Re: [ids-devel] RE: line errors

I've put several new images in the problems folder. They are separated  
by step, which (I hope) will help identify where the problem is showing  
up. The from_camera folder contains images exactly as copied from the  
cf card, before they were imported into iPhoto. The after_import  
folder, obviously, is the same images after being imported into iPhoto.  
The after_modify is one of the images after being rotated in iPhoto.

  I don't know if you are familiar with iPhoto or not, so what iPhoto  
does when you edit an image is move the original to an "originals"  
folder, and it puts a new edited image in its place. I noticed that the  
one that has been modified is the only one with the second page, so it  
appears that (for SOME reason) iPhoto is inserting a preview when it  
edits the image.

I installed magickstudio, and when I specify scene 0, it will open  
these images fine. When I specify scene 1, it says:
Exception 420: No encode delegate for this image format  
(PICT0004_1.png):
BUT, it's not png. The second image is encoded in jpeg format- Although  
I may be wrong about that since I can't remember where I saw it. I  
wasn't aware that a tiff could contain a page encoded in a different  
format,  but apparently so. It may help to know that I have been unable  
to install libpng for some reason, from the Mac OS X binary or from  
source. I have no idea why, since I have all the pre-reqs installed and  
working. Here is the info from identify on scene 1:
