I tried posting the same photo here as an attachment and got the same error. It shows the file size despite the error. And the dimensions show for the file in my folder.

Yes. The error comes up after clicking add files, and the place inline link then never comes up. I get that green icon on the right, and click on it and then I get the popup. See the screenshot below.

Apparently it is a specific problem with that image, since I did the same thing with this screenshot, and it worked.

I was going to suggest trying a different browser, but based on your last post it sounds like it was just that image.

Yeah, clearly others have gotten the error too, but not too often. I always have downsized my images - it used to be required, I didn't know it wasn't any more. But on the image causing the problem here, it was dark so I also pushed the brightness. That must have somehow corrupted the metadata for the photo.
