[Discuss] Peculiar JPEG Image behaviour -- Off Topic?

[Murray Strome]

Hi Alan,

Thanks. I am going to have her send the photos using the Mac iPhoto 
system with the "Large" option selected to see what happens.  She had 
sent them just as they were saved into her Mac from her digital camera.  
In the EXIF data under comments it has "AppleMark", whatever that might 
mean.
