How do you convert a bitmap image into a jpeg format??

This is how I do it...In the program that the pic opens up in, click 'save as'...then there's a box at the bottom of the screen that will pop up that says 'Save As Type'....Scroll down to 'jpeg' click on it (so the box says Save astype and right next to is JPEG) and click save. That should do it. It sounds more complicated than it is.

Hope this helps
