pcx files

One of my clients sent me some large screen captures in pcx format [ugh]...

I've tried just about everything to resize it from 14" to about 4" [it's for a web-based elearning piece so it needs to be clear and a small size...]

I've even tried re-capturing it, pasting it into pagemaker, cropping and resizing, exporting [as well as converting it to pdf and opening it in photoshop...]

I'm desparate...any help would be greatly appreciated...

All versions of Photoshop can open/edit .PCX image files. So I'm not sure how you can have a problem with it.

Make sure that the image is converted to the RGB color space (if it isn't already) by going to Image>mode>RGB color on the top menu. Then resize it using the image size function. That's all I can really think of if you're having image resizing issues with that image format.

If that doesn't work for you, save it as a different format, particularly a standard Photoshop .PSD or TIFF and then attempt to resize.
