I have an old jpeg thats corrupted that im trying to open. The last 6 apps i've tried display the pic, but either output it as a tiny thumbnail, or heavily watermark the image to the point of ruining it. Does anyone know of an app that's free that is actually free to fix busted jpegs? Thanks, anons
r-photo is one of the better free options most free options in this category kinda suck
>>4304405unless I'm retarded, that appears to be an app to recover deleted stuff. I'm looking for something that fix's jpegs that are corrupted, not deleted. That, or I'm too stupid to use it properly???

>>4304773I debated that before posting, but it seems like the photog anons should have some experience in this realm. Besides, /g/ is too broad. If you guys can't come back with anything, I'll try over there...

>>4306409You know nothing.When a JPEG image is corrupt, no application will open it. You need special software to repair the file as it is a heavily compressed format reliant on decompression to deliver the pixels. If something in the chain breaks, the file is "bricked" from normal programs point of view, but recovery software can detect where errors rise and you can replace bad data to fix the problems.A few bad bits can brick a JPEG. Fixing those bits will fix the file, you might lose some 8x8 blocks but the rest can be fine. GIMP won't help with this. GIMP is what you'd use after repair to then edit out the missing blocks to fill in the missing pixels.
>>4310786so far he knows more than you since he's actually recommended software that is free of charge and by your own admission is able to fix busted jpegs
