That red x often means that the name in the HTML file does not match the actual name of the graphic it references, so it can’t be found. The exact name is needed and on many servers the names are case sensitive.

Is it on a web page? Can we see the page?

Could also be a CMYK graphic.

Presuming that you "made" the jpg correctly (e.g. Save for Web… or Save as…), it’s because the <img> tag that is referencing the image is not pointing to the actual location of the image. Either the name or case of the image is incorrect, or the path to the image is incorrect, or both. It is NOT an image problem, but an HTML problem.

The other possibility is that you’re not saving the pciture in the exact number of spaces that the web page layout calls for.

Please explain what you mean by that, Tom, because it doesn’t sound to me like it has much to do with the original question.

When Ian said uploading, I presume he meant for web use. I see someone else asked if it were for web use also.

I do a lot of that, and if the jpeg is not the correct pixel by pixel as called for in the layout as programmed, a red X appears.

"exact number of spaces that the web page layout calls for."

I didn’t know what to make of that bit of unconventional phrasing. If you had meant "pixels" I would have expected to see you use that term.

So, now that we have that cleared up…

If you specify specific width and height attributes within an image tag, shouldn’t an uploaded image simply size itself to those values, instead of displaying at its native size?

I’m not a huge web-monger, but that’s been my experience.

Usually when I get a busted image icon, it’s because there’s a file naming discrepancy…for me, it’s often upper vs. lower case.
