Failure to open .pnm file

September 26, 2008 - 15:45 — RayArdia

When I try to open a .pnm file (created by my own scanner using XSANE), I get the following error:-
PNM Image Message, invalid X resolution
GIMP Message, Opening 'home/XXXX/documents/for XXXXX.pnm' failed, PNM Image Plug-in could not open image.
NO doubt I'm doing something wrong, but just WHAT please!

Using Ubuntu Hardy on i386 PC 2.25GB RAM 80GB HDD

Failure to open .pnm file

"X resolution" in that contest X usually mean Width seems there is something unacceptable with the width of the scanned imagine (as example width result is 0 so imagine could not be opened because has no data ...) Simply right click on the file to check imagine propriety, if size is 0 kb or anyway very few kb you may be sure that the problem is in your scanner or in Xsane...same if imagine size is something as 0 x 800 or even 1 x ..something if it has a reasonable number of kb and a reasonable size you may try to open with some other sw and check if there is something strange in the imagine ratio or look
