    You can use GIMP to open them or you can use FRAPS to make screenshots (in bmp.format). Both programs are free of use.

    ACDSee or Photoshop can read TGA. Open screenshots with 1 of these software and save as JPG or other format.

    I suggest using FRAPS. With the unregistered (free) versione the screens are .bmp, quite heavy in size, but you can easily shif them manually into .jpg

    You can also make videos, but their size is astonishing.
    It's only after you have lost everything, that you are free to do anything.

    Use Fraps man. Xfire doesnt detect TATW or SS, so Im forced to use fraps to take the screens for them.

    GIMP and so on are for hard image editing. If you need simply open tga files and crop/change gamma/add effects use IrfanView - it's free and easy.
