ckcc, programme was perfect - just perfect - can't thank you enough ! - if you knew how long i've been trying to convert these images !!! many thanks again Jim
Glad it worked for you. I've been using it for years now. I have more powerful image editing software but I still use Irfanview for certain tasks esp. batch processing images. It's so quick and easy.
