I have a celestron digital handheld microscope. I was wondering if it can be used by ANY other imaging software? I can't utilize the camera settings. Is there any program that I can use and actually control the microscope cam from the computer? Also I would like to know how people get the navigational edit arrows? I have tried to place arrows,or draw circles to indicate what it is that I am seeing, and when I save the edit, it comes back up pretty much the same picture I started with...no arrows ect. How do I do that?

It's probably done with a photo editing program like photoshop.

I generally use GIMP to edit photos and add stuff like that.
You can download it for free from their site.

I have Paint Shop Pro, and Adobe...I am sure the options, or tools are there, I just dont know what they are called. I have ventured all of the tools and cannot find one that will let me stick an arrow pointing at an area of my choice, and keep the arrow there after saving "as". I know this is a camera forum I just thought the software was part of all of that. I will check this "Gimp"tool out...Thank You

in photoshop you have to make sure you are in vector shape mode then go to where the "line tool" is on the tool bar and click the black arrow beside it and go down to the custom shape tool. Then up top click the shape of the arrow tool and then place it where you want it and drag to make the arrow shape on the picture

I use PhotoScape for all my editing. It's free and a lot more user friendly than Photoshop. The arrows can be two coloured, point in any direction and are easily saved.  I feel as though I need some sort of degree in Physics (or something) to edit in Photoshop  , and at my age I don't learn new tasks easily.  Can't teach an old dog new tricks, too true for me.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

photoshop can make an arrow in any direction, all you have to do is free form it to the size and shape you want the arrow and then rotate it to point at what ever you want it to point to. Its really simple once you do it once
