[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1722830"] If they won't open as images, they aren't your pictures. Or they aren't the ENTIRE picture. Image files have a bit of header which tells the opening application what the image is in technical terms. If that's mangled, then the picture won't display. In any event, if you've tried renaming and just opening them and they don't, then either they are NOT images or they got mangled beyond usability. At this point, I don't have any advice for you. You might, if the pictures are really important to you, try one of the hard drive rescue applications--Disk Doctor, Drive Genius, etc. I don't know if they work on cards and they cost a lot, but it's up to you.
