Title: WMF to JPG using Quick Convert
Post by: Connie on 2017-10-17 20:41:14

I have old WMF files and wanted to convert them to JPG.  The JPG file ends up with a black background, rather than a white background, as I've specified in "Background color for delete and cut" as defined under Options | Viewing | Editing."

Is there any other option I should change in order to get a white background instead of black?

Thanks for any suggestions...

Connie

I think it's: Options | Viewing | Appearance | Background color for.. Metafiles.

(you probably know this, but just in case: most WMF files are vector-based, and when you convert them to a bitmap format like JPG, they're no longer scalable - so, you may want to keep the original files too)

Hi Daan,

Thank you (one again).  I was soooo close.  :)

I do know about the scalable issue, but I appreciate your mentioning it.  It's so easy to forget those little details!
