Anyone have a piece of software they’ve had good luck repairing damaged JPEG’s with? One of the girls at work came to me with her vacation pics she just pulled off her camera and a bunch of them are bad.
Example:
lol that guy in the glasses could be me.
JPEG Recovery Pro = fail. http://www.hketech.com/JPEG-recovery/
PixRecovery = fail. http://www.officerecovery.com/pixrecovery/index.htm
Both said they recovered the file but all they did was add their demo watermark to the broken image.
I think she’s SOL unless she can stich together multiple broken images like a puzzle.
… and from that pic, it looks like a vacation she might want to forget, lol.

if you need an invite PM me.
Yeah, so far the recovery apps I’ve tried (including the ones pirite posted) haven’t done shit.
photoshop
CS5 did nothing but, “hey, your photo looks like it’s broken, do you want to try opening it anyway?”. At which point it opened with just the top part that isn’t messed up. 
So, Are you doing this just to see if you can, or to see if there are interesting photos?

Just trying to help out a coworker. And figure learning if this is possible could be helpful to me as well if it ever happens to some of my pictures.
I fixed it in photoshop :shrug:
They’re FUBAR’d. The only way to reconstitute the data correctly is manually. Did her camera go through the X-ray scanner, or by a powerful electromagnet?
Airport x-ray scanners won’t hurt it. My DSLR’s and P&S’s have gone through countless times with no issues.
Depends on the camera and the scanner, the machines use electromagnets to produce x-rays. I’ve seen both damaged film and digital information from scanners - just not neccesarily in the US.
- Correction, it was from the CT scanners that we had damage.
