| | | Re: Jan 08 Contest Discussion I cannot download the image... There is a usage restriction.
>>>Standard restrictions apply and written permission is needed from ekartal before using the photo for any work.<<<
Also, when I try to copy the image from the one displayed in the forum, I can't open it in Photoshop becaue a get an "invalid JPEG marker, file may be truncated" notice. |

| | | Re: Jan 08 Contest Discussion It appears the restriction has changed since I downloaded the image or I just grabbed the wrong image. I am uploading a new image.

| | | Re: Jan 08 Contest Discussion Oops still a prob with the new image. I managed to drag it to a temp folder but get the same truncated message swampy does. Also its size in the temp folder is 11kb not 509kb.
Though appears full size in Firefox.

| | | Re: Jan 08 Contest Discussion I resaved the file using Save For Web...perhaps this will make it more browser friendly. |

Fun! I think I'll try again later.
