Changeing a jpeg image as a gif??

[jon46y]

Hello all, I am about pulling my darn hair out. I thought this would be easy to find an answer to. What I would like to have the option to do and btw I did do it accidently so I know it can be done. Anyway all I want to do is save a picture as a gif from my digital camera instead of a jpeg. The way I have to download pics to my pc from camera is take the smartmedia card and put it in this usb device that turns to drive E in microsoft Picture it. Anyway I do end up with a picture in my pictures folder but it's always a jpeg. Well, awhile back I got this awesome picture of a humming bird drinking out of a feeder, anyway I ran it through picture it and saved 2 copys. The thing I can't figure out is one copy is a gif and it's a lot larger than the jpeg but it looks better as a gif. Thanx for any help. BTW I'm using windows me. John.

All you have to do is open the picture to be saved in Microsoft Picture It! and then go to file-->save as, and at the bottom of the window and choose save as type *.gif.


Btw, you don't have to open it in MS Picture It, it should work the same in MS Photo Editor.
