While creating a wedding album in Blurb, some photos upload normally but others are rejected with a message saying the file is corrupted, empty, or doesn’t exist. The files appear to be there, and I want to include them in the album. What can I do to get these images accepted by Blurb?

I'm assuming you already checked the integrity of those files (ie. file exist, you can open it and see the picuture).
I have three suggestions:
1- Use Picasa to upload the pictures that were not accepted by Blurb. There is a place in the Blurb website that explains how to do that.
OR
2- Pass those problematic files in the Picasa file exporter and save them in a specific folder. After that, luckily Picasa will "fix" any file corrupted for any reason. Than you can try to upload them again.
OR
3- Either using Picasa or any other application, export those files from the original format (JPG? PNG? TIFF?) to another format and try to upload those new files.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
First, confirm the rejected files actually open correctly on your computer. If they do, the issue may be with how Blurb reads those image files.
Common fixes are:
- Re-export the problem images using photo software such as Picasa or another editor.
- Save them into a fresh folder as new files.
- Try exporting them to a different image format, then upload those new versions.
- If Blurb supports uploading through Picasa, try that workflow instead of your current method.
Re-exporting often resolves minor file-header or compatibility problems even when the original image looks fine. If the files truly are damaged, opening and resaving them from the original source may also help.
In short: verify the files, then create fresh exported copies and upload those instead of the originals.
