Printing TGA and Converting JPG

[iceraven]

Someone asked me if I know of a free program that would convert TGA to JPG so they can print it. Well I found one and it works very well for the PC. Its called FastStone Image Viewer. It makes converting and printing a snap.

During its install only select the file formats that do not normally come up in windows as its defaults such as TGA files.

Now from AM you will be able to right click on the image and select Launch in Associated Applications and it will put up a full screen image. Right Click to bring up a menu to save-as or print. After your done right click to get the menu and close. Its not perfect but its free and you never have to leave AM just to print a quick sample. Or a simple way to convert without the use of high end software. Students are on a tight budget.

 

You can find it at: www.downloads.com in the search: type faststone and select the faststone image viewer 2.0.5
