Hi - is it possibel they are jpeg 2000.

There is a free online converter here if you don't have too many?

Or is it possible your scanner software can convert them, since it obviously knows them.

EDITED TO ADD:

OK - preview can open and save jpeg 2000 files, so you can use preview to covert them.

Select them all - open in preview, then select them all in preview and choose export.

When I scanned pictures from my printer/scanner to my computer, it saved them that way. It's an option but I didn't choose that option. Unfortunately I don't have the photos anymore so can't rescan them. I appreciate your trying to help me. I'll keep trying to figure it out.

You are a genius! It worked! I was always able to see them myself, but when I sent a thumb drive of the pictures to my sister, she couldn't read them. Now she will be able to. Thank you so much!!!
