something has gone wrong with some pics

[spikeyhead]

They're from the wenches holiday and all look like this



any ideas on how to repair them?

They're corrupt, possibly not being read properly off of your storage card, or the card is damaged/failing.

You could try this, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec, but if they weren't completely written to the card then they will be unrecoverable

If they're all like that I'd suspect the camera sensor. Is it still doing the same thing to every image? Have you tried opening the files in PS?

[cottonfoo]

Doesn't look like the sensor to me, that's classic jpeg corruption (can tell
from the block encoding/decoding).

ETA, here's one I've corrupted manually with a hex editor:

May be a bit late, but i had something identical happen to my photos, if i put the card into the built in reader on my laptop (Dell Inspiron) i would get these type of images every now & again, tried my external card reader all good, so stopped using the built in one.
