Salvage Photoworks® Photos in Classic

I am trying to salvage photos burned to CD in the late 90s by a proprietary software, made for Mac & PC, called Photoworks® by Seattle Film Works (now just called Photoworks).

I can open the photos from within Classic with the ancient Photoworks app, but with no way to export them for use in current apps.  Also, the app regularly locks up giving "error #19."

Is a png screen snap the only option?

(PowerMac G5 and 17" MacBook Pro both running 10.4.8.)

TimOden,

Here's what you need:

That's from Seattle Film Works, it's a list of software to recover their proprietary image type. For PCs, I highly recommend IrfanView.

Cheers,

Dear lherrou,

Thanks for replying. Yes, that's the link that provides the ancient  Photoworks app I mentioned in my post, which only runs in Classic.  So it's not a solution since I'm stuck with the problem I posted: How to export an image I can see in Photoworks in Classic to something usable in OS X.

Thanks
Tim

Dear lherrou,

Again, thanks for the reply.  Thanks to you there's hope!  I had tried those two links; the lemkesoft.com link is dead and the other was unusable software.  But I tried a revised lemkesoft URL, realized it's GraphicConverter and tried it.  It appears to be working!

MANY MANY THANKS.
