Post by: ficedula on 2001-05-22 21:57:00: Whether or not Paint can handle JPG's depends on which filters you have installed. That depends on which version - if any - of MS Office you've got. So you can't count on it opening anything except BMP's. It might ... or it might not.

Post by: Ant on 2001-05-25 18:00:00: I had this demo of a program called Advance JPEG Compressor. Its really good. It cut almost all picture sizes by more than half.
But it didnt let u save them.
Does anyone know of any that are totally free-ware?

Post by: Srethron Askvelhtnod on 2001-06-01 16:34:00: I agree with Halkun. If you need to convert between formats, Irfanview is by far your best choice. I've used it for a fair amount of time, and I don't really have (m)any complaints. It supports a *ton* of formats (lots of plugins), a couple languages, and, best of all, it's free.
