Please would you explain how I can download a picture from Canon Zoombrowser EX into a Background Shape file in Templot.  I have been trying to do this, by referring to the Templot Help Information on Background Shapes, but Templot does not seem to be able to find the file.

The camera image was originally downloaded into Zoombrowser EX, and then modified in GIMP 2, and saved.  The Zoombrowser EX folder is 2008_10_25, and the modified file is IMG_4782.JPG.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Templot uses only Windows bitmap image files (.bmp file format), not jpg.

Open your image in Gimp or any graphics editor program. Save it in .bmp file format in your C:\TEMPLOT\SHAPE-FILES\ folder.

You can then load it into a background picture shape in Templot.

There is a Templot video showing how to set up an image in a picture shape:

regards,

Martin.
