trying to open what is a jpeg image in photoshop, that I have scanned in.
Can't open, and comes up with this message:
"Could not open 'file name' because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"
What? Any help would be great!
corrupted file or it's not a jpeg and the file suffix is wrong - although PS should just cope with that.
Just re-scan it.
Thanks, that what I thought, that can be a job for tomorrow...
You on a Mac? Try opening it in Preview and doing a save as, then open it in Photoshop. I get this problem sometimes with TIFFs.
No, a normal one. Preview in what? (Guess this answer will change as i'm not using a mac)
Yeah, its just a wee bit of Apple software.
🙄
Thanks though.
Make sure you have the following extension:
.jpg
Sometimes this gets lost on the way!
Can you R click it and bring up Properties?
Is there anything there?
Can you see it in My computer?
Try these and we'll go from there...
Ti29er - Thanks for that. it does have a .jpg file name, and when i bring up properties it says it's a Jpeg. I can basically open the file up with any photo software apart from photoshop...
I did some technical stuff just now, which involved opening teh file in paint, then saving as a .tif file. This now opens in photoshop, think I may have fixed it?
I suspect the file was probably always a TIF, and as footflaps suggested it was just the file extension was wrong.
It would be pretty unusual for scanning softweare to save a scan as a JPG (since you almost always want to edit a scan to tidy it up a bit).
