Or Irfanview's batch converter function:
http://www.irfanview.de/ (It's an mostly English site though it has a German domain)

Also, DeathRow', I would suggest either XnView or any other "Image Viewer" available at this location, if you want to convert Graphics Files into different file-formats...

You can also use Paint Shop Pro

Edit: it stills comes up as One or more pictures has an invalid format (jpg|gif|png|bmp|tif|swf) though i have saved it renamed it as a jpg

You can use the Gimp, its what I use. Its the Linux version of photoshop.

Where do I get this Gimp?

Darth', you will be able to download the GNU Image Manipulation Program at the following address : "http://www.gimp.org/"

PS : By the way, have you succeeded in converting your Targa files into different file-formats thanks to XnView or the other "Image Viewers" I advised to you ?

How do you take photos???

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 2:47 pm

General', while you're playing at Star Wars Battlefront II, you must press the "[Print Screen]" key in order to take screen-captures of the current scene, which are then transcoded into Targa Graphics Files and stored in the "LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\ScreenShots" directory...

And if the game crashes when you use the print screen, than you could use Fraps...

No not yet Lev... lol. I dunno how do covert them.
All I can do is look at them

In that case, I would suggest reading the following steps, Darth' :

Open XnView
Go in the "Tools > Batch Conversion" menu
In the newly-opened window, click on the "Add" button present in the "Source" field
Browse your Hard-Drive till the directory containing the Targa files you wish to put into JPEG ones
In the "Destination" section, click on the "..." button
Select the folder in which all converted Graphics Files will be sent to
Chose the file-format you want the above files to be encoded into
Click on the "Launch" button in order to proceed to the "Conversion Process"

You're welcome, DeathRow'...

PS : Since this topic does not have many common links with Star Wars Battlefront II, I guess it should have been moved to the "Anything Goes..." section earlier...
