This has been my experience with several cameras.
Kodak may do things differently.
I just tried again with a Konica Minolta A1.
Copied an original picture from my hard drive taken with this camera, to my
CF card in the camera.
PICT0127.jpg
No problem displaying it on the LCD of the camera.
Rename the file in my computer to:
A_PICT0127.jpg
and copied it to the card in the camera.
Camera will not display this, but I can open it if I read the card with my
computer. So, obviously it is on the card.
Took original picture again, open in Photoshop Elements 3. All I did to this
picture was Autolevel and save with the original name.
Camera will open this file, but all I see on the LCD is a small grey square
in the middle of the LCD with some color at the top of this grey square
(actual color, objects, of the photo, at least as far as I can make it
because it is so small). Again, no problem opening this file with my
computer from the camera card.
I am very surprised that your camera can display edited photos. The manual
of my Sony S 70 said "minor editing may be fine". But I don't quite know
what "minor editing" is. The A1 manual says "Changing the file names or
adding other types of data to the card with a computer may cause the camera
to malfunction". Other manuals are silent on this issue.
It may be that your editing was done with the Kodak software supplied with
this camera and the software takes care of both the editing and file name
change and the new file is indeed readable by your camera.
Have you tried just renaming the file to something other than the 8
characters name that your camera uses, using XP to do this, not your Kodak
software. I certainly would be interested to know if this works. For all I
know about the cameras jpg naming this should fail.
As far as the original poster is concerned, he is just like me. He can copy
back files but his camera cannot display them and I suspect changing the
name or editing is the culprit.
Have not worked with cameras with internal memory cards. Only Memory Stick,
SD, CF and Microdrive.

Does this apply to the Internal Memory Card only?
I have a Kodak DX6440 and if I download edited pictures to the External Memory
Card on the camera there is no issue with reading/viewing these on
camera
LCD.
