Since others have already pointed out the difference in depth, I won't
kick that dead horse.
But I am confused by the statement "while the GIF, which displays
properly, is 12 meg."
Images that compress well with JPEG are seldom good candidates for GIF,
and vice versa. Color fidelity is typically not maintained by JPEG,
while GIF is lossless, as long as your source image is <= 256 colors.
What kind of images are you using?

Subject: Re: Why Does IE 5.0 For The Mac Crop Wide Images?
Could it be the way IE 5 interprets specific image formats? If the
image,
(3744 pixels wide x 3384 pixels high), is a JPG, it gets cropped. If it
is a
GIF it displays without a problem.
What's even more puzzling is the fact that the JPG file is approximately
3
meg, while the GIF, which displays properly, is 12 meg.
Since IE 5 can display a wide GIF, I was wondering if there is any way
to
force it, modify it, or whatever, to also display a wide JPG?
If the GIF files weren't so large, we would call it a day and use them
instead of JPGs. However, we have to maintain a certain level of image
clarity, and JPGs can do that without getting too huge in file size.
