Opening JPEGS

[Ndirect]

Hi all I appear to be having difficulty in opening JPEGS the error message i
get is

'could not open document because a Sofn, DQT, or DHT JPEG marker is missing
before a JPEG SOS marker.

I have considered that the file may be in a different format but no matter
what I try it still maintains that it is a JPEG any help?

regards

Ian

We are having the same or similar kind of problem. Have you by chance found
a solution? Sometimes in our case a document will generate a similar JPEG
marker error if it is opened from any hard drive except the one it was
originally saved on.

No as of yet I have not found a solution. It is interesting to note however
that using paint and selecting show all files i am able to open the files.
This is interesting as I was always under the impression that paint was
unable to open jpeg's

Hi!

I have faced the same problem before. Two solution worked for me:

1- Open the JPG using the default picture openning software other than
Photoshop. Copy to clipboard and paste again.

2- In Mac, you may browse the picture from inside Photoshop, create a
preview for the picture, close Photoshop, open Photoshop then open the
picture.

This is absolutely humiliating... But you may find yourself enforced to
do it.

some images

3- Drop all the files on the Photoshop icon (an alias works, too.) Works
on both platforms.

Why in the world would you say that? People have been doing this for
years.

Hi Eric!

You misunderstood the problem. Yes, everybody knows that you may drop
the file on the alias. However, in some cases for JPG pictures
Photoshop rejects to open SOME JPG-compressed files and (NOT ALL),
sounds strange, ha?! It is true, believe it or not.

Whenever I've had a problem opening a jpg in Photoshop, I simply
Convert it in ACDSee (from jpg to jpg with the highest quality
setting) and it always opens.

ACDSee is now available for Mac as well.

Just a thought.

Hi Don, Hi Everybody who suffered this strange problem!

JPG compression is a lossy algorithm. If you want to keep the original
quality then saving in JPG even with high quality will lead to losing
the exact details of the original picture when you open it. Now if
somebody of the folks is watching this discussion, (s)he may provide us
with an advise about this bewildering problem. Why JPG's sometimes open
easily and why they sometimes jam when they are opened by Photoshop.
Does this problem exists in PS6?

Ok People I have appeared to have found a solution. Quite simple really---
all you have to do is reinstall photoshop, and make it your default package
for viewing jpeg's

weird I know but it seems to have worked.

Hi Ian,
I found a solution on another thread which worked for me:

Open the image in microsoft paint. Then save as (I saved as jpeg but you may try other formats too if needed. But if they dont work I can say jpeg works).
Then, open the new version in photoshop, and it actually works, photoshop opens it!

Good luck:)
