Corrupted JPEGs ukbadge <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/8/2008 1:49:20 PM Not sure if any of you guys can help me. I have many digital images and upload them onto a USB 250gb drive before copying across to DVD. At some stage recently the drive became corrupt and although I have managed to recover 99% of the images on there, there are a few which are greyed/partly greyed out. Surfing the web offers up many software solutions, but I have yet to find one that works. Any of you know an alternative or should I accept that these images are lost forever. -- ukbadge

It's possible you have to accept they are lost forever...99% is a pretty good strike rate all things considered. I'm not sure what Photo Editor you have. I use Photoshop CS2 and PhotoImpact X2. In some cases either of these will open what may seem like corrupted image files then you can re-save them under a different name. -- Clevo ___________________________ Windows Vista Home Premium x64 + SP1 ASUS P5K MB Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 [ at ] 2.4GHz 4GB RAM (DDR2) NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS Realtek HD onboard sound Helpful links: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/3d0c5a49-8f61-45cc-8a7d-38c4695ba9291033.mspx#EEE

Re: Corrupted JPEGs ukbadge <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/8/2008 7:44:25 PM Thanks for the response. I will give PhotoImpact a go and see what it can do. Doing further searches here I notice the problem is pretty widespread. -- ukbadge
