Need a .TGA file reader for editing

Post by Jack ONeill »

All,

Have been using Adode Paint shop (or whatever) to deal with .tga files for (pretending) to edit them. After the latest "update" it no longer wants to do that. God alone knows why or what happened. Does anyone know a good program I can download to edit .tga files? I'd like to screw up some flags. Thanks in advance.

Well.....there are several available that are free, as far as I remember!

1) Gimp

2) Gimp2

3) Paint.net - the program that Reb use to create the flags!.....this would probably be your best choice considering that Reb can answer any questions that you have!

DaV,

Roger that. Paint.net is probably the right one. Thanks.

You probably need to re-associate tga files with Photoshop.
Right click any tga file and click on 'Open With', then find your Photoshop.exe and click.
