MS Photo Editor is very picky
I have W98SE and Office 97 (yeah, still do)
I have run into a number of image extensions that Photo Editor will not open. This includes some jpg's. In this particular case, my daughter's Sony digital camera's images are jpg but PE will not open them up. Can someone enlighten me as to why, and if there is anything that I can do about it? Adobe Elements did open them up, BTW. But, I like PE a lot for its simplicity. Also, is there anyway to increase the file size that PE is able to handle? Large files are rejected as too large. Thanks, LarryB |

Hi Larry,
MS Office's graphics filters don't handle 'progressive' JPEGs. (a different internal storage format). Are you referring to file size or graphics size x # of colors. There are some limitations in Photo Editor, first introduced as a Dr. Halo clone on Windows 3.1 You might want to take a look at http://www.irfanview.com for opening/resizing to something that Photo Editor can use. (Donationware for personal use). ======= "Larry B" wrote in message ... I have W98SE and Office 97 (yeah, still do) I have run into a number of image extensions that Photo Editor will not open.

Hi Bob, Actually, I am referring to both! (file size or graphics size x #
of colors). No way to "pump up" Photo Editor? Larry "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote in message ...
