Image Placing

I am simply trying to place an image into an email that I am working on. All of the images for the project are in the proper folder. In one particular location in this project, Dreamweaver will allow me to place any image from the folder with the exception of the one that I need in this location. Any idea what the issue may be? I have tried png and jpg, as well as resaving from Photoshop under  a different name. Thanks in advance everyone.

Correct answer el133568

When DW acts erratically, try clearing the Cache.

Deleting a corrupted cache file


I update and when I reopened everything it seemed to be fine. So I'll have to see if it happens again and if it does I'll try this. Thanks everyone!

An update...when I opened Dreamweaver today and opened up the few things I have been working on, yesterday's image loaded. However a different one, one that I already placed in a different file, will not show up in a new file that I have just created. Totally confused at this point and wondering if it might benefit me to switch to Brackets.

So the image that was a problem yesterday is not a problem today, but a different image is doing the same thing that yesterdays file was???

Yes, but the image that is a problem child today is working perfectly fine in another tab, as was the case with yesterday's issue. The whole thing is seemingly sporadic and random. I am going to try to close everything, quit Dreamweaver, update it, and see what happens.

I wonder if it could be the filename of the image.  Would DW flip out if the filename has a space or a certain special character?

PS.  Does the filename have a space or special character in it?

What is happening exactly when you try to insert the image?

What is the file size and the dimensions of the image? DW gets cranky if huge images are being used sometimes. Make sure to resize your image to the size you'll be using if it's significantly larger than the html calls for.

It could be a corruption in the image. When you open it in photoshop, select all and hit copy. Open a new blank document and paste, flatten and save (make sure you save as RGB not CMYK). That should clear out any corruption.

Image is 119 KB and about 500px square. I tried to copy, flatten and resave under a new name and it is still a no go!
