Common Mistakes: Images not showing up in IE

Posted by: Jennifer In: Lessons learned

If you have a webpage that has an image on it – and it displays fine in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome – but in IE it's not showing up – or it's showing up with that little icon with the red "x" in it – Check to make sure the image wasn't saved in CMYK format. Amazingly enough, the other browsers still manage to display the image, but IE always chokes.

If you have Adobe Photoshop, to make this change, go to the "Image" menu, select "Mode" then see if "CMYK" is checked. If so, select "RGB" to change the color mode. Save and upload your image again and make sure you're linking to the new version.

Oh yes, that one drove me mad!

I have no idea how they switched over to CMYK, but they did.

Wish I'd seen your post, would have saved me some time. Glad you are sharing the wisdom!!

Thanks for advice. IE can be a nightmare to code in sometimes. Changed to RGB and working like a dream! :)
