Corrupted Jpegs recovered from SD Card cant be opened
Hi All,
I recently had a corrupted SD card in my Camera,
I could view the images using my camera but my card reader said the card was empty as did WIA when I tried to get them that way.
Filerecovery professional was the only application able to access the images, I could even view them using its built in viewer. But when I recover the images to my hard drive no application will open them.
Photoshop says Unknown or invalid Jpeg Marker type is found and IrfanView says unsupported JPEG process/compression: SOF type 0xc6.
Any hints or tips please, can I fix the images or does anyone know a better recovery option. I have tried many different companies software already.
Thanks
John

are the images still on the memory card? if so, get another card reader

I have tried several card readers. The images do not appear on the card unless I run filerecovery pro. It is the only software that recovers them, albeit corrupted.
ok.. rather than use the card reader, do you have a cable that can connect via USB/Firewire?
ASKER
connect what, if you mean the camera, yes, I have tried that, Images can only be removed from the camera via WIA. the card appears empty and it cannot be read as a drive anyway
what is the manufacturer & model of your camera?
if you can see your pic with your camera, so i suggest to rotat your pic or change the size with the camera and save it again and try to open it again with your card reader

I tried the card in a mac and now my Sony DX7630 camera wont show the images at all.
Bad copy found nothing on the card but photo rescue found files, but I havnt bought it yet to see if it works. It didnt show any thumbnails though.
CorelDraw refuses to acknowledge there is anything selected but Photoshop will open them but they are gobbeldygook. Often it says the specified image is larger than the file
Filerecovery still lets me preview the images on the card though, full resolution and they look perfect so I know they are there. It just does something to them when it saves that means nothing can open them or else it has some marvellous picure viewer built in.

Can you screen-capture the FileRecovery views?
ASKER
They are quite small, but yes I can, but I would prefer to get the large sized high resolution originals.
See if PhotoRescue will show any thumbnails for the images you've already recovered with the FileRecovery software. My experience has been that it can sometimes open/repair images that other software has recovered but are now corrupted.

Hi,
Photorescue has recovered a lot of my images from the card now...
It worked when I selected physical drive rather than logical.
Theyre not all there, but a majority are. And a few really bizarre ones from many months ago.
Thanks Very Much
It couldnt thumbnail those recovered by FileRescue though, and the hex thing was way outta my league.
Again, Thanks You

Great! Glad to have helped - it's a pretty scary thing when an important file is gone or corrupted.
