JPEGs in Painter Classic
I have a copy of Painter Classic that came with my Wacom tablet and for some reason the program won't open my jpeg files.Every time I try to open a jpeg I get this error message:(JPEG Decoding error[-1] ).None of my other apps ( Photoshop, PhotoImpact etc.)are having this problem.I tried opening a tiff file and had no problem with that.

Painter is kinda a weird program. Its never been especially good at dealing with different file formats etc but it is surprising that its having issues with a JPEG. Open the JPEG in PS and save it as a TIFF so you dont lose quality. Then open the TIFF in painter.

I already understand that that I could convert the file to open it. I'm not looking for a workaround, I want to know what the problem is and how to fix it. I mean....JPEG is not a file format that it should be having problems with.
