I have two computers, both running WinXP SP3. On my old one, I've beenAs Dave said, the continuous numbering is usually handled by the
using Dell Image Expert to download photos from my Canon camera, which
I then copy to my other computer (as a kind of backup). Each time I
download more photos, Dell continues the numbering of the JPGs, using
the format IMG_111.JPG.
Today, for the first time, I tried downloading photos directly to my
new computer, which doesn't have the Dell program on it. Using
Microsoft Office Picture Manager, I could "name" the images (so
presumably I can use the same system Dell does). However, the images
are numbered from the beginning. Is there a way I can continue the
numbering--say, by stating the first number and then asking for
consecutive numbering from that point on? I checked the Help file but
didn't see anything obvious. I'm hoping there's a general rule for
consecutive numbering of photos from a certain point--one that would
work with any of the photo programs.
Thank you!

camera (one exception is a Fuji FinePix S602Z I own). Is it possible
for you to install the Dell Image Expert software on your new
computer? That way you'd be using a program you are already familiar
with to download the pictures.
Just a thought,

program for my new computer, since it doesn't come with it.

Menu, Tools (looks like a wrench and hammer), there's a setting for File
Numbering. The choices are Auto Reset and Continuous. I have mine set to
Continuous and after I offload my pix, the next picture I take continues
the numbering from the last one I offloaded. Maybe yours is similar?

numbering of the downloaded photos. But you've convinced me that I should
look at the software that came with the camera. I'll bet it allows
continuous numbering--and I could install it on both computers.

As Sunny replied, that was the point I was trying to get across- no matter
where I download my pictures, whether it's my notebook or home PC, the
pictures will always have a different sequential number than anything I've
already saved. Like Sunny, I don't use any software; I just plug in the
SD card on my notebook, or attach the camera with the USB cable to my home
PC and save them all. I do a lot of tennis events, so a lot of pictures
are taken every day. At the end of each day or two, I download the
pictures to a folder with the event name, such as My Documents\My
Pictures\Family Circle Cup 2009. If the last picture I off-loaded was
DSCF2460.JPG, the next picture taken will automatically be DSCF2461.JPG
whether there are any pictures on the camera or not. I have never used any
camera software for any camera I've owned; it just doesn't seem necessary.
The pictures are already pre-numbered, and I don't need to waste time
messing with it.
SC Tom
that I can download without a program using either the cable or the card. I
guess what I should do is not choose a program to get the photos and instead
use the Copy command. I'll check it out the next time I have photos to
download.
Thank you!
