Hi everyone,
Here’s my question: in Win XP, I loaded an RGB .JPG file in Photoshop 7, changed it to grayscale, and then saved it with a new name.
Then I tried to load the file into a picture box in Quark 5, but Quark incorrectly identified it as a PICT file.
On the other hand, after re-converting the file to .JPG again in ACDSee (my standard image viewer), Quark was fine with it. But obviously quality was lost.
I know I could (and should) just save the whole thing as a .TIF in the first place and avoid this problem, but even so, I’m curious … does Photoshop write a tag or ID to the .JPG file that confuses Quark? Can this be altered to avoid the error?
Thanks
BobO
