Same "unable to import file" question, but solution did not work for me....

I receive an error message as well and decreasing the size of the photo does not help.
I scanned in images using the canoscan software. I can open the image in preview. The original file is about 4BM. I've save as a smaller 1MB file in Photoshop elements.
I am still unable to import the image into iPhoto.
Any thoughts? Again, the picture looks fine in Preview.

I'm glad you got it to work.
FYI:
If you like editing in Photoshop Elements and would like iPhoto to link your edited version to the original, you can set PE as your external editor in iPhoto's Preferences. Then when you double-click in iPhoto, your pix will open in PE. If you do a straight Save, the edit will appear as the thumbnail in iPhoto. If you do a Save As or rename the file (including changing the file extension) you still have to Save As to the desktop and Import to iPhoto as a new Original. To edit in iPhoto with PE set as your External Editor, simply click on the Full-Screen Edit icon near the Key words icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
