Kenny is correct, in fact I think DNG will be as big as jpg and tiff someday.

Hey all,
I have recently come accross this problem myself. I don't remember having either of the programs you discussed to create or edit these files, however I now have a few images of old family members I am desperate to convert. I have tried the 17 pages of suggestions and the closest I have gotten was with Polyview, however the quality was bad and there where pink lines and box's through the image.
If anyone is prepared to convert a few files for me I would be extreemly greatful.
Regards

I would be happy to convert your mix files. I happen to still have PhotoDraw and it converts beautifully to many formats. What would you like?

I have been reading this .mix topic. Tried several things, but still running into issues.
Yes my mix files open with PolyView, but not all of the file content is there, meaning editing has been done on the images and do not show up on polyview,
Can anyone help please.
thanks.

I had to jump into this. Who dragged this monster out of the closet?
How long has this website been running? Was this the inaguaral post?
I see why this post keeps growing. I googled '.mix' this is one of three results, and the other two weren't any good.
I also tried a file extension service that is supposed to tell you what file extensions go to what programs. They say .mix is a audio file for a computer game.
I hope that adobe never kills .psd's I will scream vert loud for a very long time.
I wasn't able to find anymore information, but I did email microsoft.

Terry,
Could you convert mine? If so, what is the best way to get them to you. I have tried everything on the site and nothing works except for the Polyview program, which still doesn't show the image that clear.
Thanks,
rd

Hi,
You can email me your .mix files at [email protected] and I'll send them back as converted to what file type you choose. If you have a high number of files, I'd ask you to zip them or break them into batches and send multiple messages.
Thanks
Terry

The good news (or bad news?) is that Microsoft are bringing out Windows media photo format, a "new" image format, lets hope it lasts longer than .MIX shall we! Wayne

I have several logos created in the photodraw 2 .mix format. I'm guessing that there is no other program that will actually let me EDIT those files, eh? Any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!!

I have read much of this thread and I am at a loss. I'm not very computer savvy, but I've tried most of what has been suggested and nothing has worked. I downloaded VueScan, that didn't work, Inserting it into Word, Powerpoint, Excel. None of it worked. I currently have Microsoft Picture It! Express 9. It wont open my .mix files. My old computer has many .mix files on it that I can't open. I tried e-mailing them to my new computer and it wont open them either. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. E-mail me at [email protected] if you can help. I don't know what else to try and I don't want to lose these pictures.
Thanks! Abigail

I had over 200 mix photos to convert - OUCH!
I am running Windows Vista - Office 2003 - previous tips didn't work - but this did:
Go to polyview.com
download PolyView 4.35 Setup Program (polyview4.35.exe) (Free to try - converted all of my photos for free!)
Once installed go to File - Format Conversions
change Files of Type to "All Files" (it defaults to "Most Images" which will not show your mix files)
Select all mix pictures - click add
Once all pictures are added then click on continue
Select on the right side (where it says destination folder) where you want to save the photos and change the destination format to either jpeg or gif
The click on start - and you are set!!
Woohoo!

Hello, all! Thank you, Google, for leading me here..and thanks to everyone else for their sound advice. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me - even after downloading the converter. I still receive an error message and am at my wits end! To top it off, I tried to upload the thing and it wouldn't take (maybe because of my dial-up connection?) In any case, if there is ANYONE out there still around to lend me a hand, please hit me up at
[email protected]
I'll give a cookie to whoever can convert my .mix file to a high quality jpeg!
pls&thx

I was successful in converting the .mix files using MS Word 2000 on a Windows Vista Premium platform. As another member has already described, you insert the .mix file into MS Word and then save the document as a web page. This automatically creates another sub-directory with the .mix file converted into both a .jpg and a .png file. You can now copy these new files into any location desired. Hope this helps, it took me a while to stumble onto a tip that actually worked!

Just so everyone has a clue about these files .mix (Microsoft Image Exchange)
There were 4 versions of PictureIt and 2 versions of PhotoDraw with several Updates on the versions. The last was I believe PhotoDraw 2000 ver 2.0.0.1129 copyright (c) 1995-1999
The files were created using an object oriented design package so they could essentially use vector objects like text and shapes that would be sharp at any size or resolution and it could combine these with bitmaps. But thats where the layering came in. All objects that were "joined" were on separate layers from back to front. Some programs only convert the background layer. But if thats all you have voila you have a picture. The last version of PD2000 converted any and all mix files from all versions of PD and PI. There are "other" mix files out there that are NOT Microsoft and will not open with any version. There are also some files that have been corrupted and while they are MS are not usable by any program.
-------------------------
On average, all of us are dumber than some of us.

I have converted about 20-30 .mix files for people from this forum/thread and with my version of Photodraw, have had only one that did not convert to jpg or tif. Keep sending them to me and I'll keep on converting!!
