File corrupted

[Francesca B]

Impossible to open file, error message below. 

 

This is the second time something of this nature has happened in the past few weeks. Is there any way to recover the file? Please advise, I need urgent help!

 

 

Application version: paint.net 4.2.8

You are trying to open a file as an jpeg image, but it doesn't have a valid jpeg header.  Are you sure your file wasn't give an incorrect file extension?

Can you open the image with another imaging program? Such as IrfanView?

 

Please don't forget to create backups of important data.

It might even be a .PDN image, so rename it to that could help.
