Lightroom issue.
When I import a few Pictures sometimes some Pictures has a wanring "Lightroom can't read the Picture" (germen). The Picture is correctly imported, I also can open it with other programs. I'm able to remove the Picture from Lightroom (and Hard Drive), restart Lightroom an try to import it again (from Disk oder CF-Card). Import succeeded but the error still remains. I'm using Lightroom 3.4.1.
Thanks for suggestions!

I checked it now - PS is able to open the Image, even LR on my mobile machine can open the Image without any problem.
Seems to be a corruption in the DB.. But why can't I delete and reimport the image?

Hello,

the images are JPEG's. Shot with a Olympus E-3 and E-30.
I haven't PS, but Gimp, Paint and any other program on my pc is working with the image. Even windows-explorer prints it well.
Which part of file did you mean? It seems so, I have to dl PS to test it.

What format is the image in?

Can Photoshop read the image file?

It is possible that the file is corrupt, and Lightroom is trying to read part of the file that other applications are ignoring (the part containing the corruption).
