im a designer, and after uploading images i have made on photoshop I cannot view them. Im in the middle of designing a site and all the images i upload are red x's.....i know for a fact the html source and image file names are correct. This never happened on my PC...this has been happening ever since I got my Powerbook....also if I send the image to someone and have them upload it to their server..they also fail to view it UNLESS they rename it....its weird...but I dont know..any tips?

Also is their some kind of "Print Screen" on these Powerbooks...looking to take a screenshot of my progress on a web site..cant figure out how to Pring Screen.

Thanks guys....kinda urgent.

are all of your images on your webserver in lowercase. some are case sensitive. if they are not lowercase, then try rename them all to lowercase and then upload them again.

about the print screen for os X. apple (command) + shift + 3 is fullscreen. apple + shift + 4 will change your cursor to a cross hair and you can drag a selection. apple + shift + 4 into crosshair and then spacebar will change the cursor to a camera; which you can use to capture a window.

You know a link to the offending page/image might be helpful.

You should also make sure you use the Photoshop "Save for web..." option.

The problem may not be the images.

What sw are you using to build the website? I discovered (after my first foray into GoLive) that the file pathnames can get re-written to your home directory, instead of mapping to the web server it will live on.

Just a thought.

wasn't even thinking that direction... relative file path is very important. That could be the whole issue.
