Opening JPEG fileTo start repairing a broken JPEG file, you need to open it in JpegMedic. Use the File > Open menu command to browse for a JPEG file and open it. You can also Drag&Drop files from Explorer to JpegMedic. Opening arbitrary filesOne of JpegMedic's strengths is that it can work not only with individual JPEG files, but also with arbitrary files that contain JPEG images in them. For example, a damaged RAW file created by a contemporary camera contains a JPEG preview that you can recover using the program. Such a preview can actually have a decent resolution, so the game is often worth the candles, especially if the original file is severely damaged and does not open at all. Opening disk imagesJpegMedic cannot work with physical storages (such as flash drives) directly. Instead, you can create a disk image using any third-party tool available to you, and then open such a disk image in JpegMedic. The program scans the opened file automatically and if it detects the file is a disk image, JpegMedic attempts determining its file system. The following file systems are supported: FAT12/FAT16/FAT32/exFAT/ISO. Note, that the Home license of JpegMedic can only open the first 10 found images, and processing of file systems is only available in Professional and Forensic licenses. If the file system of the disk image is damaged, JpegMedic may not be able to determine its type and build the correct list of clusters. Consequently, the program also incorrectly locates the existing files in the image. However, you can still try to work with such a disk image. Turn off the Ignore FAT table option in the File menu, then try to open the disk image again. The program will ignore FAT, and will search for JPEG images using signatures only. Multi-volume disk images (.001, .002, etc) are processed automatically, you only need to open the first volume manually. You can also open compressed disk image files created by various forensic software such as Encase or AccessData FTK as long as your JpegMedic license allows that. |
