"Unknown" jpeg file
Every week I send an e-mail update to members of my club (not a photo
club). As usual, I included a few jpegs in today's e-mail. My address is in the mailing list, and I was shocked to see that every jpeg had been converted to a much larger file titled "unknown". None of my software would open the images. I finally succeeded by adding a ".jpg" suffix to the file name, but that hardly helps the others. My main question is, why would this happen? I have literally sent thousands of jpegs over the years, and hundreds of these weekly updates, and afaik this is a first. Ideas? I'm using a Macintosh G4 with up-to-date software, afaik! Bob |

"Unknown" jpeg file
Further to my query, I don't know if it's pertinent or not, but the
images that turned into "unknown" files had been grabbed from a web site and manipulated somewhat in Photoshop, then saved for the web. (They aren't copyrighted images.)

(They aren't copyrighted images.) Initial question aside, that last bit is very probably incorrect, unless the sources _specifically_ stated that they were in the public domain. EVERYTHING considered artistic or intellectual property is copyrighted automatically, without any steps being necessary, by the original artist (writer, etc.) at the moment of its creation, unless specifically relinquished into public domain, and remains so for [$VariousPeriods] unless/until so relinquished. Registering a copyright is not necessary, although it does tend to add strength to any claim(s) of violation. Whether the copyright holder chooses to specifically announce or enforce said rights, or allows public use without relinquishing those rights, is another matter. If I post an original image of my own on a website, whether I put a copyright notice on that image (I still do), or on the page or site (I still do), is irrelevant to whether that image is still copyrighted - it is. As a matter of fact, by law even most _buildings_ built after 1993 are copyrighted, with the architect and/or builders automatically holding copyright, and taking photos of those buildings without the copyright holder's permission can be (and have been) construed as copyright violations. http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html Bob On Jan 24, 4:03 pm, " wrote: Every week I send an e-mail update to members of my club (not a photo club).
