Adam Tow, a fine chap and the purveyor of nifty software products, including a veritable flash card full of absurdly useful packages that I use daily on my Newton, has released JPEG-JFIF Repair. This program, surprisingly enough, basically does what it says. Certain digital cameras create what are seemingly valid JPEG files, but those same files do not conform to the JFIF specification, which can cause problems when applications attempt to embed colour profiles. Although an image with malformed JFIF tags will not generally affect it’s opening or viewing, it could potentially become an issue when trying to use the same image in a colour-managed environment. Having worked with thousands of JPEG images before, all with embedded profiles, I can tell you that incorrect file headers are be the bane of an otherwise well-oiled workflow. Thanks Adam. Your software is the berries.
