Recovered JPG / NEF not all there

[pqr]

Hi,

 

Some of the files that are recovered, JPG / NEF, are viewable as thumbnails in Internet Explorer, IE, but do not open if double clicked or in Picasa, PSE9, IRFAN etc. Is there aything that can be done about those? The image eithers come up grey, sometimes with a strip of the original image, sometimes the image is just scrambled lines and "noise", sometimes just "INVALID IMAGE" on a black background.

 

I have heard a JPG is stored within all NEF files so perhaps IE is showing that in some cases? If so is there a way to extract the JPG if the NEF is corrupted?

 

Regards

Hi,

Just answered my question, to a degree. The Preview Extractor will produce a JPG from a corrupted NEF. Success,or not, is obviously dependent on the amount of corruption, but I have had good JPG results from NEF files that just showed multi coloured "snow".

 

Any other suggestions gratefully received
