Two different files can be be different yet be the same size,
but would not have the same checksum.
If it is supposes to be the same image oe song, convert it to a different
format, if you have "ImageMagick" installed, (in LINUX) enter:
"convert Image1.jpg Image1.png" to both then compare the sizes (with no
encapsulated text info) look at both PNG's to see of there is a problem
with one or the other.
I have never found a checksum checker for LINUX to create or verify a
file's CRC value, like I had in DOS. That I can recall.
