Converting Unix executable photo files

If you have had photos become “Unix executable” format then do the following to convert them to jpeg:

Be sure that you have the files on a disk that is properly formatted for Mac and not for Windows.

Append .jpg to the file name

Open in Preview

In the File menu choose “Export to….”

In the export menu that opens enter the destination, change the file name if you wish, and MOST CRITICALLY be sure that it is saved in the jpeg format because this may not automatically happen.

The saved file then should behave like a normal .jpg
