Problem Saving

[enak]

I have some jpg files that I have to edit. However, when I save some of them (I think that it is random) and then try to reopen them I get the following error:

Could not open
"path to the image" because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

It's hard to say exactly what the problem is without more details, but Photoshop would normally save files that it can read back, of course. My guess would be that your original files are somehow slightly corrupt. A simple way around this would be to open the original JPEG, "save as" a TIFF, close the original, reopen the TIFF and "save as" a JPEG with a new filename.

I also read somewhere that in the JPEG options, you shouldn't use "baseline optimized" for best compatibility.

Photoshop is a little touchy with reading corrupt JPGs. While I cannot help with why it is corrupting them, you can re-open faulty JPGs with xnview (xnview.com, freeware) and resave them to a new JPG that Photoshop can open.
