Converting TGA's?

**Duguntz** · 03-16-2010, 07:23

hello fellow EB friends and fans. i took some screenshots, who appears in TGA's format, and thus i can't view them, i took them before using FRAPS. Is there a way to convert them in a format that could see them? some of them can do nice Demotivators! I never NEVER took any screenshots, from anything, on a game... so I'm kinda no0b in the domain

Any help?

Do you have gimp? It's sort of a poor man's photoshop, and is free to download. If you open TGA's with gimp, you can go to "save as" and erase the .tga and replace it with .jpg. Voila, you got a JPEG image!

GIMP was made by and for pimps 'round the world. I use it where I don't have access to Photoshop. I never use it for my photographs, but it sure comes in handy when working on various formats.

Yeah, i still didn't figured out how to make it worth, when i open a Pic with GIMP it open it as all black...

Duguntz you can delete your TGAs. They are useless. When you take a screenshot with the Rome engine while anti-aliasing is enabled you will have black-shots for results. Sorry bud. You want anti-aliased pretty-shots? Use Fraps.

so the entire plate making assembly (me included) of www.kronoskaf.com are pimps?

I will take the stance of the tunisian govt. on this.

anyways: you don't necessarily need GIMP to see TGA's. as long as you turn off anti-aliasing, you shouldn't have a problem seeing it. if you do have it on, you need FRAPS.
