After editing an image on Pixlr and saving it back to the project, I am getting the following error message when I try to edit the images information (e.g clicking on the edit link within a DAMP listing as well as when i try to edit the image item within the Media section.

After further analysis at looking at the umbraco.config xml file, the date format to the media item that has been updated using Pixlr differs from the default upload.
I've also encountered this bug before and it's probably a bug in Umbraco. Have a look at this workitem: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30273. You can try to reproduce what's in there.
I fixed it by setting a culture in the web.config like this:
This happens because the image cropper stores a date and because the different cultures it can get stored different. After adding the culture in the web.config I don't know if it's fixed for the current media items (those already have the wrong date and won't work anymore), but if you create a new media item and try to change that with pixlr it should work.

Hi Hamish,
I've also encountered this bug before and it's probably a bug in Umbraco. Have a look at this workitem: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30273. You can try to reproduce what's in there.
I fixed it by setting a culture in the web.config like this:
<globalization requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" culture="en-GB" />This happens because the image cropper stores a date and because the different cultures it can get stored different. After adding the culture in the web.config I don't know if it's fixed for the current media items (those already have the wrong date and won't work anymore), but if you create a new media item and try to change that with pixlr it should work.

Just out of curiousity - did you have any adverse effects anywhere else in umbraco by setting that value?
I used it on a few websites and I had no other problems. Didn't use it on multilingual websites, but I think that also shouldn't cause any trouble.

Looks like it will be fixed in Umbraco 4.7.1.1 http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30273.

Experienced kind of the same issue today On 4.7.1
I got a different date format after creating a new image using DAMP. Adding the culture to the web.config solved it: culture="en-GB"
4.7.1.1 is already out and it's fixed in there so you could also upgrade.
