Symptoms

You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. When you use the Image.Save method in GDI+ to save JPEG images on the computer, you encounter one of the following issues:

  • The image becomes corrupted when you save it.

  • An "ArgumentException" exception message is shown if you set the image rotation to 0 degrees when you save the image.

  • You cannot save an image that has no comments in the metadata file.Note The Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) specification allows JPEG images to have no comments in the metadata file.

  • You cannot save an image that has thumbnail data but that does not have a thumbnail compression metadata tag.

Cause

These issues occur because of some errors in the implementation of the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) JPEG codec.
