I'm afraid I forgot to mention that I don't get prompted, and I did not
copy the image from my webbrowser. Rather, I downloaded the jpg file
over Europeana's proxy from Finnish National Library and then copied
this one with Command-c in Finder (the macOS file manager) from local
system SSD. I do not understand how the tiff comes in here. But is is
there in the data folder Org created. I tried to open it in Preview, I
even changed the file ending to .jpg, but I cannot open it. The tiff
file seems to be corrupt.

No need to worry about that.

Thanks, again. Have a good start to the new week.
