Repairing JPG Image Files

[FlamesAddiction]

Does anyone know of a way to fix corrupted JPG image files? I accidently erased some photos that I now need. I used a file recovery program to retreive them, but about half of them cannot be opened. They were all supposedly in poor condition though, but the ones that open look fine and are about the same size as the ones that won't open.

I have heard that their are techniques you can use to "fix" them. Does anyone know?

I understand that once a jpg becomes corrupted or loses data, it cannot be restored. Unless of course you have peices that you can fit together from other files, but that's difficult.

Nooooo.

I'm in trouble if that's the case.

I can open some of them in paint but only a smally fraction of the picture still exists near the top.

The rest won't open at all. I just get a message saying that the format is not valid.

Ya, it sounds like when you had them deleted, a portion of the files were written over and you lost the data. You can't get it back.
