Lightroom :: Corrupting RAW Files?
Mar 29, 2014
I've started having some issues with RAW files being corrupted when I open them in Lightroom.
Equipment
Canon 7D, 1 32GB CF card, 1 4GB CF card
Lenovo Laptop, Win 8; Lightroom 4
Dell PC, Win7, Lightroom 5
Here's what the corruption looks like in my Library view. Note that all of the photos are the same. I just rapid-fired a bunch of shots down the hallway to test this out.
I first noticed the corruption on the PC, pulling photos from the 32GB card. I bought a new hard drive (SSD hybrid), installed a clean version of Windows 7, and upgraded to Lightroom 5, then the 5.3 update. I re-downloaded some photos from the 32GB card, and they still show up corrupted. So here is my further testing:
I shot a series of photos like shown above on the 32GB card, downloaded them on the laptop with a new USB cable. The photos look good.I shot a series of photos on the 4GB card, downloaded them to the laptop with the same cord, they look good.I imported the same photos photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC with my existing Lighrtoom Catalog and they are corrupted.I created a new Lightroom Catalog on the PC and downloaded the same photos from the 4GB card and from the 32GB card on the PC and they are corrupted.I think we can rule out corruption or issues on the hard drive, the OS, the USB cable, and both of the CF cards. It baffles me that a new HD, clean OS install, new catalog, new USB cable, and upgraded Lightroom haven't solved the problem. Is it possible that there is some other part of the hardware on my PC which is corrupting the files?

I have exported some files and reimported them into a new catalog. LR either will not let me export the.tiles- saying they are unsupported or if they do export they are damaged.
if I export the files as a new catalog they are fine.
when I check the exported files in windows explorer they have lines going through them.
I am working on my laptop Win 7 64 bit using Toschiba esata external drive.
this is not happening on my desktop just my laptop

I bought an A7R in November and I awaited 5.3 to support the camera, so basically I have both the software and camera new.However, on certain photos on import the files become corrupt in Lightroom with long straight horizontal lines going through the image.
Only random files, off any SD card. I have recently had a new hard drive so it can't be that plus ive used two different SD readers. I have also reinstalled Lightroom.
They open fine in PS and save down as TIFF's just fine, so I'm really at a loss now.
I think the next step is to try on my work laptop with Lightroom installed from creative cloud to see if the same files corrupt on.

1. Workflow is in lightroom version 4.1 Photoshop CS5.5 is used when necessary as secondary workflow
2. Import works fine. "preview thumbnails" appear normal. When I CLICK on the next image it will suddenly do this ^ to the file
3. I have tried taking that EXACT file and running it through Adobe DNG converter but it comes out looking exactly like this... so it seems that lightroom is actually corrupting the file
4. I have a copy of all my raw files on another drive so I can grab those files and they do not have this problem

I opened about 80 CR2 RAW files in Photoshop to preview, tweak a few, and export as PSDs. Clicking the down arrow to see each pic, three different times I got the twirling beachball. After waiting a while I force quit PS and when I opened them again the file that was twirling became un-readable. PS says "File format module cannot parse the file."

My d800 files are corrupting in PS6. I've tried new cards and am starting to think it's the camera. the weird thing is the files can be viewed in the camera but when I import them to my computer they won't open giving a "file corrupt" error. I've tried a hired d800 and had no problems.

My Photoshop is corrupting files in a very destructive fashion, and it seems to be tied to the live rendering of gradients. Not just blur filters, as in this thread [URL] but opacity adjustments in layers, and hue/brightness shifts. This happens usually in files with large dimensions, but not necessarily complicated layer structures.
This type of corruption, which renders blocks, tesselated shapes, or inverts/fills odd layers, seems to be a problem for multiple users, but I haven't seen a solution.
I think I may be the first person to link it directly to the live rendering of gradients- rather than just the blur filters. Anything that has to render a gradated shift across the image seems to be the culprit. Usualy starting as a solid, and ending as a transparent. However, simply adjust hue/brightness over an opaque layer will make the corruption happen as well. Which leads me to believe that this corruption is caused by live on screen rendering of gradient shifts.
Here are my specs:
CS6 13.0.4 x 64
Mac OSX v.10.7.5
3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

We just got brand new systems at work less than a month ago and this event has happened twice since then. When using Photoshop CS5 Extended and using Gaussian blur the file becomes block and all layers as well as their masks become corrupted with these blocks.
Here are my system specs...
Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro5,1 Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 12 L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB L3 Cache (per processor): 12 MB Memory: 16 GB Processor Interconnect Speed: 6.4 GT/s Boot ROM Version: MP51.007F.B00 SMC Version (system): 1.39f11 SMC Version (processor tray): 1.39f11

Corel has suddenly started corrupting any new files I save. I'll make a file, save it, then when I open it... It goes through the motions of opening it, but when it is done nothing opens. There is nothing there.
If I change the file to a zip file and open the riffDATA.cdr file that works, but this CAN'T be my solution. Could a virus have corrupted Corel?

I am using Civil 3D 2013
Every time I go to modify or even just save a previously created block my copy of C3D will corrupt the file. The corruption of the file is not noticeable until I go to insert the block into any other dwg. If I try to insert this modified block into any drawing it will not scale to the correct units. It does not matter if it is a dynamic block or a simple block of a square it will corrupt them all the same way. Extremely Frustrating to stay the least.
P.S. I have tried using the repair tool, re-install and a coplete uninstall and reinstall of AutoCAD C3D 2013 and no change. I also have installed Service Pack 2.

It happened a couple months ago, but I thought it was a bug, and now it's happened again, and now it's corrupting my original files.
Here's what's happening, at least my actions thus far. Lightroom 4 worked fine and dandy. No issues whatsoever. We then upgraded to LR5.
Now, as I'm going in Library tab through images as it's seems to be pulling up an image it shows up with jagged edges and just looks -- corrupted. So then I look at the file in Finder and now that image can't be opened up in Photoshop, Preview or any other application. For some reason LR's previews are corrupting the ACTUAL, ORIGINAL images.
Now back a month ago, it happened when it wasn't a big deal, I had the RAW original files backed up, but now, now it's corrupted at least two folders and the original RAW files can't be opened. Here's the summary:
-- As for corrupt cameras/disks -- I have files from Hasselblaad and from Canon doing this. I have many different cards that were used in this.
-- It's only when I opened up in Lighroom 5. Otherwise files were fine. JPEG conversions that were made from these images weeks ago were fine.
-- It's happening to one out of every 5 pictures or so. Which is A LOT OF PICTURES TO BE CORRUPTED.
For the ones that I have backed up, now I have to go figure out which....rename them...etc. AND HOPE AND PRAY this doesn't happen again.
-- It says it can't open the file.
And then when I go to finder, through lightroom, to RAW image it doesn't work to even bring it in Photoshop.
SO it's corrupting my files so that Photoshop can't recognize them. NOT all photos are being affected, just the folders I go to in Lighroom. Any other files in lightroom (from same day/camera) are okay.

I'm using Lightroom 3 with the catalog on my macbook and original files on seagate firewire goflex external hardrive,
( has happened with 2 different firewire seagate hardrives) Lightroom has been corrupting some images (edits and some originals) randomly, which are then un-retrievable apart from my personal back ups.

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible.

Computer: Dell Optiplex 790, Intel i5-2400 - 3.10 GHz, 8 GB RAM, NVidia Quadro 600 video card, Windows 7 - 64 Bit
Vault: Files are not displayed if opened in Detail view. Must go to the Incon view to display files. Then, switching back to Detail view, file (Vault) status is not shown. If click "Get/Check IN" on file, Vault will crash and shut down. More recently, an HTTP 404: Not Found error appears when clicking on files - may disappear after a wait or clicking on the file repeatedly.
Inventor: Cannot access any files through the Vault tab - Inventor crashes and shuts down. If file opened from Vault instead, it will open and can be saved, checked In/Out.
All of this started a couple of weeks ago shortly after installing Windows Updates. It occurs only on my machine. No other Vault/Inventor user is having any problems. Two IT techs spent a week trying to solve the problem. The only solution was to unistall and reinstall everything including Windows 7. It worked great for a week until another Windows update was installed - now back to the same problems.

Is there a way to remove marks / pimples/etc without "corrupting" the rest of the image?( I mean without being obvious that the image was altered/processed.

when I attempt to add a speech bubble to my picture the original Background corrupts.
I always make a copy of the background to work on, and I make the Original background un-visible to protect it.

After many years of using LR this is the first time I've encountered this issue (see 1st screenshot below). LR is scrambling my files. The affected raw files open fine in other programs, including adobe photoshop cc (see 2nd screenshot).

Deleting files and saving files brings up an error message. Files can't be deleted from lightroom which makes editing a nightmare. Also Saving Files (raw of jpeg), brings up an error message everytime.

Following previous LR upgrades (3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6), old files were automatically removed from the Program Files folder. However, I just upgrades from 3.6 to 4.0 and notice that the old files are still on my hard drive in the 3.6 folder. Do I need to keep these files or can I UNINSTALL LR 3.6?

The issue probably has to do with the differences in settings. I am using the 64 bit version of Windows 7.I imported a group of pictures with the XMP sidecar files generated with Lightroom v3. All the image files, a mixture of Canon Mark 5D II RAW and jpg files from my point & shoot UFO camera, imported without issue picking up all my tagging and GPS settings. When importing you are put into the Library module and from the Library module I could click on any RAW or jpg file, look at the meta data and view full screen.
I then entered the Develop module with a jpg picture selected and none of my settings made it across. The process was set to 2012. I was able to try out the new adjustments and all worked very well.I then selected a RAW file while still in the Develop module and all hell broke loose.
I got a tip window pop up, the film strip went orange, the rest of the app screen then became greyed out and then behind tip pop up a crash window containing this information appeared:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: lightroom.exe
Application Version: 4.0.0.1
Application Timestamp: 4ef2621d
Fault Module Name: MSVCR100.dll
Fault Module Version: 10.0.40219.1
Fault Module Timestamp: 4d5f034a
Exception Code: c000041d
Exception Offset: 000000000003c1be
[code]....
There was no other path but to have the app close after that. Now since Lightroom has left off with the RAW file in the develop module when I restart the app it starts in the develop module with that same RAW image selected and I crash before I can change to a jpg. I am probably going to have to delete and recreated the data file to use the app again
After the all this I went back and checked to see how I had the catalog settings in LR 3 set because there were no sidecar files for the jpg images. I did not have the option to write settings to jpg and tif files but did have write settings to sidecar set. So I have a bit of a mystery why I have no sidecar files for jpg files when I should have based on the way the settings were. This probably explains why I had no issues at all with them in LR 4.
I am going to get LR 4 working again and then import the same batch of pictures without any sidecar files and see if I have any issues. I will report back soon.

I'm using LR 4.3, and would like to know how to determine which .dat cache files are associated with a certain folder of images. I don't know programming code, and, when I open a .dat cache file, I cannot determine which image file it goes with.
I've noticed that when I remove a folder from Lightroom, the cache files for the images in that folder remain, because the size of the cache doesn't change. I know I can flush the cache, but I don't want to have to reload tons of .dat files already present in the cache.

I am currently using a Nikon D7100 and recording my photos in the Raw/NEF-RAW format. Recently, whenever I am uploading my photos to Lightroom 5, my photos are changing to .dng files rather than staying in the NEF file. When I go and look back at my previous imports from the past few times, they are in NEF and NOT in .dng. Why is this doing this and how do I turn this feature off so that my files remain the same going from my camera to my computer through importation.

I just upgraded to a 5D and LR4.. when I import the files load as CR2 files, not DNG files. When the files import it takes 4 files to find them. It also will not recognize the file names in the library. How do I fix this to import like it did in LR 3??
