The new Photoshop CS2 has a file viewer program with it called Bridge that
views all the Adobe types of images. This is a new concept for Adobe and it
displays the jpg preview/thumbnail images normally, but if the image is a
jpe, it will sometimes distort the preview/thumbnail in the viewing window.
The file always opens normally, just the preview/thumbnail is distorted.
Changing the file extension from jpe to jpg cures this quirk. Adobe is
working on a fix, but until then thought I would just make the changes to
the jpe in my 26k images.
I have always assumed that jpe and jpg are the same image type, jpe being
the first three letters of jpeg, the full name.
