"Not a Tiff file" error

[sagew@adobeforums.com]

I had a recent computer meltdown and had to wipe out the HD and reinstall Pather. Running Photoshop 7.0.1. When I try to open files I get "Can't open because ****.tif is not a valid .tiff file." Same with jpg's, "unknown or invalid jpeg marker type is found." Please help. If I can't get these files open I'm in a world o' hurt.

try to 'open as' RAW or Photoshop.

Odds are that they're too corrupt to open.

You can try opening them in other applications and see if you can re-save them, but I wouldn't count on it.

One such application you should try is Garphic Converter. You can get it through versiontracker:

It's shareware and a demo is available.

Or if it's a newer Mac, Graphic converter may already be installed on your machine.

Thanks, Jason. I keep forgetting that.
