Photo Question. - The Orange Mane

watermock · 08-20-2004, 02:19 AM

I don't think I did anything, but now when I try to save a picture it comes up "untitled" and Bitmap or Bmp. which is worthless to upload.

I was messing with the FF logo the other day, but I didn't really change any settings. Then I noticed it wouldn't upload as a bmp, but all my photos have generally been gifs. Now if I right click on a smiley, it still could be saved as a gif, and I can still scroll properties and paste them, and I can save bmp's fine, but it's not right, and can't be uploaded. I am at a loss what I did.

Also, I can take something like the smilie and decide if I want gif, (which the puter selects) or bmp, but now pictures I want to save go bmp and don't even give an option. I have never run into it before. Any help would be helpful before I ask the geek on the hill.

Mock - that happens to me sometimes too and I have no idea why.

I usually just save the bitmap and then convert it to jpeg in Paint.

.....then I go delete the big, stupid bitmap file.

Bitmap files are big, but they are the highest quality too.

This problem has never happened to me. I dont know what to tell ya.

I had that very same problem here awhile back........and what I was told to is is this...........

When saving a pic there is the little drop menu area that says what is is....jpg/bitmap/gif or whatever........click the arrow and it should allow you the option of saving it as a jpg file.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, I guess I guess I get to see high resolution sweat glands now.

Maybe my geek will know.

It should just set it for jpeg. like it used to. Some still goes jpeg.

It's so odd.
