yep. Open up paintshop pro, photoshop or even paint and then open the file of your choice. I think it's easier to use paintshop pro or photoshop. So once the file is open in your program of choice just go to file save as and just rename and resave in whatever format you want.
it's not a newbie question really. |

By Bitmap, did you mean the Halo format??? If you didn't, what he said was right, if you did, I will tell you how.

yes paint would be awesome if it could do alpha.
i wonder if openoffice.org's DRAW can do alpha. It's free and is somewhat like paint, a little better in some aspects. |

As far as drawing programs go, I would recommend Paint.net for being powerful but free. It does layers, alphas, and a bunch of other things you would want in a program. I never got into Gimp but its good too.
