Re: [Gimp-user] gimp users matter

[Phil <skeggy78 gmail com>]

Sorry i should have been more specific.. (and i know its not Gimp 
specific, just a fellow photographer looking to help a friend)

I have some pictures taken on an Sony DSC-W510 digital camera, and they 
are/have become corrupted? the thumbnail shows up, in windows(win7) & 
osx(10.6), debian 7.2 must be different as it shows the corruption up in 
thumbnail preview, but when viewing the full picture, it only shows up a 
corrupted view and this seems to be about 5 to 10 percent of the image 
coming down.

The Exif data seems to be all present (all 3 os's), and the programs 
that i have tried, inc gimp/picasa/CS6 photoshop/serif photoplus, all 
have a corrupted image.

I have tried stella recovery, jpeg doctor, hetman photo, jpegrec, 
jpeg-repair (im sure there was more)... and was just looking for somone 
who might have some knownlege.

i have even downloaded an Hex editor, and well, started to look through 
the information, but it looks like a large amount of information to go 
through..

Ill try your suggestion Elle, just seen your email come through, i have 
debian powered up at the moment, so ill give it ago :)

cheers

Phil
