I think you are right Dean. My wife put the photos on my desktop and I just dragged them to iphoto. Always worked in the past. When it didn't I tried opening them and they opened. However ... I later learned that the photos had actually be sent to my wife's website and she moved them to mine(ours). Therein, I suspect, is the problem.
