A friend has sent me a photo taken on a Motorola V3 camera phone. The picture looks great on my phone: a Samsung D500, so I thought I’d transfer it my PC and post it to the web. However, Photoshop cannot open the file, IrfanView reports the following:

Huffman table 0x00 was not defined

Is there anyway I can view this image on my PC or post it to the web?

I’ve tried Photoshop CS2, Fireworks, IrfanView, and god knows what else – none of them want to open it.

HELP!!!!

I’ve had a problem like this before and I opened it simply (by rightclicking) in Windows-viewer ?

Tried that – all I get is a message saying ‘Drawing failed’. I’ve tried every program that can open graphics on my machine (Win XP Pro) and none of can open the file.
How can this be?
I can view the photo on my phone, but not on my PC?

It is a file’s format problem. ACDSee 8 may be able to open it as it supported many files’ format.

check your file extension and go to option> files association… to associate that extension if available to open.

File associations is NOT the problem here – see my original post.

The photos can be viewed on my phone, but NOT on my PC. When I transfer them, they appear as JPG files.

That’s funny. If it’s a .jpg extension, PC could open it…??? 🙁

Phone manufacturers often use non-standard image formats (or use non-standard modifications to standard image formats). I had a similar problem with images mailed to me by a friend’s camera phone.

Ultimately, I went to the Web site for the manufacturer of the camera phone. The manufacturer had special software which I had to download from the Web site in order to view the pictures. This software allowed me to save the pictures in a way that other programs could read.

OK, I’ve read the current replies, and have a few questions:

1.) What process do you use to "transfer" the file to the PC? Is it a direct transfer via USB/FW? Any software involved, or does XP see the phone as a mass-storage device?

2.) Have you tried e-mailing the image from the phone to yourself?

It seems that either the JPG extension is being mis-assigned to the image, or that the JPG process is being applied by the phone’s software v how other image display SW handles it. Is there any image viewing SW available from Motorola?

One might get "lucky" finding some image-viewing SW that handles this form of file, but that might mean downloading every program available and trying each.

Other than the questions, I don’t have anything to help you. It seems that most camera-phones produce readily viewable files for the PC/MAC – something seems wrong here. Proprietary file format?

Good luck,
Hunt

I transfer the files from the phone to the PC via BlueTooth. I’ve managed to get the original sender to send the picture(s) to me via email and they open fine.

Its just when they sent me them originally. I guess they may have got corrupted in transit!
