    Do you see black bands when a file open in Microsoft Photo Editor?

    How do the files look when opened in Photoshop Elements?

    I first noticed the black bands on the thumbnails. They are visible when the files is opened in Photoshops and Microsoft Photo Editor. I have tried to attach a jpeg conversion of one of the photos with a band.

    You said you the files on a DVD are fine, is that correct?

    Were the files originally scanned to your hard drive then burned to the DVD?

    Would you be willing to attach one of the tiff files that shows the black band? I would look at the data bits within the file to see if there is corruption and possibly what may have caused it.

    It 'might' be possible for a black band like that to appear on one photo due to data corruption at HDD sector level, but only software would apply that to every photo.
    Something like batch watermarking that went wrong.

    If the images are backed up to DVD, then replace those on the HDD.

    From the jpg that was posted I'm thinking it may have been a scanner glitch.

    I made a DVD copy of the photos shortly after scanning them. Those photos are OK. A few of them later changed in the computer. Let me put it in context. I have scanned about 900 photos as TIF files before donating the originals to a library. About a half dozen of them have developed the black bands. I tried to attach the TIFF file, it hadn't uploaded after 5 min. The attachment code doesn't include TIFF, and my files are about 5 Mbytes. Any suggestions? Could I e-mail it to you?

    Having told us that the backup copies are fine, I discounted scanner problems.

    Right Steve, I was thinking or rather posting outloud so to speak; before thinking about all the available information.

    For file types that are not listed in the Attachment manager, you can always zip them and upload the .zip
    Though your 5mb tif likely will not be less than 500KB.

    You can CC a copy to sledger [at] gmail.com if you wish to email to Bill and I.

    Two heads might be better than one (though this wasn't the case with my mother-in-law )

    I have emailed the photo with band and the same photo from the DVD without band. Please let me know if they arrive OK. If they don't, I'll ZIP them. Thanks.
