Photo files are there, but photos aren't..??

Ladies and gents,

I had saved some digital photos (jpegs) to a folder in mid-summer. Had viewed and edited them a few times w/out probs. Now, when I try to open the files (with either Dell Image Expert, Photoshop, etc), the files are listed as being there, but there are no photos. Foe example, when I try to open with Photoshop, it says "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)".

Any idea what gives, and if these files are recoverable?

Mucho thnx!

 

See if Irfan can open them

I'm seeing errors like yours with Adobe Photoshop but some wer able to open the jpegs in a different program.

Try this program to see if it can recover your jpg files

Only try one file and use the same file with each program; the less you manipulate the jpg files, the better your chances of recovery.
