Graphic file ext.

<font color=blue>are you "printing" or saving the file. If you are saving, have you tried to use the "Save as..." function. This may allow you to convert the file to another file type. Check it out.
</font color=blue>The GPS program will only print to a device. When you click on print function and then printer setup there is no print to file option to click. But you can click save to file option and it only saves it as a bitmap.

<font color=blue>What kind of image are you manipulating?</font color=blue>
If i understand you question correctly it would be the bitmap. Should I open the file in the "editing" program and than save it in another format before editing it or just keep working with the bitmap ext?

<font color=blue>What is the GPS software application?</font color=blue>
Delorme 3D TopoQuads

<font color=blue>What other applications are you trying to use?</font color=blue>
Serif drawPlus, Arcsoft Photostudio, Microsoft Word and/or Publisher. Most of these programs are around 3 to five years old. Any suggestions on photo editors or draw programs. Is there one program that can both draw and edit photos?


Thanks for the help, Terry.

Rowski,

Under the File menu, do you have a "Save" or "Save As" menu option. Typically, you can save a file as another file type such as .jpg, dwg, bmp, .pic, or a host of others. Usually when saving a file, the application has its own default file extension type or uses a common file type. That is why I suggested this method.

Now, not knowing your application, you may not be able to this. A "feature" provided by the software developer. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif If the developers are nice, they would have given you multiple options. These options allow you to move files between applications easily and also allow you to use them for Web page displaying.

I remember working with a grahics package that had a similar "feature" like you describe. To create a particular file type, you have to "print" to a file or pseudo printer. Yuck!! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

I hope that this may help you. However, it sounds like you're working with some older applications and they may not support what I have described.

<font color=blue>blowing it up will just pixelate the image</font color=blue>

Somewhat true, Bill, but in keeping with my penchant for picking nits, Photoshop, and I assume others, are capable of doing more than just pixelating when you rescale an image. You can choose various resampling techniques, from simple "nearest neighbor" to "bicubic" interpolation:

Even the bicubic will never be as good as the original, but not exactly pixelated, either.

Is this helpful? Does anybody care? Maybe not, but look at all the big words I got to use. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Yow! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I'd never even heard of bicubic interpolation! but it wouldn't be the first time I learned something new (& I hope it's not the last /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif). However, I did know there were better ways to "blow up" an image without giving it the "jaggies". The only issue (as you so aptly point out), is that you lose information. Neat stuff, and yes it's helpful (at least to me)....
