Invalid JPEG marker

So, just got a new PC and have installed LR5 and PSE15.

When trying to export RAW files (cr2 and NEF) from LR to PSE as jpegs using Ctrl/Alt/E or through the menus, PSE displays a msg .....

"could not complete you request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"

I also do NOT get the normal option box with the choices, "edit a copy using LR adjustments, edit a copy or edit original"

PSE just opens with the error msg.

The file names appear to be normal jpeg type: ei; _____.jpg

It seems LR is corrupting these files somehow.

If I try to open any other jpegs from disk they open normally in PSE

Any help Please !!!!

Hi Johnny,

Please take a look at this article Invalid JPEG Marker error when opening images in Adobe Photoshop and follow the steps mentioned,(though the article is specific to Photoshop, but the solution might help).

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Thanks....

Yes, have already done all that.

What I don't understand is that it is LR itself that is creating and naming the JPEG file when I try to export the raw file as a JPEG.

Kinda crazy.

I have used this method on my old PC for years with no problems, admittedly with PSE10, not 15.

I have checked the file handling options in LR and there doesn't seem to be anything unusal there.

The plot thickens .....

Changed the additional external editor to PSE10 and it works fine.

However I can't use 10 with my QHD screen.

Changed it back to PSE 15, but this time used "Photoshop Elements 15.0.exe" as the extension to send it to.

PSE15 opens, but there is no open file, or no "invalid JPEG marker" msg.

Just an empty screen.
