Question

JPG file won't display in browser

Asked by: jglazer63

The following JPG file (link) won't display in IE (don't know about others).
http://ecsupply.dev.adconn.com/catalogimg/items/thumbs/NTC2300SP.JPG
Now when I open it in Paint Shop Pro it says that "the document's colors were converted to the working space".  Never seen that before.  Supposedly the embedded colors are "SWOP (Coated), 20%" instead of RGB.  I'm lost.  Anyhow I have a CD that has thousands of photos I need up use whereby about 10% of them have this problem.  The CD will be replaced time and again so I was hoping there was some sort of HTML/CSS trick to get this to display.  (I'm guessing probably not).

It works for me in Firefox 3, IE 8 (and in IE 7 compatibility mode), Google Chrome and Opera 9.6.  I also opened it in Photoshop and Windows Picture Viewer and it worked fine.  

The only peculiarity I see is it's set to 96 dpi.  72 dpi is ideal for web, though the image should still work no matter what the resolution.  For the most part, a JPEG is a JPEG.  Even if a color profile is embedded, it should still display in all applications.

For a trick to get this to stop.

If you know what files do this. And can get them into  1 folder on your computer,

Create a file with notepad and name it
a.bat
Rt Click on that file and
EDIT
Then on one line
REN *.jpg *.gif

Save the file to the folder with the corrupt jpg's and open it in that folder.

Make sure you have Back ups and no other good jpg are in that folder.

That will rename all jpg in that folder to gif's.

I really can't touch the files as there are too many of them.  They get shipped on a CD the client wants to simply plug into the PC.  Not all of them are .GIFs.

Sigh

Humm.. I'm thinking....


Did my comment shed some light on the reason for the error?

You wanted a html CSS trick..

In IE thier in an option in
Tools
Internet Options
Security tab
OPen files based on CONTENT not EXtention.
Enable that option.

Well I understand the issue but I still don't see a way of dealing with it for the world and for all files without touching each file.  I was looking for some sort of HTML/CSS trick not a browser trick.

 

by: selvolPosted on 2009-06-26 at 11:09:27ID: 24723459

Now that we established what the problem is.
Lets fix it.

//
What can -jglazer63- do to the files on the CD.
Can you edit them,
Remove them, replace them.?
Move them off the CD to your computer and then back to the CD?
What browser if any isincluded in the CD
to display the images on the CD?
Is the CD some sort of an EXE auto start w/ a GUI?
Please best describe the CD Folder LAYOUT.
Is this CD Finalized and will not be changed and a fix needs to be implimented? HARDest <--

I just need to get the best understanding so
we can get the best solution.

I know their are thousands of files..
Don't look at it like that...

I'll get you a solution and won't leave you stranded.
I just need to know the above.

I ca't do anything with the files because the client is the one receiving the CD.  They need to be able to just upload them.  I'll have to write some sort of graphics converted into the system to force-convert the files to .JPG.

Ok,
I think I have it.
Simple questions.

2 answers are all I need.

Is this catalog a webcatalog on a CD?

Most important
Are the CD's already made.
Or is this going to be th master<

Well, sorry to see you gave up on this before we started.

The best soultion I can see with out knowing much about the "CD" or website.

And this would most  likely solve the problem is to

jglazer63 you up to it today.?

Here is what would save the whole thing..

I so I believe...
And only if you can some how get to the files...

You have a /thumbs/ folder and /items/ folder

Take your images and copy them from the items folder into the thumbs folder.
Replace the ones that already exist in the thumbs folder,

Since the names of the item and thumbs are the same this should work.
and the images should work.

Now we would have the thumbs a little larger the normal.
But you would not have to go through and replace them 1 at a time.

In the web catalog...
The thunbs have an imarge width of "100" but no Height specified.
12ghosts Replace could add a "Height " specification to all you files fast.

12ghosts has replace several lines on a page on over 40,000 pages in about 3 miniutes..

I had no choice but to run a script that resaved each image as a proper .JPG file.  I don't see any way around this.  I am in contact with the provider to try to get them to correct the CD.

Thanks for the help anyhow.
