I have *.jpg file that I open in Photo Pad Image Editor. The file size is about 6.85 megabytes. I want to crop a bit off the top and bottom and then save the file. When I do this, the display changes from my image (sheet music) to a gray & white checkerboard, and just stays that way. At this point it will not let me save the cropped file. What do I need to do to save the cropped version of the file? Jim O'Briant Gilroy, CA
