Need a batch jpeg processor / repair tool?
I just need to open jpeg images, save them and close them. Preferably a program with automatic error handling but that's not a huge deal as long as it asks me what to do.
The thing is that my hard drive ate itself and I had to have a computer shop do file recovery for me. That went well. They recovered almost all of my pictures and documents. However, the pictures have bad sizes. An example was a landscape picture that showed as 17.1 MB but once I opened it, saved it and closed it the size dropped to 247 KB
If there is a program that can do this for me automatically that would be great. Or if there is a program that can auto repair these images that would be wonderful as well. I'm looking for something freeware or shareware 'cause I'm broke and I can do this all manually (it will just take a long time)
Eagles Song,
Firstly, they possibly just used a free software called "photorec" or http://www.recuva.com/ which will give you exactly what you have.. Regarding your current issue of bloated file data on the end of your jpegs, you can use the freely software called ImageMagick and use their convert command from the commandline. need some scripting to perform this. assuming you got a folder called rec/img0001.jpg, img0002.jpg you can do "convert rec/*.jpg new.jpg" will create new-1.jpg new-2.jpg that should be acceptable size...
Good luck
Andrew
