Art file or Bitmap???? Why won't it work???

On my home computer when I save a pic via, 'save as', everything seems fine and dandy, but when I click on the pic icon, it says 'no preview available'??? At work I can open them and save them in 'paint' as a jpeg, but home computer won't let me do it.

Can anyone help me? 🙁

bump

it's IE fault ✅

Paint doesn't allow jpg's... That might be why, you can only save as bmp's.

Paint does allow JPEGs, how do you think half the people here make their sigs?

It's because of IE, there's some glitch with it that causes it to save images as bitmaps instead of what they're supposed to be.

I wouldn't say using a basic program like Paint. For some reason my paint is only allowing Monochrome bitmaps and 24-bit 🙁

Majority of the people here do use Paint; I use it for things like saving screenshots where it's not worth the time opening Photoshop, and it lets you save as bitmaps, JPEGs, and GIFs.

Must just be your copy.

Change your browser to Firefox Pres 😉

Or download the trial version of Corel Paint Shop Pro X. It's an awsome JPEG editor.

Much like Photoshop. 👆

I thought it was a default Windows thing though?
