why does saving my jpg get saved as a dib?

(1/2) > >>

Rick:
Interesting question?

Boggin:
I Googled that but didn't see anything to explain it.

I'll ask jpm to see if he knows why.

Rick:
Happened when;

Shift print screen function; copy to mspaint
cropped the image etc...

then save as jpg, dib not even an option... ?
it saved as DIB?

Another classic function from ?

Boggin:
Well that gives Jim a bit more info to go on.

jpm:
Hmmm... OK. .dib is really a .bmp .

So at least we know that paint thinks it is actually an image.

I found this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/299953/you-may-be-unable-to-save-jpg-files-with-microsoft-paint-after-you-ins

I suspect that is the problem and an easy fix if need be.
