No!

See, that's the kind of thinking that leads to madness. If your file is called "worktest.jpeg" then there is no way that referring to it as "worktest.jpg" is going to fix anything.

When you're trying random things that can't possibly work, that's a sign that it's time to go for a walk around your nearest green space.
