Guest musketiii Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Re: view bmp files I should have added "and retain the bmp image in my files". I want to view the images as I catalog them opened, not as icons. I have plenty of storage space and prefer the bmp fidelity. Thanks for the help!! "R.

The context menu, available through right clicking the file icon in Windows Explorer, should be offering a "Preview" function, which will allow you to view .bmp and many other graphic file formats without modifying the files on the disk. Look at the bottom of the Preview window for a projection screen icon that can start a full screen slide show of the graphic images in that folder. Moving the mouse during the slide show activates a little control panel with buttons for functions like pausing and exiting the slide show.
