Can't open jpg

I have a .jpg file that I can open in Windows, and in Lion (10.7.5) Preview but won't open in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) Preview.  I can open it in Gimp, and save it as a .jpg with another name.  That file is about half the size as the original, and will open with Preview.
If I look at the original file with EXIF Viewer, it again comes up blank; the file passed through Gimp has the image only, no EXIF data.
Can any one help me to diagnose why this file won't open in Mountain Lion Preview?  Has Preview changed?  Is theere a way I can get infor about the file to try to see what's preventing it from opening?
TIA
Walt

...but if I go back to Classic View I can open the.
That's it for me....I'm sticking with Classic View....waste of programming effort on that new version.  I shouldn't be released unless it's 100% operable and thoroughly debugged.

  • Error message: "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg files"

    I'm using DW 8, and I have installed the 8.0.2 update. I'm
    having trouble inserting certain JPG images into a site. I get an
    error message pop-up that states "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg
    files". It will allow me to insert some jpg files, but not all of
    them. I've tried drag & drop and going through the Insert menu.
    The files are not large at all. Doesn't appear to be any problem
    with png's or gif's. It's incredibly frustrating. Anyone have any
    suggestions? TIA.

    > why was i taught that all my web images need
    > to be in 72dpi if it doesn't really matter?
    most people suggest 72 because it was an old standard with
    the early
    macintosh DTP programs. For web use it's easier to
    standardize on it because
    when you make an image, you have to put ~some~ number in the
    resolution box
    and it might as well be 72 as any other number. It simplifies
    moving image
    files around in different applications if they are all the
    same resolution.
    For display in a browser, these will all have the same file
    size and display
    size in a web page:
    600x600 pixels at 1dpi
    600x600 pixels at 72dpi
    600x600 pixels at 6000dpi
    It's when they are used in other applications or when a
    direct url like
    /photos/1.jpg is printed out that they may display in the
    resolution, not
    the pixel dimension.
    I came across a page once where the designer always saved his
    images with a
    resolution of 6000 dpi or some other odd number because he
    thought that if
    people dragged the image off the page to save it- most of
    them wouldn't be
    able to resize it. or some other idiot reason maybe.

  • I can't open attachments on my iPad 2.  I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update.  I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. 
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Why can't open jpg or some attachments on macbook

    why can't open jpg or some attachments on macbook

    Don't have a clue!  You did not provide any info other than you are using a MBP.
    Which OS are you using?
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • Can not open jpg files

    Can not open jpg files.
    They works on Windows
    Whats the problem?

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Can't open JPGs into ACR from Bridge - Windows XP

    I was using CS3 on a Windows XP Machine, just installed the latest updates from adobe (to 2.0.0.10 I believe) and can no longer open JPGs in Camera Raw by hitting CTRL-R. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the adobe suite, (back to 2.0.0.95 Bridge and 4.0 ACR)but that didn't help. Now, it seems that some jpgs will open into ACR and some won't. I can't find any differences in these files. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I want the option of opening in raw easily, would rather avoid having to go and check that preference box to open all images in raw every time I want to do so. Thanks!

    Bridge should be version 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw newest release is 4.3.
    Unfortunately your bound to set prefs to open jpegs in RAW, I put the ability of opening jpeg and tiff as a choice in ACR or directly in PSCS as a feature request. maybe you will support this, the more people that want it the better it would be :-)

  • Can't open jpg, preview.app does nothing

    Hi,
    I am attempting to troubleshoot a minimac 10.4.10
    I cannot open .jpg with preview.app (or tiff/gif ect.), which i assume is the default pic viewer.
    when d-clicking on a jpg (whether downloaded or uploaded from a camera) the picture will not open.
    the only thing it does is the very brief animation quick flash from icon to full screen like it will open except it doesn't.
    i opened the task manager (or whatever its called in apple) and preview.app is not running.
    it is only possible to view a pic with firefox, quicktime, or safari.
    HELP! i have basic to moderate user knowledge of mac

    thanks for the responses!
    i did a 'get info' on a pic and it does show the preview correctly (no thumnails anywhere is another problems as well)
    it already has preview.app listed as the default app. i selected a different program and did a open with, and then switched the default back to preview.app and same problem.
    *preview.app will not open period*. launching it by itself does nothing. i went to the applications folder and tried launching it from there and nothing. *It is still installed*. I did a 'get info' on it and it shows March 07 as the last time its been launched (approximate time of update to 10.4.10)
    so i'm confident the problem is from the app not from the jpg files. It just won't launch.
    is there anyway to reinstall it or something? uninstall/reinstall? dunno how to do this...

  • I can't open jpgs created in Jaguar on my new MacBook Pro

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and now I am having proplems opening my clients jpg files (created on a G3 using Photoshop 5.5 in Jaguar).
    Some open fine, some just flash and disapear when I click on the folders containing them, so I can't even open the folders they are in. I tried to use PhotoShop CS3 to open the files, but no luck. They can't even be opened in the finder.
    I AM able to open the files on my old G4 with Photoshop CS2 with no problems. It seems to be a OS 10.49 problem or MacBook Pro problem instead of Photoshop because they are not opening in the finder either. I tried resaving the files in PhotoShop CS2 (on my G4) and burning them to a CD to transfer them to the MacBook Pro. Still didn't work.
    These files are part of a web job I need to finish soon. I've been braging about how cool my MacBook Pro and the new CS3Dreamweaver is. Do I have to eat my words and go back to using my slow G4?.

    Me thinks you have tried to connect to a shortcut folder and not a genuine folder.
    Note Mac OS X in Mac OS X 10.4 has 3 popular folder shortcut locations:
    The leftmost column of the Finder window.
    The horizontal toolbar on the top of the Finder window
    The translucent bar which can be anchored on the side or bottom of the screen known as the Dock. These are not true folder locations, but only locations for shortcuts. When you click on a folder for a volume that is not mounted, or is a folder which was deleted it will behave in this fashion. Often if you click on it the right fashion, it will change to a question mark.
    In addition if it is an alias to an existing folder that has no contents, it will behave this way from the three shortcut locations.
    If you right click instead of the left click a folder, it may think you want to do something to the folder which you can't do. Make sure your mouse button functions properly as a Primary button on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse.
    Also make sure Universal Access is not turned on as it too can cause funny behavior in the mouse click actions, in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access.

  • Can't Open JPG images in CS4

    I reformated my computer a few days ago, and I have not had time to install all the programs I have used.
    My digital camera is Kodak and it came with the software that I could edit my pictures.   However, I never use it for editting, for I use photoshop.  I decided not to install the Kodak software, but just use USB to transfer digital pictures to the computer.  When I open the USB drive, the pictures are transferred and ca be viewed in Windows image viewer.  The file names are short like 00001, 00002, something like that.    However, when I attempt to open these pictures taken from the digital camera in photoshop, the file names become long with brackets.  The photoshop says that the files are not in the right format, so they cannot be opened.
    Same thing with the pictures taken from my new cell phone.  The phone takes picture in jpg only format.  When I connect the USB to transfer the pictures to the computer, I can view the pictures in Windows images.  The file name is preset to "image001, image002, and etc."  However, when I open the photoshop CS4 and then attempt to open the same pictures, the file names become very long with brackets.  Photoshop says that the pictures cannot be open with their formats.
    What can I do to open picture files taken from my digital camera and phone in photoshop directly?
    Thanks

    Something you installed is trying to translate the image format and alter the files.
    You'll have to track down what you did install that could be doing something that evil.

  • Can't open jpg in Photoshop

    hi, im building an indd file and can attach jpg files with no problem, but when I try to open these jpg files in photoshop to check them (size, resolution, etc) it says 'invalid/unknown jpeg marker', what gives? if indesign can read them does that mean that theyre ok? these jpgs were sent to me. Im working on CS3 on a Mac
    thanks!

    That error message indicates the file is corrupted.

    Not necessarily.  You may be looking at preeview built by InDesign.

  • Can't open JPG from General Data

    Hi experts,
    I have the following issue.
    In cutomizing at "Define workstation application" the Application is set as
    %VIEWER-CONTROL% %SAPPROVIS%.
    When I am at Display Document "General Data" nothing happens by using the "Display" button at the JPG.
    But at "Original Processing" the JPG is shown in the WebUI with the VEViewer.
    Any idea to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Pascal

    Hi Christoph,
    In the SAP GUI it is also working.
    When I go to CV03N and open the document I can choose at "Document Data" -> "Display Original".
    Then it jumps to the "Originals" mask and shows me the JPG in the GUI.
    Is it possible that the "General Data" in WebUI is not made for an integrated view because in "Original Processing" everything works fine?
    Regards,
    Pascal
