Corrupt Images
Jan 17, 2013 07:38:40 #
After using a data recovery company to recover files on a damaged drive, I am encountering problems opening many of the files. In some cases you can see the thumbnail image on some but they fall apart when you open them in Bridge or PS. My thinking is that if the info is there to generate a thumbnail, shouldn't I be able to open the image? Or is the thumbnail info separate data? Also, I get various error messages when trying to open some images from "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" (although it is a Jpeg or CR2) to "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid Jpeg marker type is found." Any info you may have on any of the above is appreciated and I hope if you've never been through this you never will!!

The thumbnail is probably generated from the embedded JPG in the file, so all that means is enough of the file is intact to pull the embedded image out but there are problems with the rest of the file that stop you opening it in PS

I have literally hundreds of thumbnail images that generate the same message in photoshop - photoshop does not recognize this type of file. In my case they are all JPEGS and when you view the exif data it appears to be normal. Have not been able to solve the problem, although I had many suggestions when I submitted it in this forum some time ago.

As Robin Williams once said to a Heckler in one of his stand up shows after destroying the guy....
"Sir, we are not laughing AT you, We're laughing NEAR you"!!
