Hello, all
The other day I noticed that most of my pictures are corrupt. They mostly are all jpegs (.jpg) and are "messed up." It looks as if only a few bits are corrupt, which causes the rest of the photo from a certain point to only contain certain colours, or be grey. Attached are some examples of the corrupt jpegs (scaled for upload).
The photos that are grey from a certain point in the picture can't be loaded by gimp.
The first thing I did when I noticed these problems was to restore from my backup. My deja-dup and Back In Time backups wouldn't restore for some reason. The pictures in my manual backup (folder copy) were also corrupt. It seems as this problem only happened with my pictures, as my documents and music seem to be intact.
I want to get my pictures back, if possible (duh). Does anyone know of some software which may help me accomplish this? Should I post my problem at a different site?
I hope this in the right section of the forums. If it isn't, or could be in a better place, please let me know.
