True.  Also, how did you scan the image?  What software and hardware was
used?  Does the image open in Photoshop if you have it available?  Come
to that, what does ImageMagick make of it?

In my experience one common reason for people not being able to open
valid Photoshop files is that they are in CMYK mode (for commercial
printing) rather than RGB, greyscale or indexed mode.  Even the 'lite'
versions of Photoshop can't open them.
