Correct answer occulus.nigra

Something similar happens to me sometimes with files received from elsewhere. What I do is open in some other program... such as Windows Paint... and immediately save as a tiff file. (Usually opens in a program like that.) Then I place the 'new' version in Photoshop.

I resave as a tiff because jpg is lossy and this way I don't incur further loss on an already lossy file.

I ran into the same error message and when I tried opening the .JPG in multiple applications (Preview on MacOS, various web browsers, Windows Paint, etc.), I tried opening it in Adobe Illustrator and I was able to view it. You just have to select the object and unembed the image, then save it in either .PSD or .TIF format.

Hi

Can you clarify what you are doing.

You say open a new image but it actually looks like you are trying to open an image file. It also looks like that particular file is corrupt. Have you tried opening an alternative jpeg file that you have previously opened OK.
