The Cyclic Redundancy Check is just a bit of validation that failed for=20=
that particular file. There should be no harm in opening it if you can,=20=
though it could potentially crash your image viewer. If you are able to=20=
open it, try resaving it to fix the CRC problem.

The Cyclic Redundancy Check is just a bit of validation that failed
for that particular file. There should be no harm in opening it if you
can, though it could potentially crash your image viewer. If you are
able to open it, try resaving it to fix the CRC problem.
