13_15_4_14_1_18 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 This all depends on what format you save the image as. When saving, just hit the drop down box and select a different format like "JPEG" or "GIF". It is only a PDN file that can only be opened in Paint.NET (understandably..) Hope that helps!

aatwo Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 This is a program default thing I think. What's happened is you have the default image editor for "Gif" and "JPEG" set to MS paint. I am assuming you have windows XP because you sound like the kind of guy who would use windows XP. Find a JPEG file and then right click on it. Go down to "open with" and then in the sub menu click on "choose program". A list of programs should pop up, all you need to do is select the check box saying "always use this program to open this kind of file" and then find paint.net in that list and then click ok. If you cannot find it in that list click on the button that says browse and find the paint.net executable in the paint.net directory (usually C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.exe) and then click ok and it should work. Then find a gif image and do it again. Quote Deviant Art Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
