Arthemis Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Milky Way Insane since: Nov 2001	posted 09-30-2003 13:48 If you're looking for mass conversion, i don't know if that does the trick. Software like photoshop does.

It has to be a simple thing to do. If everything fails, rtfm.

Yes, rtfm means "not that I don't want to explain it to you but, if you please, take a good and thorough look at the manual and it should probably teach you, in better words than mine, how to do what you desperately want to do".

Xpirex Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Dammed if I know... Insane since: Mar 2003	posted 10-06-2003 18:55 Cor blimey! Open file in Infran View... choose "file" >>> "save as" and choose one of about 17 formats.. You can also choose "batch convert/process" in the same drop down menu and convert and entire series of pics in one go that are in the same folder and choose to delete or save the originals too. ACDSEE is an ecellent image viewer too and has loads of useful options. They have a little free version that you can download and use too. Find it in Google.
