i asked jd and he said to use photoshop so i did and it worked

i find it kinda sad that wow doesnt thik "lets make them into jpg/gif images or at least give you the OPTION to do so in-game, because not everyone pays 500 bucks or commits illegal acts to aquire photoshop."

I use Irfanview. I don't have a link, but google that and it will open up .tga files so you can always view your screenshots like a slideshow and it will also let you save them as .jpg or .gif and let you resize them. (They're usually pretty big, unlike my pen0s)
