[edit] Photoshop JPEGs

Xavier, Just letting you know that I've re-uploaded your Specimen of the Garamond typeface image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CGtypeSpecAIB.jpg) due to some issues encountered while trying to display the image in the browser. It seems that the way it was exported from Photoshop meant that it included a large amount of extra tags in the image which aside from causing issues with several browsers (Firefox, IE and Mozilla give up, Konqueror only displays part of the image) meant that the file was quite large (596K vs 12K).

I think Photoshop, by default, embeds colour profiles in the JPEG which causes some browsers to blanch. You might want to try the 'Save for Web' function to export them for the Web. Hopefully my attempt to fix it worked - it appears that the previous image hasn't been flushed out of Wikipedia's cache yet. *cross fingers*

By the way - Thanks for your contributions to the Garamond article - It's been very useful for some of my Uni work.
