Pardon me for being thick but...

What do you do with .svg files? None of my graphics editors recognise them and if I try and place then onto a page in my html editor then no image shows.

Internet Explorer is about the only web browser that does not support the SVG standard (it really is basic stuff, has been a web standard for nearly ten years, and is thus one of the reasons why I don't like IE at all). There are plugins available for IE to enable it to display SVG files and code, Adobe are reportedly dropping theirs soon though.

Sorry, rant over!

SVG should import directly to Photoshop and Illustrator (though I have neither so can't confirm this), I can't speak for other commercial apps. GIMP and Inkscape (both free downloads) import SVG fine and can be used to export them as standard image files if required.

for every day punters they probably just want a supply of jpgs and gifs in a range of sizes.

Perhaps if the range of sizes could be agreed on (or requested in print size / pixel dimensions) then they could be uploaded here.

That's probably a democratic and sensible solution, meanwhile the benevolent dictatorship that is Kimboland has decided to put its money where it's mouth is and produce some simple jpgs - will be plonking them on my site any minute with a link here.

Great! And my pleasure.

CorelDRAW (maybe also CorelPhotoPaint but i haven't tested it yet) can handle .svg (scalable vector graphics). Possibly PaintShop Pro.

As for .jpg formats, in almost all applications, you can grab a corner and stretch or shrink them with your mouse. You don't have to necessarily enter numbers of pixels or milllimeters or inches, etc. for precise dimensions.

I made some business cards using your ebid logo, heate. Post #18

It was VERY easy to get the logo into a business card layout and these layouts are given in almost all basic programs like word processors.

Oh - I dont think I did!

I just want a jpg or gif that I can keep in 'my pictures' and trot it over to Photobucket and/or use it as an insert in Word docs.

I don't 'do' complicated!! LOL

For an 'uncomplicated' editor/viewer you may like to look at IrfanView. Useful for just resizing and cropping images for use in listings.

...and it's free.

Okay, a few ready-made sizes in case they're any use to anybody: http://www.bykimbo.com/ebid/help/#logos

...Possibly PaintShop Pro.

Not as at v8.1 maybe later versions do.
