invalid JPEG marker type is found

I have had the same issues. I would save an edited file in Photoshop, only to be unable to open it later on. I would get the "invalid jpeg marker" notice every time.

This is what I did to fix it.

On a Mac, I right clicked the photo and opened it in Preview.

I then went to file - export - and saved it with a .psd extension

That created a new file which I was able to open into Photoshop successfully.

I think what might have happened in my case was that I first saved my photo as a .jpg. Then I saved it as a .psd document with the same name as I had used for the jpeg. (I never found that psd version) I think Bridge or Photoshop must have had a conflict with the similar file names causing the photo to appear as a small thumbnail jpg in Bridge, but being 90 mb and unable to be opened in Photoshop. But when I opened the corrupted file into Preview, it was a full resolution, perfectly fine photo. I just went to file and clicked "export", and it automatically set it as a psd... almost as if it was already supposed to be a psd but was somehow saved as a jpg. So I saved it with the same file name and everything, except with a .psd ending, opened into Photoshop and resaved it as a jpg with a new filename.

I just finished using this one and it worked pretty well on a SanDisk CF Ultra II.

I had a card not recognised message in camera and in card reader.

Retrieved approximately 90% of my photos off the card.

Better than the none I had before.

Was also recommended this one which I have not used as of yet, but a few people

had recommended it as well. So I thought I would include it as well.

I've recently been having a similar problem. Here's the scenario. I take a photo, upload them into iPhoto. I edit that JPG in Photoshop no problem. I'm usually taking out backgrounds and saving them as PSD files to keep layers. I'm then putting that PSD back into iPhoto for storage. Now here's the problem. When in iPhoto I right click on the PSD file and choose 'Edit in External Editor', Photoshop comes back with "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found". This only recently started happening and am not sure why. But its annoying.

Photoshop CS3 v 10.0.1

iPhoto '11 9.1.2 (605)

System: iMac, OS 10.6.7, 2 GHz, 2GB RAM

How is this particular suggestion helpful in the Adobe Bridge Macintosh forum?

Try open the image in any browser, then save it once more... (rtclick> saveas)

It will be cleared.....

Although in the past I have had this occur once in a while, recently I had hundreds of images become corrupt with the same message. At the same time, I was also getting an assortment of other error messages but all were stating about the same thing. The .jpg images could not be read. In addition, at this same time, (and from the same photo session,)

Most of my .tiff images became corrupt after I had converted them from RAW format. Along with about half of those of the RAW format were unreadable.

Of course the first problem I thought it was, was the digital camera, or the card reader or maybe the memory card.  Unless something very unusual took place on that day of photographing, there was and is nothing wrong with any of the camera devices.

After thinking for a bit, I realized I was also having the .tiff problem in other folders, with images that had been scanned and never came from a RAW format. After moving folders from one drive to another, (I thought it might be the external drive). I did some disc utilities on the external drive. (this is where I keep most working images before I burn all onto DVDs.

After doing the disc utilities and then defragmenting. I also ran Gary’s Utilities (the free version).

In addition, I cleaned up my folders and did basic house cleaning on that USB External drive.

Once all of this was completed, I stopped having the problem with any additional images. However, I do believe those that received the error message, along with the garbled .tiff and unreadable RAW images, well, I have as of now deleted all of them. (A virus? Who knows).

I have spoken to the customer support of the manufacture of my external drive, and he told me that nothing from a hard drive could cause this problem. I think I tend to believe these problems come from drives needing utilities done, a registry problem or things along that line. Just goes to prove, “Back up – Back-up and Back-up” This way you are always protected

I also am getting the same error alert when I try to open up a file that was sent to me through email. Under file properties it says that the file type is JPEG and that its an 8 bit message. I have tried copying it saving it from an online image, renaming it copying it from a simple viewer program and even had the person re-capture the image and send it to me again and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
