TGA converting

thefretmaster · 03-08-07, 09:29 AM

hi can anyone tell me what programs can export in .TGA file type?
i am using adobe fireworks and this does not allow tga export. if you know of any free converters that are not 30 day trials (which i am using for now) that would be really helpfull.
cheers

I use PSP (PaintShopPro) 7.0, not the newest version but it does lots of jazz.
Are you just looking to make a coning tower emblem or something more involved?

Deep Paint 2.0 is freeware and a very nice program.
It's like 59 megs.

Adobe Photoshop 7 exports to Targa files. But, it is not freeware. Adobe Fireworks is a Macromedia Product that was bought by Adobe. So, its probably why it doesn't allow TGA conversion like the true Adobe products have.

You might want to try Tucows.com for freeware and type in TGA Converter, Targa Converter, TGA, or Targa, or Image Converter into search to see what comes up.

My first search result was this:
http://tucows.com/preview/228797

There seems to be alot of image convertors that export to TGA.

awesome thanks for all your help.
tiki - i keep finding the same results and all of them are free trials, but thanks anyway

ill have a look at infranview again and see if it does, otherwise ill have a look at the one privateer suggested

oneday i'll be able to give somthing back to this community after all the help you have given me, but as of now im STILL stuck on pack 3d. lol i just dont understand why i keep getting ctd whenever i import anything
