i try to save pics off the net and everytime it automaticly saves it as a bitmap file. it gives me the promt that lets me change the file type but i have no other options. it did this ever since i installed adobe photoshop. is there a way that i can have the pics automaticly saved as a jpeg, basiclly non bitmap?
 
usually if the pic is posted as a .bmp , you have to save it as a .bmp. You can however, download it as a bmp then open it in ps and save it as a different format. Bitmap's suck.
 
You have to change the default settings for saving pictures.
 
here is the ghetto way i do it.


right click.
email picture
when the picture comes up as an attachment in your outlook email, right click that one and save as...

easy as pie.

really? how does that work? sorry man i am ignorant to these things.

it's a known Internet Explorer bug. When your temp file directories are filling up (because you've been looking at too much internet porn), IE will not let you save pics as anything but bitmaps.

Just go to Tools --> Internet Options and hit the "Delete Files" button under "Temporary Internet Files".

I know, you thought I was kidding? You don't think I know what insane amounts of test can do to your system? I mean, I've read about it... :p :p :p

delete your temp i-net files

also if you didn't want to do that for some reason just open up the bitmap in MSpaint and save file as a jpg, gif, or whatever it is that you want
