Riddokun - I'm gonna give your "dirty trick" a try. If it really works that would be a big boon to me. I've never understood why there was this different bumping format anyway and why they end up being so huge. Say, something just occurred to me. Riddokun, what do you use to convert the bum to jpg? I don't recall that any of my graphic programs accept .bum to load and resave as another format (jpg). ?
