I just recently got a new computer and had to reinstall Maya 2008 onto it, along with all my projects.  I’m working with a scene that worked fine before this new computer, which incidentally has Windows Vista 64bit with an NVidia Quadro graphics card installed, but now I keep getting the same error message when trying to map a jpg to my color channel, which is:

// Error: Image conversion (to IFF) failed

The weird thing is that I was just working with another unrelated scene file where I had to reestablish the file links, basically doing the very same thing, but did not receive the error message.

I did try to rename and resave the file, but still got the error.

Thank you for your help!

Does the .jpg render on your object fine?

Try opening your .jpg in an image editing program and make sure it is saved as a baseline-standard format, and not baseline-optimized or progressive.
