Post by SantaoIs there a plug-in that opens file extension mix from Photo Draw in
Windows Vista x64?
===================================
Long answer...good luck...
The Microsoft .mix format has been obsolete
for many years...I doubt that any plug-ins will
be made available.
AFAIK...the only software that is fully compatible
with a PhotoDraw .mix file...is PhotoDraw.
The best bet...would be to use PhotoDraw on
an older system to convert the files to a more
universal image format. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.
And then import the converted files onto your
Vista 64-bit machine.
FWIW...the following newsgroup may be worth
a look. Maybe someone there has devised a
way to open and edit PhotoDraw .mix files.

The following software will allow MS Picture It!
.mix files to be converted to JPEG and other
image formats. I'm not positive that it will work
for PhotoDraw .mix files nor am I certain that it
will run on Vista 64-bit . However... I'll post the
instructions if you would like to give it a try.
The evaluation version of PolyView may allow
you to batch reformat your .mix files.
You can download an evaluation copy at the
following link:
PolyView
www.polybytes.com
(Go to...Downloads / PolyView 4.41 Setup
Program)
When you open PolyView...go to...
File / Format Conversions...
Browse to the folder your .mix files are
saved in and open the drop window and
choose "All Files".
Left click the "Add All" button.
Left click the "Continue" button...
Choose your "Destination Format" JPEG
Choose your JPEG quality...100
Choose a "Destination Folder"...
Left click the "Start" button.
Good Luck...and let us know if you find a solution.
