My images are from google street views 74K. I read and gone through every tutorial still can’t load an image. They are 50x50 rgb jpg images  
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you’re looking for [https://github.com/JuliaIO/FileIO.jl](https://github.com/JuliaIO/FileIO.jl) and [GitHub - JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl: Thin Wrapper for the library ImageMagick](https://github.com/JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl)

Read the readme for both, I found the FileIO system a little confusing as well.

But basically install them both and run:

```julia
using FileIO
img = load(filename)

```

Edit: unless I misunderstood and you’re loading particularly large images or something specific? what units did you mean with 50 x 50 ?

If that works for you, you can mark it as the solution.
