make sure you save it as JPEG/JPG file extension, IE can't open native photoshop file formats

i am saving it as a .jpg file

screenshot? why is ie opening?

i save it into a folder.. and then i open up the folder and preview the file... it previews fine.. but when i double click (default program opening the file is IE), it gives me an X

i can try opening in mozilla, and it'll say

The image “whatever.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

try saving again because it looks like the file may be corrupted

alternatively, you can upload the photoshop file provided its not something you don't wanna share on the internet

yea that helps a lot, plus waste everyone's time downloading the file

Instead of saving as JPG in the "File -> Save", use the "Save for Web and Device" function in the File menu.

someone asked to upload the photoshop file... just did it in case it might have helped.

You should have the option to save it as a JPEG when using that, click the box that says "GIF" or whatever, and select JPEG instead.

it only gives me these options:

HTML and images (.html)
Images only (.gif)
HTML only (.html)

Make sure it's RGB.. Image>Color

It's a common mistake to have a file as CMYK (for printing) .. X in iE

Options sound like ImageReady and not Photoshop :)

However for Photoshop CS2 (at least) you can go Image > Mode > RGB Color

[jasperException]

OP if you rightclicks on the image you made with your Photoshop 7.0 -> Properties -> Summary tab -> Advanced, you will see that the "Color Representation" is "uncalibrated". IE only recognized sRGB calibrated image. So it will give you an "X" for "uncalibrated". shrugs is correct by pointing out that you need to set your color to RGB Color.
