MX922 -Problem opening scanned photos saved as jpgs

When I scan a photo, the image is saved as jpg but cannot be opened by Preview or iPhoto. Message: "file is damaged or is in an unrecognizable format." I scan from my pc, as the printer "defaults" to "set the pc to start scanning." The file extension says jpg but in the settings menu pull-down it's listed as jpg exif. Even if I choose png, I get the error message. What's the problem?

Opening a CD with photos saved as JPG.

Hello I've looked through all the "error -43" files I could find. When I insert a Cd that has photos saved from around 2005, most likely from a computer running windows ... I open the picture folder on the Cd, there are no picture icons, so I ask it to display the items as a list this is what the file describes it self as "P1010020.JPG" date modified "Dec 31,1903 7:00PM". Then when I click on a photo to open I get the message "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)." I try finding another application to open the file with but there isn't one available to choose. Any suggestions?

Drag the files on to your desktop first, then open them.

Iphoto - cannot open scanned photo

Cannot find photo, message says "the photo "sc......" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found" then I have the option to cancel or Find photo. And I cannot find photo. Please advise as I have many scanned photos.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Having problems opening a photo in camera raw for editing

Has anyone had problems getting a photo to open in camera raw for editing?
I open a photo and go to edit, then click on full edit, then go to file and click on open as. I then go to the pop-up menu and click on camera raw.
When I click on open, the photo should open in camera raw so I can edit it but nothing happens. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? This progrem has little value if I cant edit my photos. Thanks for your imput.

Hi rlb
Check your plug-in is up to date for your Camera and model. The latest Adobe CAMERA RAW PLUG-IN IS 6.3 (for PSE9)
Open Full Edit and click Help >>About Plug-in >>Camera Raw
Otherwise click Help >>Updates and then follow the on-screen instructions.

HT202358 problems opening I photo after yosemite upgrade

Did you use the iPhoto Library Upgrader to fix your iPhoto Library? Have you upgraded iPhoto to the latest version for use with Yosemite?

Problems Opening A Perviously Saved Project

I have imovie '08 and I mistakenly edited a film using this program before realizing how terrible it is. I edited this project and then saved it on an external hard drive. Now I am trying to open it again in imovie (I have also tried importing it) and it is not working. The file is a iMovie Project and I have been able to open up all the clips that this project uses, they are in my "event library."
I also have the older version on imovie: imovie HD, and I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I got both after I realized this version of imovie is worthless. If there is anyway to bypass the whole imovie '08 problem and just open them up in Final Cut, this would of course be ideal. However, I have not been able to figure this out, and I can't even open up this project in the imovie program that it was uploaded and edited in.
Thank you for you time and patience,
Michael

It is not an issue of PPC <-> Intel. I do this every day and the only thing that happens is that the record path gets lost on the other machine so you have to set it again.
Probably your error message is correct and the file is indeed corrupt - for whatever reason.
This sometimes happens, so I personally save every state 3 times, I had the incident that 2 out of these were corrupt but 1 still working.

Problem Opening Text Photos

I've had many occasions when someone texts me a photo and as I receive it, it says "Download". I tap "Download" but nothing happens and I am unable to view the photo. Since this is also a function I use for my work, it's very important to me what I need to or what I'm not doing correctly. Thanks in advance for your useful advice.

Ann, I thought you meant, "Was the mobile data turned on?" It was not since I had Wi-Fi but I've since turned it on and the photo downloaded nicely. Didn't think I'd need mobile data turned on to download a photo.?.?

Editing TIFF files from camera and saving as JPG

I have searched extensively for this and feel like it must be answered somewhere but haven't found it. Call me an idiot.
I have a camera that can save a picture as a tiff and jpg files simultaneously.
When I open the tiff file in PE2 it is strange. It something like a negative and strange colors. In addition, it seems to have a small portion from the right side that has moved to the left side of the picture.
Does this mean there is something wrong with the tiff files?
I have tried opening it and saving as jpg. Then opening the jpg just shows the same strange image.
Do I need a newer version of PE?
Thanks

Well I found something finally on the internet. Apparently it is a problem with the 2GB SD card in my Panasonic FZ20 properly storing the file. I will have to look into it more. The card is an Ultra II San Disk. The sorry part is that the accompanying jpg is much smaller than if I taken the picture as jpg to start with.
See the following link if you have a similar problem.

HT1338 With recent iphoto update, i can't seem to open any photos. They appear but when i dble click to select a photo to work with, no luck. Any help?

With recent iphoto update, i am having problems opening individual photos. The photos are there when i scroll through, but when i select one to work with, nothing opens. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. I did this, but I still can't open any photos when clicked on; "Faces" don't appear over names; when I try to upload a photo while in facebook...I can't. I think this is when i first discovered the problem. Don't know what else to do except take in laptop.

When I open a photo I saved with PE13, the photo looks good. But when I click on advanced mode, the photo is all pixelated. What is the problem?

When I open a photo file I saved with PE 13, the photo looks good. Then when I click on advanced mode, the photo becomes all pixelated. Any suggestions how to stop this?

The menu selection only shows the other options if you already have a selection active; a selection made with one of the available tools like lasso or quick selection. First select with the tools, then use the menu 'Select'.

Having problem importing scanned jpgs from ScanCafe

I had some old pictures scanned by company called ScanCafe. When loading to LR 5.4 it will load but when you click the thumbnail to develop. It has an exclamation point and give message, Lightroom has encountered problem reading this photo. This same picture will not upload to Flickr getting the message This file failed to upload. But jpg will load in Facebook, SmugMug or Google Photos. I believe that it is the jpgs the problem, but company is saying its not their jpgs.
I've attached a link to the jpg picture maybe you can shed light why this jpg cannot be imported to LR 5

I am not a real computer tech, so this probably isn't going to be a lot of help to you. I encountered the same problem you did. So I next opened the file in Photoshop, made a slight adjustment in brightness. Then I saved and closed the image. Next, I imported it into Lightroom again and was able to work with it in Lightroom without any of the error messages. It looked the way it did when I finished using Photoshop. I don't know how to tell you to fix it any other way. If you have Irfanview you might try that. Or, if you have Photoshop/Bridge and know how to use the image processor you might batch process images and resave them. Then try working with them in Lightroom. Incidentally, when I first opened it in Photoshop I received a message that the file may be damaged or truncated. But I clicked on the button to continue, and got the results I described.

How to scan photos in jpg in windows 8 instead of pdf

I had Windows Vista with photo gallery. Now i have Windows 8 with no photo gallery, but photos in a different format(they say photo gallery is not compatible with windows 8). I used to scan pictures and documents and they were saved in jpg. Now they are saved in pdf and cannot be saved to jpg. Also have cannon printer MG2220. I started to download something, then decided to delete it when it said it wanted to change the hard drive somehow...
Any ideas how to convert the pdfs to jpgs or to reset the thing somehow? Stuff I have read on here is for Windows 7 or XP with photo gallery (which I don't have..or at least I don't think that is the name of it..). donna

I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
But the preview is always the duplicated one...
I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
Thank you very very much in advance!!

As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Can not open photos saved on to PC from iphone 4S

can not open photos saved on to PC from iphone 4S all photos are 3.5 GB

The problem is the photo viewer in the PC. Orientation metadata is stored with the photo and is not being interpreted correctly by the program being used to open it.

Problem opening jpeg file after saving it from photoshop

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 for years and have had virtually no problems. Today I edited a picture from windows "my pictures" file and after editng it in photoshop, I renamed it and saved it as a JPEG back to the original file. It came in a an unopenable file. What is wrong. Just to note, recently I updated my Norton and used a Norton tech, who took conrol of my computer because of certain issues. She deleted some programs and I am wondering if certain drives were affected. I reinstalled my Photoshop Elements 4 from my softward CD in hopes that would make a difference. It did not. What could be the issue?
kphoto editor

I did it... I figured out the problem. Incidentally, there must have been some formatting changes in photoshop that took place since I last used it with success.
The steps I now took. I opened up one of my JPEG picture files, opened up one of the pics with photoshop, edited it.
1. Clicked save as
2. The box came open as to where to save and I saved as JPG file plus I checked the "as a copy" box clicked OK/save
3. The next window that came up was the JPEG option box and I checked the "Preview box" and save
4. A window came up in photoshop asking if I wanted to save (the edits on the original) I clicked no because I wanted to keep the original as is.
5. I closed out of photoshop and there was my edited picture in "my pictures"
I am so glad that I got this all worked out. Thanks to all of you who tried to help me.
