Default Re: Problems with GIMP and TGA

Many people in the forum here will greatly acclaim IrfanView as a great side program to GIMP and Dom mapmaking. It makes it easy to view the maps directory AND it converts files from one format to another. Im guessing it will be as helpful in modding.

TIP: always save your work in the format native to the application first. So save a GIMP project in GIMP format and THEN save it again as a tga or whatever. There almost always is some useful information, layers, resolution, etc lost when you convert from the programs native choice to something else. Having it in the programs format can be very helpful if you want to make changes later.
