I have a number of scanned image files saved in the .ALBM file format that is associated with HP. I can find no way at all to convert them to JPGs.. I need to store them in a common format. Anyone?? help...

Try irfanview to change the format. I am not sure if irfanview supports albm format but I have not found a format that the program has not been able to convert.

There are many options available for resizing, simple editing, watch videos ect. Irfanview is a free program that has been around and updated for many years. Watch close during the install as the program is bundled with google desktop and search which you can choose to NOT install.

There are also quite a few plugins available linked from the homepage: IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

I love IrfanView! it is a great program for handling all types of picture,video and sound files!

I am an amatuer photographer and I take a couple thousand pictures each month.

the batch conversion/rename feature is a godsend!

Thanks, it looks like an excellent program. I am sorry to say it does not deal with ALBM files...

Any other ideas??

Is there an option in the HP photo album program to convert?

Try opening it then save as and change the file extension...

I also found this software that says it convert ALBM files..

I have never used it just found it on a search.

Free download Konvertor 3.65.5 | ST

HP was clever, no way to save under a different file type within their program that I can see... I tried Konverter 3 times, it claims to deal with ALBM files, but gives an error, not recognized message when I try..

What I would try is the HP software.. It should be able to read the album and allow you to edit them..

Here is a link to HP Photo Essentials software which I believe has the image zone and hp director software..

HP Photosmart Essential Software for Photo Editing, Printing, and SharingHP Photosmart 7450 Photo Printer

If that doesn't work I think you will have to contact HP.. I tried a few tech sites and could not find anything definite on the subject..

My daughter has that software on her laptop and it appears you can view albums.. If all else fails you can email the file to me and I can see what i can do with it..
