What does the following error message mean

Corrupt JPEG data 485 extraneous bytes before marker 0xdb

I love these questions where the main forensic test is finding out what the questioner is actually asking.
)

what generated this error ?

it looks like an error in the standard JPEG library that's going to have been linked into several programs.

however looking at the source code that (most likely) generated the error it looks as if the file in question doesn't contain the appropriate marker where is should.

0xdb is the tag for the start of quantisation tables, which in jpegs are fairly critical.

the file is corrupt (yes really 😯 )

there might be some mileage in trying to open it in some other application which is a bit more forgiving of this corruption, however you'll need to find one that is not using that particular JPEG library.

I now have the mental image of you skipping down the road to work. If I was walking the other way down the street, i'd probably be scared.
