Windows problem - help?

[Red State Rebel]

When I right click on a photo to save it, it only lets me save it in bmp format. How can I get it to let me save in JPeg?? I can't find any settings that effect this....

Thanks!

1. Windows will only

let you 'save' the file as it was created. You need a different program to change the file type.

But since I don't really do image stuff in Windows, I can't help any further

2. Actually, it has taken Jpegs and saved them as bmp

I've gone back and double checked!

3. If you have 2000 or XP,

the Paint program that comes with it will convert from bmp to jpeg.

4. on windows NT

right click>save as, there will be two boxes below with drop down arrows. One will allow choice of .bmp or .jpg

5. I had a similiar problem.

I scanned a LOT of pics and all of them didn't save as jpg's. I was not able to upload a bunch of them to http://www.photobucket.com as I usually can do because they were not all jpg.
