Help , Image format not supported?

Expand Post »
Alright I made some banners in Photoshop and saved them as gifs on a different computer, then copied them to a flash drive. I then copied them to my computer and theres is no preview and when i tried opening it in paint it says files curropted or format not sopported. I tried a different format like jpeg too.. I just dont get why this is happening. I apreciate all the help that you guys can offer.

Re: Help , Image format not supported?

I've never encountered that before. Does the flash drive have problems with any other types of files?

Two possibilities:

- You didn't use the proper procedure to eject the flash drive when you put the images on it.

- The flash drive is designed for a Vista computer, and the other computer is XP or earlier.

Re: Help , Image format not supported?

i got another idea. are you sure you've exported the images properly to *.gif files? cos what you describe happens when you take lets say image.psd file and rename it to image.gif.
