When I import an image with myGraphics = Import[imageName, "BMP"] the image size is wrong. (It should be 512x384, but Mathematica reads only 94 lines of 512. The image is created by some proprietary software on Woindows, but I have no trouble reading it in IrfanView (a popular shareware windows image tool). If I read the image in IrfanView and save as a jpeg, I can read the resulting jpeg in Mathematica with no problem. Math says it "supports Windows device‐independent bitmaps that are compressed using run‐length encoding." IrfanView says the image is uncompressed. I am Using Math 5.0.1.0 Any clues out there?
