Re: canon jpegs

Emil.. I havn't played with GD too much but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that digital cameras tend to save EXIF jpg images that have some extra headers on them with data about the camera and other stuff (some cameras even have GPS in them and will store the lat/long of where the image was taken.. stuff like that). If you have a hex editor, take a look at the first few bytes of the file. If it says EXIF then it's one of these images (which I assume it is)... if it says "JFIF" it's a standard regular old JPG. Converting from your camera's "jpg" to regular jpg can be done in just about any image editing software, as EXIF format seems to be really poorly supported. Photoshop for instance, will completely rewrite the header (unless maybe you load and immediately save without doing any editing.. then it may decide you didn't change anything, so it won't save anything.. dunno). It could just be that GD doesn't know what to do with all the extra headers. See if there's any data on GD and EXIF files floating around.
