Not helpful to you, Guest, but perhaps you can be helpful to me. My first PC, a low end Dell, used the Picture It .mix format for photos. Back then I didn't know enough to realize formats mattered. Actually didn't know squat about formats or that they needed attention. All I knew was pic was saved and assumed that was all there was to it. When that 'puter was on the verge of dying and it's hard drive crashing I took it to a local shop and had them download the files onto a disk, only to find that when I attempted to upload the pics onto the new computer, it couldn't read the .mix format and I could not open the considerable number of excellent photos of my then magnificent garden and most of my child's first 10 years of life.

Went searching and learned that Microsoft had not supported the .mix format very long, it was not available anywhere, and neither was Picture It. As we are all wont to do, I have occasionally searched again to see if something had become available. A year or so ago found a download for Picture It was again available, though I don't think it was through Microsoft. I downloaded it, but it still would not .mix files. Can the Picture It program (I agree it was a good program) open .mix files, and if so, where did you get it?
