I'm working on a Sidebar Gadget and cannot get my JPEGs to show up (PNGs work). When I try to open the file by itself in IE8 it doesn't work. Firefox, of course, can open it fine.
JPEG Details:
Dimensions: 1080X900 180 dpi Bit depth 24 Color representation: uncalibrated
I've found some things talking about the images being compressed incorrectly (?) but I haven't been able to get it working...
Any clues?
IE8 drops support for CMYK JPEG and renders them as the infamous red X without so much as a warning.
If you have ImageMagick:
identify -verbose image.jpg
will show you the image colorspace. If it's CMYK, you can convert to RGB with:
convert broken.jpg -colorspace RGB fixed.jpg
If you need to do CMYK to RGB conversion on a whole batch of JPEG-images, this command may be helpful to you:
for i in *.jpg; do convert "$i" -colorspace RGB "$i"; done
PS: If you'd like to see what is going on, just add -verbose:
for i in *.jpg; do convert "$i" -colorspace RGB -verbose "$i"; done
