This function does not verify if the file you ask to load is actually a valid JPEG image.
Reading files over 1 GB is not supported.

This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.
