Ok, so I am trying to get a basic patch running: Load Image

I have copied it exactly(or so I think) from the help file in pd extended..

I can get the gem window to appear, however, the image wont load.... however, in the help files, the images load perfectly. I have included my patch below, thx in advance for any help.

Windows8 running pd ext .43.4 The help file I have copied is pix_image-help.pd

open imagea.pd
