254918 2004-07-24 02:14:00 Prior to a recent re-install of 98SE and Office 2000, any time I opened a .jpg file it opened with menus that allowed editing such as adjusting brightness, contrast etc. Now those menus do not show when I open a picture. Do I need to change the "open with" options or "associate with" options for .jpgs or something? I see referneces to MS Photo Editor in previous topics, but can find no reference to it in my help files. What do I need to do so that when I open a picture, I have the editing menus/options available? CharlieBoy (5920)
254919 2004-07-24 02:26:00 You need to remember what program was displaying the pics,I personally can't hazard a guess from your description. metla (154)
254920 2004-07-24 02:42:00 Greetings , GF recomended the following freebie for Jpegs , and I've found it works a treat - maybe an option if you can't remember/ find the prior application you used

Hope that may help :)

254921 2004-07-25 00:38:00 Thanks metla and KatiMike. I've downloaded Irfan, but it does not give the option of chagning brightness or contrast etc. I don't think the application I used to have was a separate application, and have the impression that it was part of Win98SE or Office 2000. lol that doesn't mean that i'm right about that CharlieBoy (5920)
254922 2004-07-25 02:26:00 Charlieboy: Irfanview does have the option to change brightness & contrast. And much more.

Open an image, goto view/ enhance colours. You will see options to change RGB colours + brightness, contrast & gamma.

Many other options are very useful, so it's worth looking further.

254923 2004-07-25 02:29:00 Correction, sorry.. It should read: goto image/enhance colours etc. Bazza (407)
254924 2004-07-26 04:23:00 My apologies Bazza You're right lol I didn't llook far enough in Irfanview. Thanks for the help everyone. But still wish I new which feature or application I used to have CharlieBoy (5920)
254925 2004-07-26 14:01:00 Was it the Kodak image thing? sorry I cant remember, but I know it comes with Win98se. Rob99 (151)
254926 2004-07-26 14:15:00 excellent thought Rob99 - I remember seeing that as an option in the "open with" field in win98se - I had to use it once when Quicktime took over all the image associations on a win 98se 'puter .
From memory it was pants and Irfan was heaps better ... just my memory ... ;)

254927 2004-07-26 15:35:00 Yeah Irfan View is the way to go with Win98, it is such a powerful little program.
