NO...It's NOT an "IMAGE file" as in a GRAPHIC IMAGE that JPEGview or some other raster app will open. (bob? Mactech@appleisp.com, eh? where'd ya get that one? Change it to Newbie@appleisp.com and you'll be alright.) Use Apples own 'Disk Copy' software. That should do it.

.img files are image files, but they are disk images. Apple's DiskCopy will mount them, and so to will Aladdin's Shrink Wrap (www.aladdinsys.com) (you don't need a burner, just a Mac. Once mounted on the desktop the 'image' will look and behave like a mounted disk. To unmount it just drag it to the trash, or highlight the disk icon and press command (apple) + e (for eject))

I have several *.img files and cannot mount them. I tried the mounter that comes with Toast Deluxe, but doesn't recognize the files. Also, I tried DiskCopy 6.3 and doesn't recognize them. If i drag the img file icon to the DiskCopy icon, the program crashes. I don't know what to do with these images. Any idea?

I just recieved some picture files and they are img ### jpg. Someone told me that the reason I cannot open them is because they are img as well as jpg. I dont know a lot about this , but the sender tells me he's never had a problem with his customers opening these files. HELP I need to open these files ASAP, and I dont know enough about all this to figure it out!! If anyone can help me it would be great!!
