	One report on the web indicates that "applemark" is juts a caption 
placed in the caption field of the image metadata. I suspect a corrupt 
image file. If the other user sent it to you as is from the camera, then 
the only other culprit would be receiving the image via email. Email is 
not a safe way to transfer files. Have them send it to you again but 
zipped up instead. I have not experienced any problems in working with 
images direct from my olympus camera or from copies exported from iPhoto.
