How to I use a digitial camera as a webcam?

I have a canon powershot sd100 digital elph. I went to the cannon site, and downloaded the remote capture specifically for my camera. I connected my camera to my computer with the USB cable. When I press connect on the remote capture, it says
Camera error: Check the lens cover and the cable connections, then reconnect
I try turning the camera on, or switching to video, and it still won’t work.
PLEASE HELP! tell me what the problem is, how to fix it, or give a new site to download some type of remote capture, or something PLEASE
thanx
I also have a Kodak easyShare C875, is there any way to use that as a webcam?

Try Extra Webcam 1.1.0.62, it is software that allows you to use your Canon camera as a webcam.

If that doesn’t work, might I suggest that you go out and buy a webcam? They aren’t very expensive, and the time and energy you will save trying to make this hack work might be worth the $$.

how do i make my pictures look like this?

Yep me again. Use the very first film grain photo you get to on Deviant art when you search for FILM GRAIN and turn it WAY down until it JUST peeks through the original photo. I wouldn’t use a gaussian or other type of blur. You want to maintain the clarity of the image below but just add a certain amount of depth and feeling to it. Using tineye http://www.tineye.com/plugin you can track down photos. Like your pic. Of course has a long colorful and even illegal drug filled past. By having tineye and right clicking the photo you posted for us we can see its’ history here http://www.tineye.com/search/6823f86bebaf37e3a9e31934907e2b48987d60cb/ , then we follow the fourth pic to here http://psico-rak.livejournal.com/4243.html, then we right click her banner that leads us here http://www.tineye.com/search/e37026f8b46a33faa8a7d160bc492ca89ebe19c7/ , and then we click on most changed and click on the third and then we click on that pictures website underneath and we get to http://les-graphistes.frbb.net/creas-f5/galerie-le-t813.htm . Why would someone check out the lineage if you will or the past of a photo. This way you might get some ideas on how a photo can be changed. Sometimes a reduction in contrast is all that is necessary to bring out the ugly side in a phot. A little bit of color added to accentuate the beauty. The film grain you noticed to add maybe a touch of allure and mystery to the photo. Is this changed going to evoke the desired response or add what you want or will it simply be more. Has it been done before? It allows me to walk a mile in some photo’s shoes and gain some inspiration along the way. It also allows me to find out who is in a photo. Some others here in the Yahoo community want to know who is in a photo. This is one tool that allows us to take a look back in time.
