To change .BMP to .JPG with Photoshop, File - Open your .BMP and File - Save for Web and select JPEG from the Settings on right. Select the 4-UP tab and select the image with the quality needed. Click OK and save image.

Another way to consider is to open the file, then choose Save As instead of just save. From the drop down list in the Save As Dialog Box, select jpg, and click OK. The next box that appears allows you to choose a compression level.

When you open a .BMP file in Photoshop, you don't have the choice of .JPG in the File - Save As: which is why I suggested other way. Of course, you can use just about any graphics program to convert a .BMP to a .JPG.

BTW ... If you open the .BMP and change the Image - Mode - Indexed Color to RGB Color first then you do get the Save As: JPG option.

Holy Smokes dreamer... You're right! It has been at least a couple of years since I have worked on anything that started out as a BMP file. Thanks for the correction.

Sorry, I didn't mean contradict you like that. Constantly working with graphics has trained my eye.

No problem... I work with this stuff every day, but in all honesty I cannot remember the last time I had to work with anything in a bmp format. Being from the photography and print publication end, almost everything I touch is raw, tif, psd, pict, or jpeg. Of course I showed my son (an ra for the Opera - a Half Life mod I think) this and he laughed and told me I should have remembered that. I guess a lot of the game sprites are done in bmp.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum. The publishing for Web side...very little with the print side. When i'm not reworking hundreds of images daily or trying to deside which graphics software to master next or web designing, i'm here looking for questions to answer (or correcting people LOL).
