Digital Camera Handling

Plugging in the Kodak CX4200 camera in the USB port did not elicit any reaction. Disappointed, I went searching for a SANE application which would help.
The search resulted in the KDE Cam program which could be used to transfer images from the cam. Under the tools menu in KCam, the camera could be detected, and a few clicks later, I was able to copy images from the camera. The KCam application also has a few basic tools, like rotate, which I used. Unfortunately, the modification is saved automatically, which means that the original image is overwritten without prompt, something I did not appreciate.
