Re: Imaging

Thanks Brian,

Yes, I could give it to him in any number of formats, but *he* only "uses"
.jpgs and is blissfully ignorant of anything to do with graphics, except to
blow them up to pixilated hell and back and just generally make a mess of
them LOL.

However, I was told this afternoon, by someone more knowledgeable than
myself (not hard to find), that it's just simply a matter of Imaging not
liking the compression algorithm of the .jpgs that are produced in PhotoImpact.

I imagine that there is more than one graphics program that it doesn't like
but I just think that I'm the first one that has caused this guy a hiccup
and he seemed to get some small pleasure out of telling me my .jpgs stink LOL.

Oh well...that's life.
