To me it sounds like you've got a file path issue with your images.
The way it works is that you have to put your images in the correct folder relative, to your HTML file.
Here's an example:
Does that help?
If not, you can read up about absolute vs relative paths

2,045 PointsI have noticed that when doing some of the exercises, my google chrome seems to be having a few glitches here and there, even though the code is right. Even the finished files I downloaded in the .zip for the lesson had a few things like images or link colors not displaying correctly. I am using a windows computer, so I believe that the issues you are having are probably problems in Google Chrome or Windows OS, assuming your code is right.

Courses Plus Student 387 PointsI have checked a number of times, i have also tried different browsers. so my image is saved in a file called HTML, where my sublime code is also saved. The image is called denim.jpg. The code I am writing in is as follows. <img src="HTML/denim.jpg" alt="denim image">
I have copied exactly what the video has outlined yet the images will not show.
