AllenR Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I have some .rif files (NOT .rtf) from an old CorelDraw program (from Windows 98) that are illustrations for a book my wife made. She wants to get back to these but we can't find a program to open them and so far I haven't been able to get Paint.net to. Can anyone tell me if it will and if so, how? Do I need a plugin for them? I'm new at this so asking questions. Am attaching one as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hellon AllenR, You may have to find someone who has CorelDraw to save as or export the illustrations to a format you can use (Jpeg, PNG, TIFF...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenR Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks Eli. I'm asking around if anyone I know has CorelDraw but no luck so far. I thought Paint would open the files so I could save them to another format but apparently it won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It isn't impossible. Paint.NET does support File Type plugins, so some enterprising plugin developer might take a stab at making a plugin that would load those files, assuming the filetype spec is somewhere publicly available. I, however, am not a plugin dev. So that person would not be me. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...
