When using Gimp you have to EXPORT the file instead of save it.In the "Export menu" you will be able to save it in jpg png and many other format.Hope this will help you.

Thanks, that worked. Now to find a free scrapbook program that will work with windows 8

try paint.Net & photoScape see if they will do what you need they are both free

Hi Tramp, If you want to try a neat, free scrapbooking software you might want to try Serif's Craft Artist Compact. Go to DaisyTrail.com and download. You will have to join their site, however it is free, also. It is the watered down version of their full, for pay scrapbooking software. I think you will enjoy it. Good Luck!!

Thanks for everyone's help. Been working pretty much so haven't been here lately. I have paint on my computer but have not looked into it in depth. I don't remember all the programs I had on my windows XP computer but there were about 4 of them including Scrapbook Flair. I would use each one for different scrap pages. Will Scrapbook Flair work on windows 8?

I have windows 8 on my laptop, but the scrapbookflair software cannot be downloaded on it

Hi. Tramp and Neeltje,

My computer has windows 8 and I am able to work with ScrapbookFlair without any problems

I have tried 2 times and both times I got an error message halfway downloading, so I gave up on it

Thanks,I have not been able to scrapbook for a while but I do appreciate all the info you guys are giving me. Gathering all info I can and looking for all software that will work on windows 8

SBF design is free so is paint.net - I use both on windows 8 with no probs xx

To all, I have had many problems trying to download and install many different programs, such as MM, and Craft Artist, ect, etc. etc. including here. I finally gave up, and began making ALL my kits and graphics on the free Pixlr program online. I can access it anywhere.
My warning is stay way clear of programs like Serif, (which used to be good many years ago) that now comes bundled with many malicious, even flagged spyware, and other nasties like the Conduit virus.

Anyway, I make scrap kits, embellishments, fashion designs, masks, etc.... all using pixlr. It will even open up a PSD file, as long as it isn't too huge... Save in png, jpg, and in PXD file, while is layered. When I sell kits, I try to add both the png or jpg files, as well as a pxd file, with instruction on how to open and use it. Best of all it is free, and very versatile. I also use Photoscape sometimes, but hardly ever anymore. SumoPaint is another free online program, but Pixlr rocks!
