How to edit format of image?

Question

I got a new phone and took a picture with it, and emailed it to my email address. I am able to see it with Windows Picture and Fax viewer, but nothing else will accept it's format. I want to convert it but don't know how...I right clicked it and went to properties, and it says Type of File: File ... never seen that before

Answer 1

Right click on the filename, click "Save File As", then select "JPEG" or "JPG", depending on what phone you have. Then you can open it into your favorite photo editor do color retouch and resize.
