Problems Launching JPG files in MS Photo Editor

[Sunni Johnson]

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm having problems launching a 1 MB JPG file in MS Photo
Editor. When trying to open it, I receive the following
error: "The image is too large (too many bytes)." I am
able to open the file in Paint or Windows picture & fax
viewer without any problems. Help would be greatly
appreciated on how I can get this file to open in MS
Photo Editor, or why it's won't open in MS Photo Editor.

Thanks,

Sunni Johnson

I don't know anything about MS Photo Editor. However, since you receive the
message that "The image is too large" you may want to resize it and then try
with a smaller file size.

Here are two options to resize the file down:

Image Resizing



A. To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing etc.



Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.

Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).

Click on Resize image on the opening menu.

A window will open, select the size you want.

New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) added.



The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on the file or if you see it, it may not work. If so,
do the following:

Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

and press the Enter key.

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.



Also, you can download a free batch converter from here to resize pictures
and edit photos:
