Questions tagged [images]

DO NOT USE THIS TAG! It has been retired. If you have a question about a disk image (a file that represents the contents and structure of a data disk), use [disk-image] or [iso-image] instead. If you have a question related to picture files, use a tag related to what you are doing with the images, such as [image-editing], [image-processing], or [image-conversion].
