I've never had a problem transferring digital photos from my camera (Canon Ixus) to my laptop, to do this I use a USB cable connection rather than taking out the SD card from the camera.

However, I'm having no joy trying to do the reverse. First of all I tried the USB cable connection but no option came up in the menu box to transfer photos back onto the card. So I removed the SD card from my camera, stuck it in the SD port on my laptop, and drag and dropped a photo onto the SD card. But when I put the SD card back into my camera, there's no sign of it. Any ideas?...

Yes there is a reason why you will have great difficulty in doing what you want. Metadata (Exif) is written to the card by the camera. This is done differently by various camera manufacturers.


Image editors have to interpet this info to create the image on your computer, during this process the image editor damages/alters or even removes the metadata. Without this data being present in it's original form the camera cannot read the file.

out of curiosity, why do this?

The mother in law requested the same with similar results, but there's so many ways to store, host and view images these days I can't see why you'd want to get it back on a camera when getting people to get them off the damn camera is usually the hard part ;)

You can download Opanda IExif from here.

It displays the image taken from digital camera and every item of EXIF data in the image from beginning to end.


Even down to the number of the picture that your camera has ever taken.

Thanks KK and Foxy.

EP...this came about as I wanted to print off photos using one of those machines in Boots/Snappy Snaps, which you can do via an SD card, CD, USB stick etc. I was just curious why it wouldn't appear back on my camera. I thought it would be quite a simple task...obviously not! :)

If your PC can read them back, it is likely the Snappy Snap machine will be able to read them..

Do you get a chance to see the pics before you have to pay. ?


Foxy.

No idea Ian. It's not a dealbreaker for me that I can't get them back onto the camera, I was just curious why they wouldn't go back.

I haven't been to Boots yet Foxy, but like you say, I'm sure their machine will be able to read the SD card, and I presume I'll be able to choose which photo to print off. I shall take a USB stick as back-up just in case...

It's probably too late for you now, but Snapfish often have offers on (30% off at the moment).


It's very easy to upload pix to their website, and they have very speedy delivery (mine arrived in two days.) I got 100 6X4 prints for just over six pounds, with free delivery.


Saves you a trip to Boots and all the hassle you seem to have had. And the quality of the prints is very good, in my opinion.


They're always having offers, though their half price 7X5 prints one has just finished.


ETA: I can't find a way to link to the Snapfish page without it coming up as my account, probably because I'm permanently logged in or something, but if you google Snapfish it should come up first.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
