I did exactly that. Saved "tcp stream"as raw data, manually stripped the header, and saved as jpg. This is pretty easy with a small file (30KB}. When I download a larger jpg, i recieve multiple headers midstream. The  header info somtimes runs into the raw data. Its a long process trying to edit exactly to reproduce the image. Furthermore even though the image sometimes opens properly, the sha1 value doesnt allows match that of the original image proving that my reassembly isnt perfect.

I think I need a filter that will remove header bytes or seperate software that can accomplish this in the raw data file.. Any ideas?

Well that's basically what you're doing. Check the raw button and save
the data from the "Follow TCP Stream" window. But all the data is saved,
not just the JPEG-data so you have to cut the http-headers and things
like that.
