Further to my previous post regarding corrupt images, I have just tried to create a map using only my good images. To save on upload time I first put them through JpegMini, a great utility which compresses the files to approx. half the size whilst keeping the images indistinguishable from the originals.
It preserves all metadata and is a program I use routinely and have done for several years without any issues with any software.
When I loaded these images into MME and selected an image to test the image tags, I received the message "This image is of very low quality and will likely cause the processing to fail..."
I have checked all the metadata (date, image size, height, width, resolution, camera used, GPS coordinates, altitude etc. etc.) and everything looks identical to the uncompressed original.
Any help would be appreciated. As I said, I have never had any program (Photoshop, InDesign, ARCGis, MapInfo etc.) complain about photos processed with JpegMini.
