Is this happening when you try and save an image or all the time?

I solved the problem giving WRITE permission to user IIS on the IMAGES folder

Also, Check that your seofilename for that picture does not have any strange characters. Mine had "/" in it.

I ran this:


update Picture set SeoFilename = REPLACE(SeoFilename,'/','-')

Grant write permissions to \Content\Images\ and \Content\Images\Thumbs\ directories
