When I used the print screen button to capture the image, I can't seem to view it on my com and on the net. When I uploaded it to photobucket, it says it cannot open that screenshot because it is a TGA file. Does anyone have any ideas?

There's a program called the GIMP for free. It is like photoshop, but free! It can open almost any image file, including TGA's. In fact, from there, you can "save as..." and convert the file into a file that is easier to open by people without that program. (such as a jpg file!)

.TGA is the file extension that can handle alpha channels. Alpha channels are needed to make images imported to warcraft work. I only heard of one website that you can upload .tga files to. But even so it does not come our right. I suggest that you download something called the Warcraft 3 image extractor. It isn't large in size and you don't have to install it. Just download it and open the extractor. Then go to image ->open and find your image. Then go to save. When you chose the name to save it as. Delete the .blp or .tga and add .jpeg or .jpg. It really depends on how your computer works. After the first few time you should be able to make .jpeg copies of your .tga images in a matter of seconds.

Do you know any sites that provide a good image extractor? I downloaded some that did not work

It worked but the image appears opposite (like seen in a mirror) and I have to use my mirror to view it correctly. Is there something that I done wrong?

Mr. Zero

Heh, mine images does that too.

I simply save the image, open the image in Paint, press CTRL+R (Or under Picture in menuline) and rotate 180 degrees.
