Bad TGA Header

[Cad1959]

I received some .PDN Files and when I tried to open them in Paint.Net I got this message There was an error opening this file and when I went to see the details it said this 

 

Application version: paint.net 4.1.6

System.FormatException: bad TGA header

   at PaintDotNet.Data.TgaFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\PaintDotNet\Data\TgaFileType.cs:line 376

   at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 496

   at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158

 

How can I fix this file so I can open it?

Wait... are these .pdn files or .tga files?  I assume .tga.

 

If you're willing to use a Beta release, Paint.NET v4.2 has improved TGA support. It might help open the images.

If you can't open it with the 4.2 Beta, then attach the image here and we'll look into it. @null54 will be interested as well, he improved a bunch of TGA handling in 4.2.
