Scalpel doesn't find images that Photorec does?

[shaun-ba]

So, I've done a pass on a drive that found some of my images in photorec.

I made sure the headers of these recovered images were the same as JPG in scalpel's conf, and they were. I also made sure the min:max filesize was more than large enough to cover the image size

Even after this Scalpel cannot find the same images that i've recovered, why is this? It finds some that photorec doesn't, but not the right size, they are all probably thumbnails or caches

Scalpel does not repair broken headers/EOF markers like PhotoRec in Autopsy. If you use a hex editor to manually repair the recovered files, then you will end up with the same images/files.
