Using YOLO v8, I am pre-annotating images. I generate a json file and import it into Label Studio. However, Label Studio says it is unable to load the image. I suspect there is a problem with my path formatting, but I am unable to figure that out.

```auto
[
    {
        "data": {
            "image": "d:\\frames\\cars\\image0001.jpg"
        },
        "predictions": [
            {
                "result": [
                    {
                        "id": "image0001",
                        "type": "rectanglelabels",
                        "from_name": "label",

                            ]
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
]

Thanks. That helped me figure it out and I can now see the image.

With my imported annotations, will they supposed to be visible when I load the image to add more annotations manually?

Yes, sure, you will be able to add annotations manually and see everything.
