VeeDubb Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 i REALY need the assistance of someone with some serious GIMP/photoshop skills to help me. I have a picture from a recent "once in a lifetime" trip to Disney Land and i took my digital camera. One the trip I got a phot of my fiance (girlfriend at the time) with Eyor, who is her favorite character. The pictures got dumped on my harddrive a while back with the intention of printing the good ones later and burning the, to CD for back-up, but I never got around to it. Today I went to print and burn and found that several of the pictures, including the one with eyor, were correupted and I desperately need to fix them, especialy that one. When I look at the preview icons in kde, they look fine, but when i open the pictures with gimp, or kuickshow or anything else, they are corrupted, the bottum half is the wrong colors. I will attatch the important one and if anyone can fix it I will be eternaly greatfull to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted January 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 having trouble attatching it, if you think you can help let me know and I'll email it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I never had any luck fixing images such as you described. I have been able to force open (with other programs) and salvage some that photoshop did not want to open due to corruption problems. Another way to go about this... that is if your camera uses a flash card (or similiar) is to use a program to recover lost files on it (figuring you most likely cleared the card after dumping them and quite possibly have not used it since). I am willing to give it a try or send you the recover program if you like. scoopy82 at yahoo com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Is the pic still on your memory card? if so try d-loading it again. My wife is pretty good with photoshop, so try attaching the image again, if not you can e-mail it to me also: anon@kernow-uk.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 (edited) I'll be in photoshop and IrfanView a little today. You can email it to me at bvcmdk@yahoo.com Edited January 24, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 That IrfanView is a handy and a must have for pictures. That's the program (windows only) that I have used to open up problem jpeg's. http://www.irfanview.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 (edited) yes, it has repaired a few on mine. Detects a prob upon opening and ask if you want it fixed. I love it. Yet, another reason I haven't given up win. Wish it ran in vmware or wine...or better, a linux port. Edited January 24, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I will try IRfanview with my fiance's laptop if I can stay online long enough to downlaod it. (My ISP has been ULTRA-flakey) If not, I'll try and email it to a couple of you. Thank you for the replies, it means a lot to me. The thing that gets me is that the litle preview icon in kde has no error.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
