I am trying to repair corrupted CR2 images
I searched the web and stumbled upon exittool, and maybe it can rescue my images.

Here is an example file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2EbWg9VhdvaQzRUZ0pNWWVfOHM/view

I tried running this command

exiftool -b -JpgFromRaw IMG0001.cr2 > test.jpg

And i got this message

Error: File format error

I don't think they can be rescued but want to hear other peoples opinion on this.

Thank you for your time

This is one of the more common modes of corruption that I have seen.  Unfortunately the entire file is binary zeros, so there is useful information that may be recovered.

Sorry.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thank you for the information at least i will not have false hopes.
