Picture shows fine in thumbnail, but not when I double click it

[dufffman]

Hi,

I have pictures from when I went to Europe last year in a folder. I
view them on the thumbnail view in the folder, and everything looks
fine. When I double click on the picture I cant see the whole picture.
I can only see the top 1mm of the picture on the Windows Picture
Viewer.

Any ideas? Its only on this one picture, but unfortunately is one of
my favorites. . Any help would be much apprecitead.

Cheers,

Don't let the next line scare you yet:

It sounds to me like the file might have been corrupted sometime AFTER the
thumbnail was built. What i suggest you do is make a copy of it and open the
copy in Windows Paint or another program. Let me know if that helps. If you
can see the whole thing, go to File-Save As and save yet another copy and see
if Windows Picture and Fax viewer can see the whole thing.

I tried that. But even when I opened it in Paint, IE, HP Premier Photo
Editor, but only the top opened up fine. Any ideas on what I can do
about this?

Cheers,

Is the size of the file relatively the same as the size of the other
pictures? If so, you might be able to save it with a "corrupt" image repair
program.

Mark,

The size is about 1.3mb, about the same as all my other pics, so I am
guessing all the data is there, but its somehow corrupted. Could you
give me an example of what is a corrup image repair program and where
can I download it?

Many Thanks!
