Changing types of photo files

I'm trying to download pictures to a web site.  My photos are mpg files.  The site only accepts jpg, gif or png files.  What should I do to upload my pictures?

Hello GailAL,

You must edit them in a graphics application, and then save them in another format.

1. click on the Start button.

2. click on programs followed by accessories.

3. on the accessories drop dowen menu, click Paint

4. open a photo in paint application.

5. Once open in paint, clik the file option and then "save under". Now, you can see a selection of formats, by example, Jpeg, Bmp, Gif, Png.

6. Select the format you want to save your picture, name the file, and then save.

7. your file should now be saved in the desired file format.

Incidentally formats Bmp and Gif to create very large files, so stick with Jpeg or Png.

GIF format is mainly used by magazines because of the superior quality necessary for printing.

  • Z3 phone won't save any type of picture file

    For about five days now my Z3 phone won't save any type of photo file using any method I can think of. I deleted a lot of memory, tried to use the diagnosis Album (no joy), saved on my laptop (no problem detected during the process), cleared the cache and junk files, I don't know what to try next. It will save all the pictures taken by the camera, will not save the screenshots, wallpapers, downloads, transfers - any photo file type whatsoever.

    Help, please!

  • How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

    The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

    If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

    There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones photo file format changed in. jpg.rem

    Hello

    In the last two months, I've faced a weird problem with my photo files. Each file made / saved will be named with the extension. jpg.rem

    Since then, I can't front/send my photos through any media IE. BBMessenger, group e-mail chats, etc.

    I tried changing the extension manually but rejected by the system.

    What actually happens? And how it can be fixed pls?

    Thank you very much

    Don't worry, you already enabled file encryption and you cannot view the file on any other device other than your own. Go to options > security options > encryption, and then select Disable from the menu drop-down

  • How to manually change the DNS zone files?

    I'm running OS X version 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and using App Server version 5.0.15 on a Mac Mini.

    I need to change the DNS Zone files manually because the DNS Server App Manager does not provide a U / I in order to add some elements (such as adding a delegation, etc.).  I use TextWrangler (5.0.2) as editor-in-Chief.

    I found an old post on how to do this here, but the information listed it seems obsolete.

    I was able to find the zone files to:

    / Library/server/name

    as:

    CBI .

    When I try to save or overwrite the db. files, or try to save all the files in that directory, I get an error indicating that:

    "Save the authenticated for this file failed (error application code: 20004).

    Since a window Terminal, if I go to that directory and type:

    Echo hello > temp.txt

    I get:

    Permission denied

    I am logged in using an administrator account.

    Before editing the db. files, I turned off the DNS in the App Server, then exit the server application server.

    What should I do to manually update the db. files?

    These files are protected from root.  You need to elevate your permissions to be able to change them.

    Probably you use a text editor like vi, nano or pico command line.  sudo vi/path/to/file for example.

    Back up the files first to protect against error.  In addition, be aware that Apple can run on some of your changes if you change the.app areas.

  • restore the photo files missing

    The files were not in the trash. They appear briefly in Exzoombroswer and Piacsa, but disappear after opening the program. I tried to resize a picture to email when it happpened. I remember something about "sharing". Which I ansered YES to.

    Here's a generic article on how to recover lost (including photos) files which can be useful:

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help (try Recuva):

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    1 did you changes to the computer before the show?

    Try the methods provided below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    If you can't find a file you're looking for, it could have been recorded in or moved to a different folder than you expected, or the file had been sent to the trash.

    You can start the search for the file by using the search folder, but you can also get the file by inspecting folders where you think the file is likely to be.

    Method 2:

  • How can I get the tags on the Windows Photo Gallery to attach the photo file?

    In the past, I had problems with the tags disappear as if by magic of my photos after many hours of their entry.  A few years ago I tried, as a measure of precaution, to make the files read-only and eliminate a bunch of change permissions, thinking that might prevent data disappear.  (FYI: it didn't.)  Anyway, recently I have been seized all the tags through the Windows Photo Gallery (mistake #1).  Only problem was, I don't remember I had changed permissions (error #2).  I have since reset the permissions, but now I have a bunch of pictures with labels WPG, but not in the files themselves, and I know from experience that it will be a mistake to keep it like that.

    So the question is this: How can I transfer the WPG tags only to the photo files themselves?  (Please tell me that there is an easy way...)

  • Windows Explorer 7 change modification timestamps of files while selecting

    I have something very weird.

    One volume, it is in fact a TrueCrypt container and a hidden, but still: nothing is weird anywhere except in one place where I am browsing of .eml files, which are emails from some backup program.

    In fact, copying the files to my regular C: partition changes also modification dates, but that may be a bug in Windows 7 "regularly." I just used RichCopy to copy this 6 000 file folder. If Explorer now would end never read the new directory... so much worse I deleted most of it using a different file Explorer, and now the behaviour is not replicated here.

    There is a strange difference between the Explorer on my TrueCrypt volume window and my C: drive, which is also TrueCrypt, just not hidden.

    The folder C: shows options records 'Date' 'Modified' and 'Created' as columns, while the hidden volume indicates 'Modified' and 'Created' as an option for the columns, but not the simple "Date." What more, apparently this column 'Date' analysis (or indexed) the contents of the file, because it shows email dates not present in one of these stamps of file. This would explain why the column 'Date' is not present on the other volume, because I think that it is set to Index only the volume of my system. This could also explain why Explorer took several minutes able to read the contents of the folder and has not yet finished before I canceled it.

    But that in itself may not be good, because the indexer does not actually cover these locations and each file is scanned in fact.

    Then, the reasons for what it is is not known. My tool using alternative (XYplorer) now no longer retains the change dates. At the time wherever the files are copied, they are still correct, but less than a second, I see the date mod change at the present time. And now RichCopy ALSO cannot keep mod-dates. All these volumes are NTFS.

    Referencing of: Windows 7 Windows Explorer change suddenly last updated Date of the files attribute

    During this time, it does not change the date of any other file I can copy. Since the same volumes. Not for the other files can be analyzed as text, image, audio. It does only to EML. But only for the location, after that I copied the files somewhere else (on the same volume) before I put back the date mod (changing the time system and then do the thing) it will that thing even in this other place. And now to the main location also is more compatible. He will do it is no longer the files I copied elsewhere when the date was a day back. But it always does to any other files.

    Maybe my backup tool that created the files just made something weird, I don't know.

    This is much like the following article.  Maybe their solution will work for you...

    "*.eml timestamp - select the file in Windows Explorer changes the modified Date.

    <>http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/b413258d-08c1-46f8-a7f7-6f0c6c8dd6d6/eml-time-stamp-select-file-in-Windows-Explorer-changes-the-modified-date?Forum=w7itprogeneral >

    The columns that you see in a window of the Explorer can be customized (in the Explorer window, press then release the ALT key, then select 'View'-> 'Choose details', or you can set it by choosing a 'type' to the file (right click on the folder-> properties-> customize (tab)-> change "what kind of folder do you want?))  Some will be displayed 'Date', some don't.
