Windows Photo Gallery saves the image as a bitmap instead of jpeg

each picture is saved bitmap bmp instead of jpeg

three days now library saved all my images as bmp bitmap without title instead of jpeg as it uses to.how do save it as jpeg?

Hi super1904,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. How do you save the photos?

Check if the default viewer is defined as the Windows Photo Gallery and also the jpeg, jpg, jpe file types have set of Gallery Windows as the default program to open with.

  1. Open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
    Default programs, click
  2. Associate a type of file or Protocol with a program. This option allows to refine the default programs based on Protocol or file type. For example, you can have all the .jpg image files open using a specific program, and .bmp image files open using a different program.

  • I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

    If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?

  • Creating a PDF file from the screen printing on Windows Photo Gallery

    I need to print to PDF from Windows Photo Gallery - specifically the contact sheet

    Do I need to have something put in place in the printer section to do this?  like to convert it to the PDF format

    Hello k. Hilger,.

    The Windows Photo Gallery does not read or open the PDF files.

    The best way to print PDF files is as you say, take a snapshot using the screen printing screen.

    Save the file as .jpeg and then open with Windows Photo Gallery and you should be able to print it out.

    You may not make any changes to your printer.

  • Dyed yellow Windows Photo Gallery

    How can I get the yellow tint of the Windows Photo Gallery?  I had vista since it came out and all of a sudden my photo gallery has a yellow tint.  I have a samsung monitor, but the profile associated with it is sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1

    Hi Colleen01,

    I understand that you are referring to article KB Microsoft 939395; did you follow the steps mentioned in the article?

    This problem can occur because an incorrect color profile is used for the monitor in the color management device. How Windows Photo Gallery uses the incorrect color profile to manage the settings of color for the images

    I suggest that you follow the steps (remove and then add the color profile) in the link below:

    The original photos (unpublished) are located in the following folder:

    Original images.

    If you right click on a thumbnail in the Windows Photo Gallery and choose...
    Open the file location... you can find the current folder, the file is saved in.

    You can right click on a picture or a selected group of photos or a complete

    Also you can drag and drop or copy and paste files from one hard disk to another.

  • Rename several Photos in Windows Photo Gallery Changes their order... Why and how to avoid this phenomenon

    When I click on Edit: select all and file: rename to rename all the pictures in a file, Windows Photo Gallery changes the order of the photos in the file when it renames them. I need all the photos in their original order as many of them are sequential in nature, so how do I rename all the pictures in a file and make them come out in the original order after renaming?

    Thanks for any help...

    Once rename you them, it shows them in this order,

    Depending on how you have renamed them, you could look in the records of the event, or an association of tag system, because wlpg bed than the names that the order in which he plays or show thumbnails,

    The exception would be if you did a slide show you can rearrange the way they play by dragging them around.

    Also, I think you should consider tags group and no file file rename.
