So, that image there. It looks perfectly normal. However, when I saved it, and went to the folder, I see a completely different image in the preview, seen below. Anyone want to explain that?

It's kept the original thumbnail for some reason. It used to be that you could right-click and hit "refresh thumbnail" but that's changed with Windows 7. I don't know any solutions as simple as that, unfortunately.

I went ahead and dropped this into my XP virtual machine and enabled thumbnails and got the exact same result and I know that machine has never touched that image before, so it appears that the image was deliberately coded to have different data. Using the 'refresh thumbnail' option does indeed update the thumbnail to reflect the actual image.

You could try opening it in an image editor and saving it again I suppose? I'm not sure why this image has such behavior.

Some image editing software saves the thumbnail inside the EXIF of an image. When that image is changed to something else, you have the option to not touch the EXIF information. Thus, creating some disparity between the actual photo and the thumbnail...

I thought so. GIMP has the option to set various traits when saving images, including keeping the EXIF stuff. I usually do that when I'm scaling down photographs so it wipes the location/camera data. happy.gif

And if that doesn't work, you can usually delete the hidden system thumbnail file in that folder and force it to rebuild one from scratch.

I was going to suggest that but hoped someone would provide a simpler fix first. Guess there's no one-click solution for that in 7. That's a shame.
