Problem Parsing the JPEG Data??

Hey guys, have only just downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud suit after using stand alone programs for years, and this is also happening to me. I'm hoping someone working for the developers is reading this cause if I'm going to PAY for this 'service' I expect it to do the thing its telling me it can DO.  I have never had this problem with other versions of photoshop, and it extremely frustrating that an Industry Standard program that claims its the best thing ever would be better off opening images in MS Paint first because of a ridiculous bug. I am really really disappointed that I'm giving them money to have access to a half-assed program that cant cope with a simple .jpg file- the most commonly used. Seriously guys, get your act together or I'm pulling my subscription.

Thanks all forum commenters for your suggestions and help.

Easy fix on PC.. Open Image in paint and save again with new name. Job done!

Very simple, In MAC open it in preview and duplicate it, then save as png or tiff or any format available there. In windows, open it in the paint and save as in your desired format. Thanks, Saroj Ray from Nepal

The easiest solution I have found and been able to replicate each time with proper results is just copying the images in question to a new folder without any special permissions set to it. Then I batch run them through software such as ImageOptim which completely strips the files of any metadata that may have been inserted along the way. It seems to be a frequent thing with photos from Instagram so I am guessing this is where the error starts. Once the metadata is stripped they open fine without any sort of re-saving or exporting.

So I found a quick workaround...if you open the image in Acrobat you can then select the image in acrobat, right click, then save as.  Rename the image and it will open fine in photoshop.  Weird to have to do it, but it is quicker than opening another paint software.

Workaround, not a solution.

Doesn't open with Media Encoder, Premiere Pro either. I'm guessing the JPEG parser from Adobe is incomplete/faulty.

Adobe, please fix this!!

Thank you!!! The 8 steps in the first post worked flawlessly on my Mac, OS 10 El Capitan, Photos Version 1.5.

I had the same problem and managed to get around it,

Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Camera Raw Preferences > "JPEG and TIFF Handling" - Click the dropdown and select "Automatically open all supported JPEGs/TIFFs" and click OK, this brings up a new import modal when I try and import now, but worked for me,

Hope this helps someone else

This is not an answer.  There is no reason on earth for the 'Best' image application on earth to be the ONLY application on earth with this issue.  Where is the monthly payment discount for the lack of support?

Adobe really needs to pull their heads out of their asses. This exists for MANY people and FOR A LONGGGGGGGGGGG TIME. It is truly sad that the answer is to open with paint, do nothing and save. I SHOULD NOT have to do that with this hyper expensive program. PLEASE FIX THIS AND STOP YOUR EXCUSES ABOUT BRIDGE...
