Paint has the worst JPG compression I have ever seen. I either use GIMP of Irfanview, both are free and can convert to loads of formats.

You could also consider Photoshop, less easy to get free, not saying better but more tutorials and such. Pain is indeed the worst jpeg converter ever.

I've been using Paintshop Pro 7.04 since back in 2001. I finally got tired of 'updating' it, because 'updating' usually means they spray on more bling that only make it more sluggish. I love that it starts up in a second. And with my limited experience in graphics it lets me do everything I can do (and fast). But recently I've started dabbling with Photoshop, which seems terrific for working with both normal maps and alpha channels.

My pet peeve: huge images in img code. I reserve the right to make any such image into a clickeable thumbnail whenever I see it. Angel mired in filth |

I like to use DDS converter for image conversions, just a click or two, wait half a second, and poof. It works not only for DDS, but for any of the file types it supports. I guess you could say I found a use for it outside of modding.

The Gimp !
I do remember once I went to one of those texture sites and got some nice landscape textures, but their all JPG and I saved them as TGA using "TheGimp" no error messages all was well, but then when I tryed to add it to the CS data I got an "Invalid format error" ?( I was very distraught and I did not try again....maybe I should Bob
