If you download an image file that won't open, or is the wrong file type, or is displaying incorrectly etc, try opening it with irfanview. Once opened, save your image file. Irfanview is a free and powerful image viewer that fixes most image files.

It can also serve as a "space saver" without any noticeable loss of quality to the image.

I don't think it is Pam. But apparently you have a powerful editor on your Mac called Preview. Have you tried that?

Ah, and it ends here so we'll never know if Pam tried Preview, lol - I forgot about this software and didn't have it on my new PC. Now I do thanks to the link provided! :D
