Photoshop opens it - talk about dropping a dime though ... send it to me or someone else that has PS and we'll convert it into a jpg for you and send it back.

Is this for "Print Screen" Aids?

If I do a one shot print screen during a game.. when I am done playing, I just open paint [dot] not and edit>paste and it comes in as a .jpg

but for numerous screenies, you have to do it Swanny's way.

You can open them with a program called Irfanview, its free. It will open any image file ive encountered and you can also resize and such. you can also just save the tga file as *.jpg and windows will automatically covert it to a jpg. I use fraps for my screenshots/vids and you can choose if you want them as a jpg, bmp, or whatever. but anyways u should definitely get Irfanview, its a useful program to have around, especially if you want to resize pictures and view raw image files like tga's.

I just looked on the Paint [dot] net website ( http://www.getpaint.net/ ) and it seems that can open tga files as well..might be a plugin but hey, Paint[dot]Net is the best thing going...as capable as PS, as easy as MSPaint and as free as any politician who bribed blagovich.

**EDIT**
Once you install Paint.net, you will need this plugin to open the images from your screenshot folder:

If you've just left game, however, you can simply select Edit>Paste and it will paste it if you hit print screen in game. Plugin not needed for that. HOWEVER, for some unknown reason, only the main image itself will be shown..your radar, dialogue text etc will all be absent.
