I've had a Minolta Dimage 5 digital camera for a few months now (bought it second hand), and up until yesterday I've just been opening the JPG files in Photopaint then editing them from there. I found out yesterday that the camera should have included a CD with the Minolta Dimage Image Viewer software on it, which you can open the files and do some trick effects that you can't really do using Photopaint.
Does anyone know where I can get this program from? Is it freeware? The reason I ask is because I've searched high and low on the net and I can find the updates, but no actual product download. I'm even willing to buy it from Minolta but they don't sell it :confused:
Anyone know where I can get it? If it is freeware could somebody do me a big favour and email me it. If it isn't freeware, can someone point me where to purchase it (doesn't seem to make sense that they would only give it away with the camera - what happens if someone loses the software CD?).

Thanks very much,
Jonathan

I've got a Minola x20. I've not installed the original software yet as I use Adobe which is very comprehensive. I'll have a look at the original CD when I get a chance and see if I can arrange sending you a copy in next few days.

I'm after this particular program because you can open the RAW images from the camera and adjust everything there and then (exposure compensation, sharpness, colour etc.).
I'm not sure how many MB's it is, but if you want I'll give you access to my FTP server and you can chuck it on there (still got something like 1GB left on there :rolleyes: ). PM me if you want to go down this route.

Thanks once again,
Jonathan

I may get a chance to have a look tonight when I get back from work. If not it'll be wednesday. I've only got a hotmail account so FTP server may be way to go.

OK no problem - I'm not in any rush for it, but I'll be taking several photos in two weeks time so would be great if I could have it by then.
