OT: free viewer/converter software for Mac
Hi Not Frame related, but I thought some of the Mac users might be able to help. My wife is a teacher and uses a Mac at school. She has bought an educational program that imports digital images, but only as bmp files. Because she wants to import photos taken on a digital camera, she needs to convert them from jpg to bmp. Can anyone recommend some freeware/shareware viewer/converter program that will allow her to do this conversion on her Mac laptop. I know there are many programs like this for a PC (XnView, IrfanView, etc), but I'm a bit lost in the Mac world. I did find a Mac version of XnView, but it's a beta and doesn't support file conversion yet.

Dave, Graphic Convertor is good for this kind of thing, and chances are that her educational district may have an educational license for it. But it is demo'd at http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Preview saves images as BMP, plus many others.

If your wife has many photos to convert, Automator includes a Preview action for converting image formats. Just tried it - works a treat, and much quicker than writing an AppleScript. Paul
