[Gimp-user] Corruption of Graphics Files
Hi all, I have some trouble with a JPEG file... When trying to open this file I get : Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x00 0x00 Fine... The file seems not to be truncated, it has the same size as the other ones. Do you know how I can change the start of file and the end of file of a JPEG picture using the gimp or any other thing? Thanks a lot ! Jeff ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

What makes you think that it indeed does contain a JPEG file? Instead of being just a blob of random data which happens to have a name ending in .jpg? Can you open it with other programs?

I can't open it with other programs... (I have also tried to open it with my favourite emacs... but it contains only @@@). It is a jpeg file because it comes from a cdrom that contains only jpeg files (pictures). I think it has been corrupted during the burning... there are some other one like this one, but not all...

You could try http://freshmeat.net/projects/recoverjpeg/ but I doubt that it will help in this case. Try renaming it so the the suffix is eliminated. Then try calling it up in various programs that recogize multiple file formats, like XV or even Gimp. Maybe the program will recognize the format based on the preamble. And maybe not.

Re: [Gimp-user] Corruption of Graphics Files
I tried a lot of different things but it doesn't work... I think Stephan is right : When I remove the suffix .jpg from the corrupted file, I can open it with an text editor like emacs and there are only @@@... I tried to do the same thing with a not corrupted jpeg file and I have also others characters, not only @@@... (up to now I had never tried to open a picture with a text editor...). So I think my file is really corrupted... What is strange is that it has the same size as the other jpeg file that are not corrupted. When I run file on the corrupted file I get data, while I of course get something like JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01 with good ones... I think that my file is definitively dead... :'( Thank you all for your help !! Hi, ASJF wrote: (I have also tried to open it with my favourite emacs... but it contains only @@@).
