G'day Cory.
Did you get some software with you camera? It's a starting point until you investigate other options.
As Rick said also.
I use IrfanView (free) for certain things. A quick review and download here.....http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/3000-2192_4-10021962.html?tag=dropDownForm;productListing
About "taking good shots", some parts of this ...http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showlibrary.php?title=Indexes:New_To_Photography_Book
in the AP Library may be useful ( you have to figure out which parts :)). Though, if you have time, it's worth going though it all. It's also free, and it's here.
All the best, and I hope you hang around these parts.:th3:
