i have a pcx file that needs to be converted to gif or jpg but my computer doesn't have a converter. Does anyone know about anything i could use?
-
Paint Shop pro or Photoshop for example. IrfanView should have the codec too but I'm not sure.
-
Paint Shop Pro.
Download the trial.

thanks i'm downloadingthe photoshop trial now but it might take a while over my modem but at least i have a download manager.

The resources page is your friend: http://www.3dap.com/hlp/list.shtml
Find the link for PSP or Irfanview
-
Irfan is probably the better one to use for this sort of thing. The download is smaller (under 1Meg) and since it opens so quickly you`ll probably be in the middle of saving it while PSP would still be opening.
Best of all since it's freeware you don`t have to worry about nag requestors or any of that sort of stuff.
Stick to using PSP for actually creating art. Simple conversions are the province of a file viewer.
-
For plain conversion i'd say irfanview. But PSP is better for image editing in general. I have both, if you can get them free you might as well have both too.
-
Um... Microsoft Paint
--> Save As --> JPG (or GIF)
;)
-
fs2mm can convert large numbers of pcx. files to bmps, assuming you want all the textures from a specific model.
-
Why on earth would he want to download Paintshop or Photoshop for a simple conversion? IrFanView (http://www.IrFanView.com) is absolutely perfect. 100% free, small download, very fast, and incredibly useful for other functions as well.

I swear by this thing... it can do so much more than PS or PSP in terms of file conversion...

Irfan's compression sucks ass, though.
-
Yes, but it has a nice icon.
-

Between Paint, PSP and IrfanView, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Mwahahaha!
