Hey

I was wondering what software people are using to transfer their pics onto their computer...

I have a Mac, and I always transfer my images by inserting the memory card into the Macbook and ripping them off that way, rather than a usb lead from the camera. The software I am planning on learning and using to touch up my pics is Photoshop Elements 10. In the past I always used iPhoto. A couple weeks ago I installed the software that came with the camera, EOS Utility, Digital Photo Professional etc (Canon software).

I have a NAS which I have a heap of stuff backed up on. I need to be able to easily back up my photos onto it.

Can anyone suggest the best way to do this?

And a little off-topic, but I was reading the instruction book that came with my camera the other day, and it talks about storing data about where there is dust on the sensor. I am guessing that this will only work if I use the Canon software to extract the pics off the memory card... Is this a feature that others use themselves?

Thanks
