Well, I have a 125K jpeg but can't read it. Am I the only one?

Nope - still no see. I can't see any header on the file. Tried PSPro
and Irfanview amongst others.

I can't see your images. Trying to open them in Irfan View, I get this
message:

'Can't read the header. Unknown type format'

Got it now. Makes my eyes water but must print that one.

Broke my rule against anything over 200K but just had to go for it!
Warning to others - put your dark glasses on :-)

Oooooucccchhhhh.  That was 400K+ way too big. 

Can you tell us what method you're using to save the images, and then
someone can help you. 

It'd be a good idea to go and delet/cancel the messages of those two
posts where the image didn't work.  And probably not a bad idea to 
cancel this 400K version too, server space is limited. 

When you've sorted the JPG problem out then you can repost the image so 
that it can live here permanantly for all to see, because it's quite  a
unique image.

Okay, how do I go about canceling the posts?  I've never had to do it
before, so I am in unknown territory here.

Cheers!

Okay, I think I have it worked out.  I will wait until I see the other
messages gone before reposting a smaller version to the newsgroup.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I plugged the monitor
into the windows mahcine to see how it was done, and ended up
downloading twoo weeks worth of messages before I could use the
machine for anything else:-(

Yes you've cancelled the messages, I can't see them atall now.

Good luck with the jpeg conversion, I'd recomend IrfanView from
http://www.irfanview.com/ it's free and most people swear by it
for image file conversion in Windows.


PS: sorry about the private mail Chip, (I still haven't got the
hang of Otlook Express).  Reposted here for refference.

I found a bug in my standard art program, "Iphoto Plus"- it came with the
scanner and I have been using it to do conversions with pretty good results but
for some reason it blew up on this one image at 800x600 resolution.  It would
write a mystery file that had the right name and type, and was about the right
size- 120K- but was not able to be read.  It will encode any other image I have
tried, and at any resolution, but this one kills it.  Must be that it is an art
critic.
    Strange stuff.  I resorted to a different program and the same image came
out as 145K but it works properly.  Here it is, at long last.

Cheers!
