"Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marher type is found."

I have a folder of hundreds of images I have collected from the web, all different sources.
Using BRIDGE. I opened up various groups of these images from their folder, not the main picture folder, selected ALL, BATCH RENAMED them, for example, "Military000.jpg" Not all of them were jpegs. BRIDGE renamed them accurately as I wanted.

But now there are several in each renamed group that will not open in Photoshop as before. I have viewed all of them in Photoshop, or PictViewer, or Acrobat. I know they are not all jpgs, now I want to open them all and save as jpg.

I grabbed the free utility FILEINFO, selected all the files, and changed the TYPE and CREATOR names. But Photoshop will not open them either through theOPEN dialogue, double clicking the file, or dragging the file over the icon in the DOCK.

What did Bridge do to these files?

      Wendy,

      Restore the .jpg extension at the end of each file name.

      Wendy, you are running into the same issue as I. I wish I could help, but my issue was created when I changed the extensions of various images all at once, in Bridge. All I could do was reopen them one at a time in Photoshop. I still do not know what exactly Bridge changed in each file.

      I have been scanning photos into photoshop cs 8.0 and them saving them as jpegs. I am unable to reopen them in photoshop! I get the invalid marker error. I can open them in preview and resave as a jpeg, then they will open in photoshop.I have scanned in hundreds of photos and would prefer to not have to resave them all in preview. outside of all the time wasted I lose the preview thumbnail. Is there a way to get photoshop to reopen them? How do I save them inside of photoshop as jpegs so I can reopen them again???
      Thanks

      Wendy

      Ramon-
      As I learned, the file was 16 bit and therefore couldnt be supported as JPEG!
      Viola!
      Thanks for the knocker...

      Dan,

      Is your image an 8-bit RGB image without layers?

      The JPEG format does not support 16-bit, transparency or layers.

      Will the file save as a JPEG if you go through "Save for Web and Devices" in Photoshop 10.0.1 (CS3)? That does the necessary conversions on the fly.

      More details might help understand what your problem is.

      I have a similar problem. After creating an image from Illustrator and editing it in photoshop I cannot save the pds as a jpg, nor can I open the file as a jpg. Further, if I save as TIF, I still cannot save it as a jpg.

      Anyone---Any help???

      I can drag them over the Safari logo in Dock, they open.
      Control+COPY IMAGE
      In Photoshop:
      command+N
      Command+V
      Flatten
      Save As JPEG
      OK

      But heavens, I've got a few to do this way, drat.

      Wonder what is missing, Safari opens them.
      Wonder what identifier I could add somehow in BATCH.

        Surely there is a way to dig into the files?

        You cannot change a file type just by editing its Type and Creator. You actually have to open each one in Photoshop and save it as a different file type.

        All you did was wreck the images by forcing them to masquerade as something they are not.
