Re: [Gimp-user] Cannot Open jpegs/jpgs in GIMP

If you look at the detail of the information you provided, you will see
it was created by a GD type of program, commonly used on web servers
to generate images.

Googling as I suggested indicates that the web server has not
implemented their script correctly.

Go back to the site where you got the image might be the best approach
for you.

It is not a gimp problem
