Could the higher DPI just be hitting the 2880 pixel limit more easily? From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Hastings Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 7:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] flex not displaying JPEG images

Then add thumbnails, etc until it dies? sort of. we thought we had id-ed 3 things different from the other working images: - 150 DPI - ICC Profile - embedded thumbnails a kind soul w/photoshop expertise stripped out the ICC Profile (and double checked that these images were indeed 8 bits/channel) as well as reducing the DPI to 72 (not exactly sure about that as the EXIF data still says 150DPI but the image's properties says 72DPI). didn't help. we used cfimage to convert to PNG then back again to JPEG which looked liked it croaked the thumbnail (not 100% sure) & reduced the DPI to 96. flex still hung when we loaded the roundtripped JPEG images. tried the same thing w/fireworks, no joy. converting to PNG seems to be the only way to display these images. created a 150DPI PEG image in fireworks & it too killed flex (can't tell if it also embedded a thumbnail). ditto for a 96 DPI image. based on this maybe it's an embedded thumbnail (if fireworks does indeed embed them) as the DPI seemed to have no effect. though we thought the JPEG-->PNG-->JPEG round trip w/cfimage should have lost those??? btw the client is using a 3.0 SDK compiled version while we're running 3.1, no difference. both are running 9.x flash players. thanks.
