I've seen this issue with other Java based image editors. This comes mostly from Photoshop CS, and usually from a Mac. There is an option to embed a color profile into your jpgs on export. If you do this, then for some odd reason java can't properly read the image.
I've never found a java based solution to the problem. I usually have to open the images in Photoshop and resave them without the embedded color profile. -- Alan Rother Macromedia Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237538 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
