Does anyone know how to convert PhotoPlus images (.Spp) to Gif or Jpg? Thanks

Pop open PhotoPlus and open up the image to be converted. Hit File >> Save As. Then make sure the Save As Type drop down list says "All Files (*.*)" and type in the name of the image followed by either a ".gif" of ".bmp" or ".jpg".

Actually, Web_Guy, you go to File => Export, then pick the file type you want to save your image as from the drop-down list, name your file, then hit "Save". :)

That's never a good idea.

Save As Type, when All Files is specified, will save in the default format with no added extension. It's kind of like everything else: You can't just turn a Word document into a web site by renaming Stuff.doc to Stuff.html. By the same logic, saving with a different extension won't turn it into that kind of file.

Saving as 'All Files' should only be done with plaintext documents (.txt, .html, .php, .css, .js, .xml, and all those), and images aren't plaintext.
