Hi Lloyd, Does this message happen only for this precise folder and you don't get it in other folders with JPG images? Did you try creating another source folder ? Are you trying to write the new images to the same folder as the old images (in other words, over-write the old images)? Are you sure you haven't somehow (accidentally?) made these images write-only? Are you sure you have permission to write to this folder? What I would suggest you try is: 1. Create an New Folder on the desktop, give it a short name (not a long name) 2. Duplicate the images and place them in the New Folder on the Desktop. 3. Create another folder on the Desktop also with a fairly short name 4. Open PSE 5. Go through the "Process Multiply Files” again. Let me know if the Conversion Process now works please.
