EditTips

  • JPEG, for some older files, may also be seen as ".JPG" (exclusion of the "E.")
  • As of the last few years, JPEG is about the most-often chosen file format most digital cameras make sure to save their files as.
  • If Windows doesn't open the Paint program when you click "Edit", you'll need to click "Open with" and later "Paint" after right-clicking the icon to the file instead of "Edit", for every file you'd like to add dimples to.
  • JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group". JPEG is a group of files that are compressed into a 24-bit photo image-storage format.

EditThings You'll Need

  • Windows operating system
  • MS Paint program
  • JPEG image (JPG) of any sort (could even be a screenshot)
  • computer mouse
