Uploader Coughing on CS 3 JPG's on MAC

wickenden

I'm using an iMac Intel Core Duo machine with 2 gigs of memory and Photoshop CS 3 beta to create my images out of raw Nikon D200 files. My typical workflow includes editing in 16 bit to do selective sharpening after raw processing for noise and levels. For some reason, unless I save files as jpg's twice, the standard uploader coughs on them. I don't suspect smugmug, because frankly I see the same thing in Flickr. edit: of course I change the mode to 8 bit and flatten my sharpening layers before saving.

My question is have any of you seen this sort of thing? The uploader says it's not a valid file, but opening it and resaving it always does the trick. Any insights?

Don,

The files must be .jpgs. Must be under 8mb for std and power accounts, and under 16mb for pro accounts. Under 48megapixels for all accounts.

Are your files all within these specs?

Also-- CS3 is VERY much a beta at this point. I love it, but it won't properly resize (it pixelates-- Adobe has documented this) and there are numerous issues with Bridge that I've seen. But... the CS3 ACR sure beats the pants off the production version!

Anyway, you might check Adobe's CS3 bug documentation to see if your issue is listed.

Yeah, they're all jpgs, always under 16 (pro account I have). My images are from a d200, 10.2 megapixels, what does "under 48 megapixels" mean?

The odd thing here is that when I resave the image, it works.

I can and will stage the files that don't work on a webserver I have and let you try it if you are interested.

File dimensions. 9000px by 6000px would be 54megapixels. You're fine here.

It's the file extension, I'm sure - check your CS3 workflow?

Man you're good!

YES! You are correct, thanks. I am not sure what I'm doing, but I will pay strict attention this morning as I work through my process.

I'm amazed that they seem to be going straight from a pretty weak beta to production, by all accounts. But, I love the changes to bridge. One thing I wish they would give me is a way of viewing all the images below a certain folder without having to navigate (perhaps a library of thumbnails pointing toward the directories). I have to use iPhoto to find anything.
