This weirdness happened again today and I’m stumped! I saved a Photoshop file (a client logo) as a JPEG file (size 1.2 MB). When I attached the JPEG to my email message to send it to the client it appeared in my mail message as a negative image (black background instead of white combined blue and green weirdness where normal colors should appear.)
I thought it may just be my Mail app so I emailed the jpeg to myself to see what would happen. Sure enough, when the jpeg came back to me it showed up as a negative image. I dragged the jpeg to my desktop and it opened up in Photoshop with normal colors. Trying the same thing with the same artwork in TIFF and EPS formats revealed no problems.
The question is, is there something wrong with the jpeg that causes it to show up as a negative? Or is there something in my email application settings that causes this? (I normally use Apple’s Mail app.) This has happened before on rare occassions with other jpeg files created in Photoshop. I use Adobe CS2 on a loaded G5 Tower with 10.4.8.
