Have image jpg's but they won't open CAN'T ATTACH

[medievalartrat]

Hi and thanks for reading this!

 

I'm up in the middle of the night, problem solving these pics for my book.

 

I took some luscious pics of food for an upcoming self published book with my phone's camera.

 

I have 233 pics that were on my samsung intensity 2 phone.  Then I went to format my new sd card, so I could move the pics to my computer.  When I did that, I inadvertantly erased the pics. 

 

Then I downloaded recuva and got orange dots next to my images, which took 4 hours to download.  When I saved them on my computer, I am unable to open them as images.  I can open them, but they are filled with gook text.  They are all listed as jpg's

 

I have attached a file, so you can take a look at it. No - the files won't attach.  I get an error message.

 

I would really, really like to use these pics so I appreciate your thoughts on the matter!
