Unfortunately I have found some corrupt CR2 files in my library (less than 1% so not general problem, files have been moved to my current machine from other source).
Inside Lightroom the photos (Library Grid view) are marked with an exclamation mark in the upper right corner.
Is there a way in Lightroom to search for all files which have such corruption problems? It is a rather large library to scroll through manually.
When importing some JPG files into Lightroom 5, it is claiming it cannot generate a preview, and then on import claiming they are corrupt. However, these files import with LR3, and open with Photoshop, Picasa, OSX Preview. The images and metadata all appear to be fine. Other photos from the same camera and shoot import correctly into LR 5.
And how do I get LR5 to correctly import these files?
The camera files seem to be just fine, but my jpg files frequently get corrupt on export. They get these random horizontal lines through them, as well as big gray sections that begin part way through the file. If I re-export them, they usually come out all right. I would like to pin down the cause. I'll change the process priority from normal to realtime for now and see how it goes.

AFter I sort the images by subject I import them to Lightroom for the final touches. Not so with Lightroom 4.2 and Nikon D600..Adobe says if yousue transfer than 4.2 will not recognize the files and too bad ...as a company they are going downhill..I hope they correct the problem so I can import the 1500 images into Lightroom for final conversions.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI Upgraded recently from LR2.6 to 3.3. Many of my images have an Exclamation Mark on them, following the upgrade, informing me that there is a Metadata Mismatch.. When I click on it I get this Dialogue box:
Firstly I think LR developers are playing with potentially important information with a lack of care and consideration. I looked at the metadata in 'File Info' in Photoshop before clicking anything: the creation date was the date the file was created and much of the camera data was missing. After I clicked Overwrite Settings all the original data was back on the file. How this came to pass exactly, but it shows metadata is an easily lost thing. If Adobe care about their customers I would think they would make it more clear what was at stake here!
Secondly I would like to know if there is a way to search for all images with this issue to save me having to go through and do it one by one, possibly thousands of times?
I'm using Lightroom 5.2RC. Not sure if this started happening with the 5.2RC version or if it's been an issue for a while.
While in Library mode, when I choose a library search filter preset, say all 5 stars, and then toggle the filter off and on again, the search criteria randomizes to something wildly different than what I was just searching for, for example, adding text and metadata to the search queries when I only had star attributes selected a few seconds before.
I've experimented with turning the filter lock icon on and off and that seems to have no effect. Switching between folders in my catalog and toggling search off and on, results in the same random search criteria being generated.
Lightroom 4.2 – the situation is this, I have a number of pictures of group shots with many people. I tag each person in each photo. I show my photos to these people and they would like a print of photos with them in it. I am an amature photographer currently located in India where most people have no cameras, so I normally oblige if someone wants my of them pictures printed. On one such occasion I took a week long trip with some friends.After showing them the pictures I tagged “Print for Raju”, “Print for Priya”, “Print for Varun”. The problem arises now when I try to search keywords in the “contains all” section, “print for varun” doesn’t do an exact search. Rather if Raju wanted a picture of Varun printed, that picture would have the tag “Varun” and “print for Raju” and which would make the photo included in my search “print for varun” even if varun doesn’t want the picture.
Is there a way to search EXACTLY what I type? If my picture has 15 tags, “contains all” will search all those tags and if it can piece together the three words I am searching for out of all of the tags, it will reveal results inconsistent with my desires.I realize now that I could use collections instead of tags for compiling pictures to print for people.
I'm using Photoshop 5.5 and OS Lion. The Finder crashed while doing a Search. When I rebooted and opened Photoshop, every Photoshop file I had worked on that afternoon, plus two from the day before, was corrupt - nothing else was affected. Desktop preview icons and file sizes looked fine, but when I opened the files they were just bands of color and noise. All layers were gone and the size was incorrect. The jpgs I had saved from the psd files were also corrupt. Adobe blames Apple and Apple blames Adobe.

When I'm in photo shop doing photo editing, zooming in/out and doing lots of processor heavy maneuvers, my file once in a while becomes garbelled and corrupt. Why is this happening?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Gimp on very very large image files, my current image is 22000 x 23000. Gimp has 24GB of memory assigned in the Preferences menu (out of 32) and is fine while editing. However whenever I save the image as an XCF or PSD it corrupts. Occasionally with an XCF it will be recoverable but only one layer will recover. If it's exported as a PSD next time I try to open the image it says there are too many layers and is corrupt.
Is this a bug or is there a way I can preserve my large images with layers?

I have been using PSP for a number of years and decided to upgrade to X4, now a number of the files that I save in PSP are becoming corrupted and they seem to all be photos which are shot using a pure white background, not all photos are affected, I never had this problem in my previous versions of PSP
I use adobe lightroom which I transfer my raw file into jpeg, this is where i then open the jpeg in X4 and do my main editing, it is when I save the image it saves corrupted and can not be opened or deleted (shows that X4 is still using the file) . it will also not allow me to re transfer the image from my catalog.
There are some good features and I am considering uninstalling and reverting back to my older program (X2).
This may be an issue with the metadata of the image, I exported 2 sets of 50 identical images 50 with and 50 without the Metadata and ran a script which then automatically save the image, about 20 of the images with the metadata ended up corrupted, all the images without the metadata saved fine.
We are facing a strange problem in Corel Draw X4 and X3.First Corel Draw X4 corrupted its color pallet so that all colors were shown completely wrong.After that I tried to instal Corel Draw X3 which seemed to work ok.

From time to time when saving a file the file gets corrupted. When trying to open the file, only a blank page is visible. Trying to open the file as zip says "error in packed file..." This happens several times a day (we are 5 users and this happens to everyone).
The out of memory issue is also a huge problem for us. This happens several times a day, often during printing.
Are Corel taking these issues seriously or don't you care about professional users which are dependent on reliable tools?

I was trying to create a simple slideshow with sound when first my computer warned of low memory (something that doesn't seem plausible), and then Photoshop Elements 9 and the associated organizer crashed. When I brought it back, several photos were "grayed out" and my organizer is completely frozen. The error suggests that there are corrupt files. I tried to follow the instructions on the website, but cannot find any sort of Catalog menu or means of changing anything in the catalog or organizer as indicated in the troubleshooting and restoration instructions.

I've recently gone from pc to mac. I've imported photos from pc/elements 9 to mac/LR4. I'm in the process of getting the photos organized in LR4 when I got a message that my catalog was corrupt. When trying to repair I got a message that the catalog can not be repaired. I have not backed up my catalog.
It shows that my photos are on Macintosh HD / Users / bateson / Pictures / SteveLightroom4Pictures. Is there a way to fix or redo the catalog? Or do I need to start over and rebuild a new catalog by re-importing all the files to a new catalog? It has taken me a month to import and reorganized from elements 9.
Recently I tried to move 17000 files in one folder from one hdd to another. The move failed: only 770 photos were moved. However, only 92 still showed up in the catalog. Here's the sequence of events:
1. I tried to move the folder Master_P from drive E to drive G WITHIN Lightroom.
2. LR only moved 770 photos out of the 17000+ photos in Master_P and then stopped.
3. The Library only showed 92 out of those 770 photos in G.
4. Hoping to try again I moved those 92 WITHIN LR back to E.
5. Then I discovered the other photos in G in subfolders, but they were not in the Library on G even though I had used LR for the move.
6. Those 690 photos somehow disappeared from the catalog. They were not on drive E and they were not in E in the Library. They were also not in G in the Library.
7. Hoping that their entries were still in the catalog I used the OS (Win7 64bit) to move the 690 from G back to E to see if the catalog would pick them up. They didn't pick up.
Now I have all the photo files in old drive, but the catalog doesn't have the 690 or so files. I do have three backups of the .lrcat file. What do I do now?
Do I copy over the corrupt .lrcat file? Do I have to copy over the thousands of preview subfolders, too? Or what?
Then, since my E drive is full, how do I get these photos to the new, larger G drive and have the catalog accurate? I have about 50,000 files total to move.
I'm using an iMac with CS6. I have an external Maxtor 1TB drive that is 13 months old. when I attempted to access a PSD file from the drive and received an error message telling me that the document was not a valid photoshop file. I looked at the directory at this point and noticed that the preview icons for many of the photoshop and jpg files on the drive were disabled. In each of these cases, the files will not open.
I have:
1. Repaired permissions and volumes on the external drive.
2. Changed the file extension and attempted to open.
3. Opened the file in a hex editor and looked for extra lines of code, or text, or whatever.
4. Copied the file to a different drive.
5. Attempted to open in a different program (Preview, Illustrator)
In no cases will the files open, and I'm stumped. The drive itself seems to be working fine. Not every file is affected, and the files that are affected are both in a variety of locations on the drive and were created over a period of years.
I use Adobe Lightroom 4.3 64bit and am having problem with a corrupt catalog. The catalog contains a couple years of exposures with approx 87,000 photographs. I am running LR on Win 7 with quad core CPU and 10Mb RAM. I have used Lightroom for couple years and only problems I had experienced have been intermittent performance issues with LR. The years of photographs are in RAW format with editing in Develop module.
I was using Lightroom 4.3 and it froze the computer while using develop module. I had to power off to reboot and LR catalog was corrupted. I reverted to the LR backup (I back up daily). After importing photographs, LR once again froze the computer during Develop work. And, another backup was corrupted.
I went ahead and upgraded to LR 4.4 in hope that this will improve the situation. I ran chkdsk and other system utilities as well.I need Adobe to repair this corrupt catalog so I don;t keep wasting my time.
I received the following message after my computer went into hibernation/sleep mode before finishing to complete an import of images.Once I click on "Show in Finder" I see there is a .lock file as seen here:

I have just noticed a problem that I have not encountered until I upgraded to 3.3. After I export my images as jpegs, the thumbnail previews are not complete for a few of the files. I get about two corrupt thumbnails in Windows Explorer out of 100 exported images. Here is a screenshot showing what they look like.

The images are fine when I open the files, but the previews are not complete. I would like to fix it so my clients don't get "broken" thumbnail views.
Lightroom Catalog corrupt. Can't be repaired. I was uploading a photo shoot to Lightroom 2.7. A few minutes in, I got the following message: Lightroom encountered an error and needs to quit. There was a problem reading one of the Lightroom catalogs. I quit and started again but received the following:
The last time Lightroom ran, it shut down prematurely due to a problem reading the catalog. Lightroom must now check the catalog before proceeding After checking the integrity of the catalog, I got the following message: The Lightroom catalog "Lightroom Catalog" is corrupt and cannot be used or backed up until it is repaired. I clicked on REPAIR CATALOG. It looked like it was being checked/repaired but then I got the following message: The catalog "Lightroom Catalog" is corrupt and cannot be repaired at this time. I have been able to use a backup version of my catalog which is on my computer hard drive, but the catalog on my portable hard drive is the corrupt one. Why is that one corrupt, not both and how do I fix the corrupt one?
