Lightroom :: Image Corrupted After Import Into LR4?
Oct 16, 2012
I've imported images into LR4 from my External HD and and a few the files are corrupted. I realize that LR is not suppose to do anything to the files on the disk when importing... but I've checked the RAW images from back-ups and they are not corrupted prior to import into LR. AFTER import into LR the actual file (on the external HD) IS corrupted in both LR and then on the External HD.
My workflow has been to copy files from my CF Card to the External HD (Western Digital 3 TB) ino the appropriate file then go to LR4 and import.I replaced the Card Reader..same problem occurs. I've checked numerous RAW files in Bridge none are shown as corrupted (prior to LR4 import)

I just had a few RAW files from my 5D mk III get corrupted on import. Either half of the image horizontally, or the bottom right quarter is severly corrupted.
I tried converting these same files with the DNG converter, then importing, and they work fine. I checked before wiping the card!
Edit: Update: I also tried re-importing the files directly from the card into LR 4.1RC and they are fine the second time around.

I've been getting about one or two of these per 3000 photos recently, and obviously it's not a huge deal until it's the ONE image you wanted. I've gone back to the memory card and the file is fine when opened from the memory card and fine when I re-copy the image. Sometimes it's just the preview that looks like this, but when I open it in develop mode it's fine. The file also shows up corrupted when navigate to the folder and open it in photoshop.
This is a rather new phenomenon for me, last year in 125,000 images probably 3 total, but in the last month (10,000 photos) I've had 6. Is it the new version (4.4) of lightroom? Is it my hardrive? Is it my card reader? The only thing I think I've ruled out is my memory cards and camera.

Any "fix" for issues with Corel PDF import "the file is corrupted" error? We do custom apparel and recently added an on-line design tool that exports in PDF. Corel cannot read the files so we are forced to import into AI then expert as an AI file to import into Corel. I am at the point where I believe if there was a book written with all the quirks of X5 it would be a telephone book in size.

Lately I've been finding that I've been having lots of corrupted image files -- many of my jpgs and even my psd's have strange bands of colour/image shifts that are permanent, and many of my tif files are now 'unparseable'.
Here is an example of this kind of corruption. Notice the bands of shifted colour and even shifted pixels:
What can be causing this? I'm worried because this is destroying my library of images. I have everything backed up to DVD which is good because I just checked and those files are fine -- so it is some sort of corruption, not software-related.

I was working with a RAW photo and attempting output to JPEG when it seems that the original RAW image was corrupted somehow. It seems that the original image data is still there as I can open the original RAW file in Windows Picture viewer etc. but if I try to open it in PSP X4 it shows up as a grey box with an X and I get a dialogue saying "The specified file cannot be identified as a supported file type". If I try to open in my camera's software; Pentax Camera Utility (Silkypix) again it shows up as a broken image. how to recover this file? It seems that somehow the metadata attached to that file is broken, if I could strip that away it would probably be fine.

Since I upgraded to Lightroom 4 last week, I've had two occasions where Windows 7 operating system at boot tells me I have corrupt files on the separate 2TB drive I use to store Lightroom catalog and photos on. One difference between my LR3 vs LR4 settings was that I turned on the option to write XMP data to files per advice from Adobe evangelist that this is a better backup strategy in case LR catalog gets corrupt. Wondering whether the LR 4 background process to write out XMP is causing the problem.
It might be a self inflicted wound, as last night, I was importing iPad screenshot PNG files into Bridge, batch renaming them and then exporting them to hard drive as JPG (when is Lightroom going to support PNG?) and synchronizing that folder in LR4 so that I can view in LR4. Maybe the fact that I have LR4 and Bridge open at the same time and doing some operations corrupted them? LR4 got stuck at 1% progress in creating previews, so left the computer on overnight and when I come back in morning, black screen of death. When reboot, says I have to check that drive and finds lots of corrupt record segments. Never had this problem with LR3 and Bridge open at same time before LR4 and turning on the option to write XMP data to files.

I use a fully registered Lightroom 5.3 with my Canon 5D Mark III, and I have this kind of corruption on some of my CR2 files from times to times. If i reimport the .cr2 file in another catalog or even on another the resulting file is still corrupted.
The wierdest thing is that the original import was successful and I successfully exported it several times correctly. The corruption should have happens afterward:
This is absolutely inacceptable from a professional software.
PS: I had this kind of curruption with an old version of Lightroom with my previous pentax K7d, but I though this was past

Since the last update I am having images corrupted (truncated) by lightroom, when I open some files in CS5 i get the message about the file being truncated and then only half the image come up.
If I export the file again from LR it works so it's not the usual card malfunction or import errors, my hard drive is in fully working order and tested with drive sentinal.

I recently updated from LR3 to LR4. About halfway through my edit, LR crashed. Upon trying to open up the catalog that I was currently working on, it says that the file is corrupted and prompts me to a dialog box that asks to repair catalog, quit, etc.
I attempted to click to repair the catalog, however another error dialog box pops up saying that it cannot temporarily repair the file.
I've tried everything I could possibly think of, restarted the computer. Copied the raw files and catalog and tried to open it that way -- with no luck. I was editing away and then boom.. no longer have access.

I know there are lots of LR4 performance issues floating around, but I havent been having the normal develope modue issues. My issues are more related to general catalog loading and responsivene
Basically my catalogs tend to slow down drastically over a couple days of useage until they are pretty much useless. When I first import in a catalog they seem to be pretty quick, previews load correctly and when i go to develope it loads up in a couple seconds. Give it a couple days or a few hours of useage though and all of a sudden the catalog will refuse to load images that were not already in cache and trying to open an image will cause the LR to come to a hault and just sit there. If you leave it for a few hours it will eventually load them up usually. I have lost a couple catalogs to this issue. Closing the program and reopening usually results in LR not opening at all. Windows wont even let me kill LR through taskmanager sometimes. I usually have to log out and log back in, but sometimes it will still say the catalog is currently in use.
Running window7 64bit, i7 2700k, 16bg ram, intel 320 ssd (os, LR, and LR raw cache 8gb), nvidia 240gtx, images drive is a seagate 7200k 2TB drive. Raw files are from a d800 and d700. Seems to be more issues with the d800 files though.
I honestly have gotten to the point where I have to back up my catalogs as jpegs daily and often times to complete a wedding I need to use 2-3 different catalogs. LR3 had no issues at all on the same system.
Consider a full OS wipe and restore, or trying to convert to DNGs before editing.

I just cannot get it. In the Library I can see the desktop, but not all the folders in desktop are not visible. Have tried many triks but cannot fiqure this out. The intro tutorial does not explain this at all in necessary details. Why doen´t the folder tree open like in windows? I am just used to work with the windows way to show the folder tree and that is why this looks a bit starange to me.

When I select embed medium JPEG, the preview image is corrupted (folded over itself parallel to the long edge) when I view the preview in other programs like irfanview.
Two examples: http:[url]......

I just downloaded lightroom 5.4 the other day and today was the first time I went to download images with it.
I could review all my images before I plugged my card into the card reader and attempted to download them, when I opened the import window in lightroom the first image on the card had a preview, but it was greyed out and the rest of the images came up with the .CR2 icon and when I tried to import them I got an error message saying that the files cannot be read.
I tried ejecting the card and putting it back in my camera, but now I can't see the images on my camera either or save them manually to my hard drive.
The files are from a Canon 5D mk II and I shot all the images in RAW with no JPG's.

Why oh why when I export any image from one folder to another do I end up with most keywords applied to that image written to my hierarchical keyword list as a new 1st level keyword and not under the parent keyword as they should be? I've tried everything. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, with the latest LR 3. Export Synonyms, Include on Export, Export containing keywords are all checked with all the keywords and I've unchecked the Write Keywords as Hierarchy in the Export dialogue. With every export I have to clean up my keyword list and I'm at wits end with wasted hours.

I use mac OS 10.8.5, LR5.3 and PSCC.
I sent an image from LR5.3 to PSCC (via edit in PS) where I edited it and then saved it, under a new name, back to the same folder in the LR catalog. It does not seem to matter if I save as TIF or as PSD, I get the following message:
I can the choose SYNCHRONIZE FOLDER by R clicking the folder in lightroom and the image is promply displayed in the LR grid.
This is a recent problem. Don't know what I might have changed in preferences for either application.

I noted after importing my images from my disk f(to Lr5) that some floral images were missing.Luckily they were on my backup disk so i moved these floral images from my backup disk to the proper floral folder in my int. disk f. Now how do i import these new images that are located in their particular floral folder which are indeed there.Also how do you set up these new files to do a preview setup. did try to import these new images,but lightroom would not let me do it because it grayed out the images telling me that we noted some duplicate images here. Yes, i did see a few dups of these images in the floral file. If i deleted these dups under its proper folder in disk f shouldn't lr5 let me continue the import?

I'm unable to import raw image files from 5DMKII after upgrading to LR 4.4. Using an iMac OS 10.6.8. No error message, importing just stops after a few files have been imported. First it imported 2 files, then 9, then 11, before it stalls. No error message or pinwheel icon. I tried re-installing 4.4 twice with no change. My laptop, a Macbook Pro same system, running LR 4.3 can successfully import the same files using the same card reader and cable.

In lr4.1 before Importing images, I'd like to see more info (camera, lens, focal length, f-stop, exposure time etc.) about the images besides just the file name before making the selection to import.
In the library module I just push the i key and it loops through two sets of info and a non-display. Why can't I do this in the Import module? If yes: how? What options do I set and where? If no: Is there a plugin to do so or who do I ask to add this to the next release?

Slow rendering image previews in import dialogue?
My LR 5 is as slow as a snail generating those previews.
Importing my RAWs form the EOS 6D (saved on a 95MB/s 32 BG SanDisk Extreme Pro) it renders only the 12 or 24 displayed previews and leaves out the rest (the next only when I'm scrolling down). For 12 images LR5 needs 8-10 seconds. LR4.4 does the same process for all 150 RAWs in 1-2 seconds.
It doesn't matter if I want to import to my workstation (Dell Precision T1650, 8core Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2, 16GB RAM, 64bit) via USB 3.0 (Reader & Port) or to my laptop (Dell Latitude E6400). So it must be LR, not my hardware.
Are there known issues with the Canon-RAW format? I just updated EOS firmware to 1.1.3, but the renderspeed stays the same. For 1 image 3-4 seconds single...

Got the <Unexpected error opening catalogue> dialog when starting Lightroom 5.2. Will not allow me to save a new catalogue. Deleted old catalogue thinking that might prompt Lightroom to create a new catalogue or allow me to create and save a new one.Create Folder with New Catalogue allows me to enter a new catalogue name but then Select Catalogue dialog box is empty. Program wont open!

This issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.

I just upgraded from LR3.6 to 4.0. When trying to import images the import module freezes for a few minutes and then displays the import screen. However, when selecting a source the program freezes again and eventually crashes.
I had the same issue when upgrading to 3.6 some time ago and then found that disabling some USB controllers solved the problem. This works for LR4 as well. As I don't need all USB connections this is a workable solution, however, disabling controllers should not be necessary to run a program.
System is an Acer Aspire 7811 64 bits w/ Intel i7, Win 7 Home Premium, 8 GB internal mem and no external drives.
