I have a large *.NEF file and I can see it in NikonView 6 albeit pixelated when the image is enlarged to 50 or 100%. When I try to edit with Nikon Editor or Photoshop CS I get error messages: "can’t open File"& unexpected end of file was encountered" respectively.
Can anyone help me with a repair program?

The reason you see a pixelated version is because NikonView uses the preview, not the image itself. If the image is corrupted this way, I’m not sure there is anything you can do.

If you still have the card from the camera with the image on it, you could use a program like Image Recall (http://www.imagerecall.com). I have no connection with them other than I’ve saved our photographers from several re-shoots by using that program.

You can certainly try, but don’t get your hopes too high. Such programs are for retrieving images from flash cards that have been formatted, not for repairing images that were corrupted somehow.
