Error opening jpegs...please help! - GoFuckYourself.com

I was combing through some old photos this morning and there are a few of them (about 10) that I cannot open in any program. Here is the error I get when trying to open one of them in Photoshop...

Is there any way to salvage these photos? They are all raw files that had been taken straight from the camera and stored on CD. Any ideas?

When you saw "raw" do you mean they were copied as-is from the camera, or they're actually in RAW format?

No...they are in .jpg format. Also the rest of the pictures from this set open just fine.

Here is a snapshot from explorer...

Note that some of the info is missing from the corrupted files. Anybody had this happen before?

Put one up online so anyone who reads this thread can download it and try to open it with one of the apps on his/her computer - then they could tell you what program they used...

you using the new adobe design suite?

i've had the same problem i just restarted adobe and tried re-opening the images and it worked fine

Alright here is one of the files:

http://www.stubradley.com/pictures/IMG_1735.JPG

I have tried opening it in several different apps including two versions of Photoshop (5.5 and CS). I have heard that Adobe has a program that will fix images with corrupt markers, but cannot find anything like that.

I'm no jpeg expert but I can't see the JFIF string anywhere in that file. There doesn't seem to be any sections that have all 00's or FF's, so the question is where did this apparently non-JPEG data come from?

Since there's also missing file information (eg the date stamp) it's possible the CD itself is corrupt.

there are two reasons for that:
1. cd is corrupted
2. the original file was saved using "progressive" in jpeg options, instead of "standard".

Nero Showtime opened it without a problem. If you don't have this program, just change the file extension to mp3... I'm not joking. Very strange!

Holy crap... winamp plays the "picture" just fine after renaming...
