This looks helpful <http://voices.yahoo.com/how-fix-invalid-jpeg-marker-not-valid-photoshop-7420332.html> I use terminal and do 'more <filename>' to look at the file directly. Lots of times you'll find that it isn't actually a .jpg file. You should see something like this: more Bq8nCbzIYAAjruB.jpg "Bq8nCbzIYAAjruB.jpg" may be a binary file. See it anyway? <FF><D8><FF><E0>^@^PJFIF^@^A^A^@^@^A^@^A^@^@<FF><DB>^@C^@^H^F^F^G^F^E^H^G^G^G You want to see 'JFIF' in that first line. If you see something more like this: more acacia.psd "acacia.psd" may be a binary file.

Also, you can try stripping the .jpg off of the file name and throw it at Graphic Converter...that program has always been good at guessing formats via file headers. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are."
