This is most likely because your computer can't read the extension that WC3 saves its screenshots as. Google ImageConverter Plus. It's easy to use once you set it up and it'll convert all of your pictures.

1. I wasn't joking. I seriously think you could be autistic.

Photoshop is pretty much the only editor we've really tried that works with targa images. IrfanView can look at them, save them as other formats, but when you create/edit targas with it, it fails.

Or you could?
Fucking lazy kid...

Yeah, it can.
I just edited Angel Arena's loading screen with GIMP.
So yes, it can be done.

What i do is just print screen then open paint and Ctrl+V and get the code, then close paint and im done. paint loads much faster than photoshop ;P and saves time.

Well yeah, you can use the fact that hitting Print Screen copies the image to the clipboard, and just paste it... But if you hit it in WC3, it automatically saves it as an image, in the Screenshots folder in WC3's install folder, named with the date and time.
