jpeg are better...and 360DartGT66 has got it right, stay in irfan viewer and do it all in that program...you will get use to it just hunt around in the program it does a lot of things.
Thanks Brad. What is it about the jpegs that makes them better? I used to save everything as a bitmap and eventually changed to the jpeg format. I don't recall why I made that decision. It may have had something to do with the size limitations of the files when uploading them to sites or sending them in emails. - It was a long time ago. I guess I should research the answer myself.
You guys are really helping me out overcoming the problem I ran into. I was getting so frustrated I almost gave up. The results that 69_340_GTS showed were awesome. I still want to try one of those ALPS printers some day. I'd be in 7th heaven if I could achieve results that good.
