Extracting images

[tombaron]

I have been sent what appears to be an exe file containing some great photos i want to extract. Windows calls it 'appliction' and gives no further details of it.

When it it played the photo play as a slide show with random wipes inbetween. Right clicking advances to the next photo, left clicking ends the show.

Does anybody know how to extract the images as separate files?

Thanks

Sounds like PowerPoint?

There's probbaly a clever way to do it but a quick fix is to use 'print screen' then open a new file in whatever program you use for image processing, then paste it and Save As.

It isn't powerpoint, at least not any version of powerpoint I've ever used. Will print screen preserve image quality?

Think you might have to discover what the presentation has been made with if you haven't got individual files.

And "no", using "Print Screen" will only give you a file at the same resolution as the monitor, IIRC.

Several apps do this, ThumbsPlus being one of them, a right-click and "Properties" should give an indication of what produced it.
Chances of extraction are slim...

True, but if all you want to do is punt it around the internet, it's fine - you'll get an exact visual copy of what you see.

try loading the file into a hex editor and see if it tells you what program it was created in.
