I just recently bought a new computer, so I thought I could at last use Photoshop CS3, but apparently it does not like jpg’s that are rotated (with lossless jpg conversion) in Irfanview.

Until this point every file works, even those jpg’s which are not rotated. The error report can be seen here: <http://oranse.kapsi.fi/cs3error.txt>

Are there any suggestions for a solution or workaround?

[EDIT]
OK, I can now open the images via Camera RAW.
But I still consider this as an issue, although not a severe one, because I intend to shoot everything on RAW from now on. But there are still tons of old photos on JPG to be postprocessed.

If you "un-rotate" them in Irfanview do they open normal in CS3? If so think you can see solution.

That isn’t necessarily a solution since "lossless" operations on jpegs is something of a misnomer. All it means is that they are not recompressed. To quote the Irfanview help file:
"Note: Lossless JPG operations like flip or rotate work only if the image height is a multiple of 16 (JPG specification). If this is not the case, unused image lines will be removed.
Note: Your original JPG file will be changed/overwritten!"

As far as I can tell, the same applies in all programs offering jpeg lossless transformations.
