  • help! why do i get an error message?

    Posted by Sophie Watson on January 3, 2006 at 2:24 am

    somebody please help my deadline is tomorrow and i suddenly run into weird problem!

    I can’t view certain jpegs in netscape.
    I can:
    Open them in Photoshop
    See them as thumbnails in the “My documents” folder
    See them in the windows fax/pictures viewer as previews

    This is a HUGE problem as i know i can’t successfully send them by email (Deadline tomorrow so very very stressed)

    I checked my sent box but the message in netscape is:
    “The image “file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Washable%20Squid/Desktop/MONDAy%20test2.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.”

    The file was originally two or three layers.
    Top: fill colour using the filter “color”.
    Middle= Black outlines
    Bottom= white bg

    It looks fine in photoshop even now. i dont understand!
    Have you ever experienced this thing where certain filters don’t work or something?
    Or if one layer is not 100 opaque, will it cause problems?
    Or another reason?

    The weird thing is it is modified from a file i made yesterday which was: Fine viewed in netscape
    Sent by email and viewed without a problem by the receiver.

    Any clues GRATEFULLY received!
    i don’t think i’ll be able to sleep, just panicking and confused!

    Thank you to everybody who reads this and thank you even more if you can help me out!

    i mean i changed it to grayscale and netscape displayed it.
    it displayed it in RGB also.
    BUt it refuses to display CYMK file for one image.
    Yet the CMYK image for another file is fine!
