bad image data when loading an image error
May 10th, 2009, 1:43am  
Hi. New here

I am trying to follow the tutorial and can not get images to load. I tried a .jpg and .gif and they gave me an error telling me it is "bad image data". I done these so far with no luck
-Make Data folder and put my images
-Tried using the image from the tutorial "loadDisplayImage" and it worked fine  

Here is my code
Code:
//This will load an image
//error:
//"The file minty.gif contains bad image data, or may not be an image."

PImage minty;

void setup()
{
  size(200,200);
  minty = loadImage("minty.jpg");
  noLoop();
}

void draw()
{
  image(minty,0,0);
}


Thank you

If it works with the image from the tutorial but not your own images then it sounds like a problem with the images rather than your code.  What software are you using to save the images?

I'd try it with a couple more images downloaded from the net to confirm that it works with other images and maybe try some different image software...

Also - to be a little pedantic - if you're loading 'minty.jpg' your error message won't mention anything about 'minty.gif' Wink

Seems unlikely but just in case: Are you manually changing the extension on the image file?  That would almost certainly cause a problem...
