Hi Marilyn, searching at http://kresch.com/exts/ext.htm here is the result. You may have to have that program installed to view your file. Brad Loomis You searched for file extension: .max * MAX program source code * * * PR: Kinetix 3D-Studio * * * Scanned image Program: VISIONEER * I was sent a picture with a .max extension. I tried to view it using Irfranview and Paint Shop Pro neither of which recognizes the format. Can anyone tell me what viewer would recognize this format and how I would view it.
