| Jafo, it is indeed a JPEG image... Too bad I can't show you a screen shot of what I see when I put my mouse over the icon, it says: Type: JPEG Image Size: 900 K |
Meowy...
No it ain't.
The way I checked was in 'quickview' it showed as an image [I could see it]...so 'assumed' it really was a jpg....but quickview simply recognised it as an image.
It failed to load into PSP6...as its error was 'incorrect file format'.
I manually changed the suffix to 'bmp' [the hint was the file size] and it loaded correctly into PSP.
I saved-as 'jpg' and got a correctly small file size. [even with minimal compression for quality].
THAT image I uploaded and without problem/failure.
Try it yourself...rename to bmp....edit in graphic proggy...save-as jpg....see what happens.
Mouse-over will only 'read' the suffix...which says 'jpg'.
You can name a doc or a txt or anything something else but it won't change what it is.
Don't compare this with 'wba' wsz' 'lsz' 'bootskin', etc....they are ALL genuine renamed 'zip'.....their relevant proggies are coded to recognise them as zips intended for them and not for another proggy....that's all.
Image formats of which there are hundreds are not renamed anythings...they are each different ways of making a picture.....like a book and a film are different ways of telling a story. You cannot call a book a film and watch it on television.....it'll still be a book....paper and ink and stuff...
