Today I need to display a small image on a patch. [fpic] looks perfect, except

that it only read PICT files. I only have a JPEG version of the image, I don't

have Photoshop, so please tell me about a freeware (or working demo) convertor

for getting a PICT version of my JPEG file. I tried the online convertor

www.media-convert.com but it results in a 100% black image.

I forgot, there was a Windows version of Gimp. I had it on my Linux desktop

Thanks for the idea


In a lot of ways it's much easier than fpic.

I've been searching everywhere for exactly the same on Windows OS...and so far i've found nothing, so if you found one please do post it!

Failing that i'm going to have to resort to buying Photoshop Elements. It's probably a bit late now but you could also have gone for a demo of Photoshop, it'd have sorted you out for today (and the next 30 days too).

Either way, i hope you managed to sort it out :-)

Actually, if you install Quicktime (separately from Max) you can use bmp, jpg

I downloaded GIMP last night and there's no way of saving or converting to a .pict in the Windows version unfortunately. It does look like a pretty good alternative to Photoshop though!

I posted in the Yahoo! Users Group for GIMP, just to make sure i wasn't being dumb and missing something obvious, but alas it doesn't do it. On a much brighter note though, someone directed me to an application that will do it, which was a bit of an halelujah moment after all the searching i've done for one!!!

It's called Image Magick and you can download it from here (for free):

http://imagemagick.oss-mirror.org/download/

It's a bit of an "average" user's nightmare, being a code based environment, but it looks like a Max users wet dream, a bit like Photoshop in a Csound sort of way. The best bit is, i've done it and it actually works.

Hope that helps any Windows based, non Photoshop owning Maxers out there.
