Like millions behind me, I use Microsoft Paint for my JPG images. But those damned pixels bug me. Is there any other software that doesn't pixelate pictures, like PNG's? I need to know for those portal images. — Chris of the Futurama 2 [ discuss | contribute ]

As of XP, MSPaint can save in PNG format, which won't pixelate. Personally, I use a pirated copy of Photoshop CS. It's a few generations outdated, but it works fine.--Buddy 18:06, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
If you want something that is free, perhaps you should try GIMP (Windows download)? --SvipTalk 18:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
GIMP doesn't seem to work, so I guess someone else will have to get those images. Unless someone else has another? — Chris of the Futurama 2 [ discuss | contribute ]
Perhaps we can add a tag to artefacty images so that other users can replace them. But you could still continue to upload. Imperfect images are usually better than no image at all. --Buddy 21:47, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Well i always use ms paint and save them as png. and that works out fine for me.--I'm Scruffy... the Janitor. 22:19, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Really? I tried that and it says "the file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." Mind you, I'm not a computer wiz. — Chris of the Futurama 2 [ discuss | contribute ]
also, don't think it does it with XP, when saving jpeg images on Vista, it dosn't pixellate images if saved in jpeg--I'm Scruffy... the Janitor. 23:20, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Dang you people make me glad I don't use Windows... --SvipTalk 00:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
I dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu. I find them both equal, other than gaming. Not many fancy games for non-windows systems. --Buddy 00:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
You know you have to "Save As..." and change the "File Type" to PNG, right? You can't just save it with a .png extension. That's probably that "incorrect extension" thing. --Buddy 00:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

haha, what a noob. no offense or anything...--I'm Scruffy... the Janitor. 02:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Personally, I use GIMP on Vista. I did have Photoshop 7 on my old XP machine but when that died I went with something a little less pirated. A more direct link for Windows GIMP is this one, you'll want the base package. Like Photoshop, there is a bit of learning to do. - Quolnok 04:04, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
