Viewing PNG image file on a Macbook pro
 

Someone emailed me a .png image, my macbook and iphone both won't view it.... Anybody got any ideas?

Standard image format these days.... Maybe you should buy a PC. :eek:

I was going to suggest that to him Dave, but I decided that would be rude...get a PC man.

Look on the web there are plug-ins for this. It's just new that's all, no need to get a Piece of Crap.
I'm on your side Sidney!!

Eh, png's have been around for years now. Even native in the iPhone.

Safari should open them, Apple Preview....

PNG 's show up just fine in iPhones or Macs by default.

Either single-click on it to select it and hit spacebar (to do a quick preview, spacebar again to close quick preview) or double click it to open it i preview (should be the default app to open it). Or right-click on it to open it with another app, like a browser or something.

If that doesn't work, then I'd say that there's something wrong with the file.

Came in on gmail, Nothing on either device will open it...

Oh well, they were sent to me in another format now... now worries...

For me:

Save it to the desktop or wherever, and

go to it and click once and go "command-I" to get info,

and there's a drop-down thingy where i says "open with" and select Preview.

Open in preview and you can 'save as' some other format if you want.

Did they save it out at 72DPI?

Wouldn't open in preview... I'm thinking the file must have been corrupt...

I really feel like Toms PC mangled the picture when he forwarded it...

Yeah, I don't have a prob with .png so maybe the file is bad.

Please don't blame PC's. They can be mangled on Macs as well.
