Recently, some of my images in the develope tab dont work. 
The image in navigator shows up, but it is resized and looks squished. 
And the image itself just shows a tiny little square box. 

In the library tab i can view them, but i cant actually edit them. 
The metadata also does not show all of the information. 

Has anybody else had this issue and know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

That file is only a Smart Preview as can be seen under the Histogram. The Original is missing going by that. Is it on an external drive that's been unplugged?

 

You should still be able to edit it though, as that's part of the design for Smart Previews.
