However, nothing prevents you from changing the name and adding/changing the
extension, correct? You would do this prior to the SavePicture. You could
use a MsgBox to inform and/or ask the user about doing that.

Hopefully you understand that now. You seem to have not realized that you
could. You probably have learned more about how the Open and Save Common
Dialogs work. They don't actually open the file for you; they just help you
get the filenames.
