1.2 Analyses

1.2.1 Analysis

Is it a bug in the validating software? - no

1.3 Possible solutions

1.3.1 Remake with ImageMagick

1.3.1.1 Suggestion

If the bits are not completely missing, use ImageMagick. If the bits are missing JHOVE reports ‘Expected marker byte 255 ‘ from JPEG-HUL and in that case 4 bytes can be added starting from position 7 in the file. Otherwise, the file more thoroughly corrupted.

1.3.1.2 Effects

1.3.1.3 Justification

1.3.1.4 Execution example

ImageMagick: convert <input> <output>
