Saving images (or not)

Post by MargaretS » Sat Apr 22, 2006 3:27 pm

I haven't had any problem saving images before, but all the ones I saved from 1841 last night won't open. Have tried Adobe Reader and Microsoft imaging and nothing is working. Have had another go at saving and noticed that the only option is to save it as 'all files'. Anybody got an answer to this?

Hello Margaret

I just checked mine and they are .tif images. I use Irfanview and it opened them up with no bother.
If you don't have it you can download it from the Net for free and it is a useful image viewer.

Hope it works for you

I've just installed infarview. It's brilliant. Far better than any of the other viewers I have tried. Thanks Russell
