Uploading existing images.........

[Ubichan]

I suddenly cannot upload existing images. I get the non-image X instead.

Can somebody please help? I'm a total newcomer to Frontpage and I have no
idea why out of 44 images I have processed through Photoshop (to be the same
size), five (the first five) uploaded without a problem. Then, suddenly I
just got these 'X' images.
What do I have to do to correct this? They all are in the same folder.
Thanks!

Hi Ubichan,

How did you upload the images? Did you first have the images in a folder
inside of your local web...and then publish to the server? Are there any
spaces in the image file names? If so that can cause a problem.

If you can give us a URL to where you see the red-x someone might be able to
help more.

Did you save the images as RGB or CMYK. CMYK images will not display in IE.

More suggestions for the OP (I don't see the original posting in this group
to reply to - using windows live mail) :

Are you trying to display *Photoshop* images direct in the browser (this
won't work).

You need to save the images - export from PS as *.jpg or *.png. Make sure
they are "RGB" not "CYMK" colour format when you export/save as JPG or PNG.
CYMK is (generally) for print publications, where RGB is the most common for
online since that's the colour format supported by monitors.

Other suggestion - did you inadvertently upload them as "Ascii" rather than
"binary" format (if using 3rd party FTP utility) or are you using FP to
publish, in which case it chooses automatically the format of the files.
With FTP progs you can generally choose "ASCII", "BINARY" or "AUTO" but for
"auto" you need to add a list of file extensions that are "binary" (i.e.
anything that's not plain text) format like jpg, png, gif, etc

Also, if you load to a Linux server, filenames are case sensitive e.g.
"FILEname,jpg" is not the same as "Filename.jpg" or "filename.JPG". If you
work with all lowercase filenames you should avoid this problem.
