Gimp (was Which Software)
OK I tried Gimp. A little confusing at first, but after playing with it for
a couple of hours and reading some of the good tutorials, I find it easier to work with than IrfanView. However, after manipulating my first 35mm slide image and getting the color and size improved, I found I could not save the new image. Got a message that said the save action failed because of "unknown file type." Any clues on how to fix this? |

You probably used the (default) option to choose file type based on filename, and supplied a filename without a recognized suffix (.jpg etc). The native lossless format of the Gimp is XCF (corresponding to PSD in Photoshop). -- Måns Rullgård |
