Saving as BMP is a lossless solution. VERY large in size usually. PNG can be large too. Depending on how many colors there are. PNG can also be a better solution, when there are few colors.
Your pictures could be in Jpeg2000 compression. I ran into that problem a little while back. I used a program called FastStone Image viewer to convert it to Regular Jpeg with no compression. VERY awesome program by the way. It can batch convert! I believe Photoshop can too, but FastStone is more user friendly in doing so. I have not discovered how it is done in photoshop, because there has been no need to. Rather unusual that Photoshop couldn't read the file, but there are programs that can :)

Omeg_Hot Damn, thanks so much, I downloaded your Fastone, and it worked, I copied three of my pic's from the folder that has many to another and started experimenting, so you know, it's not easy for me to figure out a lot of this stuff, just ask Russ, I'll call him on the horn what would take him 30 seconds to understand would take him 30 minutes to explain to me, I know I drive him nuts but he puts up with me LOL.
I had a little trouble understanding how to send all three at once and it asked to create a folder were to go but figured it out (yup all by myself) first I converted to bitmap, tried to open with PSPro and it did same as Photoshop did, than I gave it a shot and tried to re-convert in JPEG again, and that worked, now both PSPro & Photoshop opens either one bitmap or the new jpeg.
I spent countless hours yesterday searching forums etc. most said it's pretty much a lost cause because of this or that except for the one guys solution to e-mail them to myself, what a hassle that was, now I'll try to convert the whole folder, there's bu-ku pic's in there, I'll make a copy first to play with not to screw up the original cause I'm still playing, if all goes well I'll start fixing some of my wife older pic's and my army pic's which many are faded, I have used so far PSPro one step fix a couple of times and it did a pretty decent job, I know doing it manually can get better results but still learning.
I want to thank you big time, you saved me a lot of time plus the fact I learned something new which I love to do on these things, I think I'm gonna save everything in bitmap, I have plenty of space so that doesn't worry me, besides between me and my kids we move around our pic's many times from one PC to another to disc's etc. so keeping them lossless as you pointed out is better for us I think. I have originally scanned all these pic's years back which took me forever and have noticed the deterioration of them, not realizing moving them around creates a loss in jpeg, I did some reading about that last night after your latest posts. Thank You.
Russ if your around today I'm gonna try to give you a buzz, my kids are going back to school soon, won't see them again till Xmas, thank you bearded guy upstairs, this past three months I have gotten grayer, wrinklier you name it jeez.
And last, a week ago I posted a long reply asking about certain things on this thread especially about getting help in making a wallpaper for me, I'm of Ukrainian decent and they have a symbol like us Americans have an Eagle, I wanted it to resemble one of your superman wallpapers, I have family in the UK that have recently made lives there and there still big in the Ukie thing I wanted to surprise them, it took me an hour to write and explain things, I clicked on post reply as always do thinking everything was fine, it never took, man I was pissed, I'll try again another time, before I post I'm saving this just in case.

Omeg, I did forget to mention, none of those pic's were jpeg2000, not as I highlight them anyway, all it says is jpeg and the size even when I go to properties, whats weird is all those pic's that PSPro & Photoshop would not open my older freeware like Paint.net and others do, go figure.

Good job fred :) I like that program quite a bit. Its even got certain skills, that photoshop does not. The compression of a Jpeg, allows for darn near exact file size. So if your uploading to a site, that has a 5Mb size limit, you can hit it right on the money, without sacrificing too much quality. Although I must admit, photoshops compression algorithms or extremely good. Its quite likely that photoshop can take it further, without sacrificing quality.
Im working on yet another image. A digital, rubix cube! I'm not pleased with the background, but I believe the overall cube is complete. Stay tuned :)
I've also discovered a freeware program, that renders some very interesting imagery. Unfortunately, its not multi core capable. So the imagery takes time to render :( Good thing im extremely patient :)

Ok. Heres my first attempt. Not too bad. I may run this one for a few days, to hopefully inspire new ideas.

Ehh...I don't know that its better, but I find it more interesting for sure. It seems to have more dimension. I swear this...Blob has eyes, and dimension. I'll post a 2560 Wide resolution for those who wish to use it, or resize it. Im afraid the last one I only did in 1920 Res. NOT my usual habit mind you. I plan to be running a 2560 monitor in the near future. And actually, I should be making them larger than that, so that they're timeless!
Here is the link for the High Res 2560 4.4Mb!

I don't exactly how Apophysis works, perhaps it's entirely possible to come up with an almost identical image, as Apophysis is what Blaitte uses, and he produced an image very similar to that.

LOL! I haven't began to understand how it works. I simply play with some functions, in the hopes that something catches my eye. I sure wish it were multicore capable. It takes its time sometimes. Some images render quickly, where others took 45 minutes. Although im saving them differently now, and it only takes 10 at most. Im sure the more that I play with it, my subconscious/imagination will take over.

Awesome link Sam! I'll keep this one for a while :D
You have my word, I will not lie about what I produce. If I manipulate others works, it will be mentioned. I enjoy the art programs greatly. I have nothing but time...

LOL! I suppose thats true. I have a part time job, Im staying with my folks at the moment, and spend a great deal of time just playing with programs. It is my hopes that one day, I will begin creating software too. It only comes at a small cost. Small cost to me...
I have virtually no interest in starting a family. But thats a different topic entirely LOL!

Ok, Im a fool. LOL! It would appear that there are newer beta versions that are multithreaded. AWESOME! Its already running 10X smoother. Will post another as soon as possible.

Definitely liking the newer beta. It utilized the FULL potential of my Quad. I switched it to a 2 threaded appy though, just in case. I really don't want a program like this one crashing, on the brink of awesome imagery LOL! Heres the last one of the night. I must admit, it did not turn out quite like I planned. But I bet sam hasn't seen this one LOL! Well...perhaps there is something similar... For the most part, the program is somewhat random.
