JP2 files

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

It seems that JP2 files are an 'evolution' of Jpegs but I haven't got anything that will open them.

Can anyone suggest a conversion program that won't infest me with viruses or change my search engine to Yahoo…?

Irfanview – a great little program.

Corel Photopaint is another.

While on the subject of software, I need a video editor after taking some footage of my feet, I could not see the red or green lights on the screen in the sunlight, thats my excuse anyway.

Tried a free one but could not download as the anti virus said it was dangerous.

Microsoft Movie Maker? Don't use it myself but our sprogs have used it quite extensively I believe.

Neil: Corel Paint Shop Pro, which I find easier to use than the over-rated Photoshop.

Irfanview – a great little program.

It tried to load a bunch of Amazon applets including taking over my search

And despite associating JP2 with it it said a DLL was missing and I had to download a huge load of plugins from a site that said 'follow us or the bunny gets it'…

 

But it does what is needed quickly and simply and it's another tool for Canon RAW files.

 

So many thanks David,

Neil

Have a look at MPEG STREAMCLIP … it may do all you need.

I haven't tried he Windows version, but the Mac version is very good.

U;lead Video Studio 10 is quite simple to use and appears to be free.

Thank you lads for the info on the Video editors.

Neil – I've never had issues with irfanview adding unwanted software – so sorry about that. Maybe things have changed since my last download. I always download direct from the author's site.

[David JuppParticipant @davidjupp51506]

Ah – have just updated my Irfanview – you should have un-checked the Amazon one button option during the install (or the sub options).

Oh I caught that, while I can see this is a way of making money from 'free' products object to is the way that, if you do miss them, they can be so difficult to remove.

JPEG 2000 has been around for years, the clue is in the name. You should just be able to click on it unless you're running an old operating system without installing any other software. What OS are you using?

For any who are interested, I use Paint Shop Pro v7.04. It's an ancient program, but it does have the advantage that it will run under Linux using Wine. Which saves all the messing about trying to become used to something like The Gimp.

There I was thinking he was telling us about a new design of METALWORKING file.

Geoff – How disappointing

Out of curiosity could you post a jp2 on filebin.net Neil and post the link. I'm curious to see what I have can do with it.

You could try this one free for none commercial use

Maybe this one – just free

Also if you rename them .jpg or even .jpeg you may well find that they open in what you have. If this works try associating jp2 to what ever viewer you use – I assume windows does allow people to set associations,

Firefox or chrome then.

Neil,

For the sake of curiosity … would you please try posting a jp2 image into an album on this forum.

I'm sure I have done this in the past, but I can't find the image … so perhaps the forum software auto-converts them to jpg

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

I only have third party files and I don't want to use them in a way they weren't intended to be used.

Virtually no browsers will render JP2 anyway, people will just get a box with dots in unless they have an appropriate plugin.

Neil

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Fair enough, Neil

I've just tried it with one of mine, and the forum software would not upload it.

Strange … I was sure I had done one once before

P.S. … Given that you are in publishing; don't you have a colleague with a Mac? …  'Preview' handles this sort of thing very well.

They are about 150 miles away…
