.TGA File Not Saving As .TGA

Hey! 

Every time I save a file as a .TGA, it changes to a .PDN file. Am I doing something wrong? 

 

EDIT: Windows 8.1 in the last Paint.net update

TGA files do not support layers. I suspect paint.net wants you to use PDN to preserve the layer structure of your image.

Flatten your image then save it by selecting the TGA extension in the drop down list in the file save dialog. Do not simply type the extension in.

Why TGA?

I flattened the image and I was still having problems. I did the dropdown instead of typing in the extension, but it didn't work. I used an online converter, so it is all good now.  

 

I need TGA because I am making a game mod. 

 

Thanks for helping! :)
