I'm attempting to touch up a picture from an Android phone, on PSE 15, it won't open and getting an error message "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the JPEG data" This is the first time I've attempted touching up an Android picture. I'm running W10, ver 1803 Thanks Wayne

More knowledgeable members will know ... Try making a copy and rename the file also with the "jpg" extension. Might work. Long shot. Good luck. Clive

Also, you might try taking it into the free, excellent IrfanView and resaving it in the same or different format (with a different name). IrfanView can often clean up funkiness in a file.

I have not heard of that program; thanks for the tip!

I'm running W10, ver 1803 Thanks Wayne What is more and more frequent today is that you have to edit jpegs coming from Facebook, Whatsapp or similar. Very often, those files are not recognized as valid formats because they have unsupported data in the metadata (exif) header of the files. Adobe softwares won't open those files whereas simpler tools will totally ignore those differences. The solution is to open the files and resave them in other programs like Irfanview as suggested in this discussion. I can also recommend FastStone or XnView.

Thanks very much for the help, Irfanview did the job, and I'm able to correct the picture! And I learned something new!
