I've got a bunch of files where I'm getting this error. Also:

Not a valid TIF
Not a valid PNG
etc...


These files may have been saved directly from a camera (Panasonic ZS-1) or edited at one point in either Photoshop CS5 or Paint Shop Pro 5. At any given point, they were valid files which opened fine using one of those applications, and all of a sudden they appear to be corrupted and no longer open.

Is there any way to fix these files?

Often such files may open in other applications.

For example, a JPG may error with Photoshop here.... but opens fine in GraphicsConverter... so it just need to be opened and re-saved from the other application.

Barring that.. the file is hosed... you can't generally "fix" the file.
