take a new picture.

Answer 2

scandisk and lexar have programs to attempt to recover photos from flash cards that are corrupted might try to move file to a flash and use makers software to fix it this has no risk as the file on the hard drive is not manipulated .

i have never used this looks likely to help, save the file to removable disk and work on it not the original file
