Hi All
I am not a stills man myself except for 35mm.
But I got this E-Mail. Can anyone help please.
A fellow 50's member has a digi camera and is trying to figure out how to convert the pic to .jpg. Right now, the pic comes up as an .exe program file. If anyone can lend a hand, he would be very grateful. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Malcolm
I cannot see how a pic (picture?) .jpg file can appear as a .exe file. Can you get some more info from your friend such as the digital camera he is using etc?
Cheers
...and what he is using to get the file from the digital camera into the computer, that gives him an .exe file?
(RS232/USB wired link, CF card, memory stick???)
All the cameras I've seen or read about produce either JPEG (jpg) compressed files or TIFF (tif) uncompressed. The only way I can think of getting an exe is that someone's bound together a slide show of files and made it into a self-running exe file.
Another thought. Try opening the file in Winzip and having a look inside, it might just be a self-extracting zip file.
