Of course my CMYK images didn't show up in IE or Chrome. Of course they did show up in FF and Safari and Opera. Despite my previously directed anger towards IE and Chrome - if FF, Safari and Opera actually followed standard, I would have discovered the CMYK issue 3 days ago. Instead I blamed IE and Chrome who for once, were right in this case. CMYK is for printed and a four color press. RGB is for the web and screen. Allowing a CMYK image to appear like Opera, FF and Safari does a disservice to the entire web design and user community. It lowers the techinical standards of us Web Designers. Arghh.. Oh well. Thanks for letting me rant a bit on your blog. But more importantly, thanks for having it up to find. -DK 3 days, 2 sleepless nights and the problem was the images!!

Found this page through Goog and hey presto - resaved it as RGB in Photoshop and bam, we're cooking with gas! Thank you.

CMYK is not a valid color scheme for a jpg file. The JPEG/JFIF file specifications never included CMYK, just RGB. This is an Adobe problem for allowing their users to save files in this bogus non-standard format in the first place. The error message is correct. CMYK is not a valid color scheme for a jpg file.

Programmers also have to be trained to use specific error messages and to always report an error, outputting any error they have access to. FYI, Safari 3.1 displays these types of jpegs fine.

I read your blog regularly, but today I was searching for the solution to this exact problem through Google and you were # 10 for - convert read only .jpeg files. Best, David Matt,

Developers should continue to provide simple, understandable error messages as Microsoft and Mozilla have in this case. Below this in much smaller type they should display an error <strong>number</strong> which is much more tidy and unique for googling... “CMYK”, “RGB” or “JPG” means nothing to an average user of a web browser.

I just went through the same issue with my company in October. If you're interested, here's the article I posted along with everyone's comments http://www.followsteph.com/2006/10/19/landlordmaxs-most-challenging-bug/ Another interesting tidbit, this very same issue is present in the Java Runtime. We had a few alternatives on how to solve this issue, and if you're interested, here's the solution we ended up with at the end: http://www.followsteph.com/2006/10/22/business-versus-technical-solutions/ Regards, Steph Hi Matt,
