My mom has a Kodak DX7430 digital camera. It uses an SD card to store
the images, plus it has a USB port. She has been getting prints of
images at the local grocery store, or CD's made through some other
retail expert, but she'd really like to print her own pictures.
She runs FC2 - soon to be upgraded to FC4. Alas, the apps installed with
FC2 don't support that camera, and upgrading to newer versions is more
trouble than just upgrading the OS. In the mean time, I've been
experimenting with FC4 on my laptop as a proof of concept.
I can read the SD card in FC4, see the directory, see the files and
their sizes. The problem is that none of the graphic apps in FC4,
including The GIMP can actually interpret the files which are reported
as being JPEG. I can copy a file from the flashdisk to the HD, but still
can not find an app that will show me the picture. The most informative
message I get is "Unknown file format".
Has anyone experience with Kodak cameras and Linux? Is there something
special about how Kodak encodes their images?
Or should I just switch my mom to Windows and be done with it.
