Elaine- There was a long-running thread about this recently. From your symptoms my guess is that the jpg image has an unmatched end-of-line character in it. This is something that graphics programs are adept at dealing with but The Bat can't handle. There's no real "fix" for it, as the image itself is fine, it's just a problem with TB's display mechanism. I filed a bug report on this and hopefully it will be fixed up in an upcoming version.
