These are apparently HEIF/HEIC files, that are getting a JPG extension for some reason. Change the extension to .heic and Photoshop 2022 will be able to open them.

Hi there,

 

Sorry that you're getting an error message " Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found" when trying to open files.

 

Which version of Photoshop are you using and what is your operating system?

 

Would you mind checking the steps mentioned in this article https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-invalid-jpeg-marker-displays.html and let us know if that helps?

 

Thanks,

Akash
