Question

LRC images sporadically being corrupted

What is happening so some of my photos? They look fine the Library preview mode but if i switch to develop mode, some of them are corrupt. They originally show and then (i am guessing) when the preview is being replaced with the actual image load they start getting corrupted. I even tried to delete them and reimport them from my backup drives (I have 2 backups) but still bad. I cannot decide any rhyme or reason behind them. As in shot by this body, imported at this time, etc. Added an image to show what is happening. Each corrupted image has a different amount of corruption its not the same but it does have the same generic look. So all 3 copies are looking the same. If it were just a couple i would yell but get on. My fear is that this is slowing moving and i might look important ones. Corrupted images are from multiple camera bodies and at one time was able to eidt in LR.

    To add to the confusion and the idea that its actually LR. I picked one of the bad photos that were bad on the actual library and was bad on both back up drives and were bad regardless of which computer they were open in a different LR...  I opened the CR file with DXO Pure raw and it rendered correctly. I then saved it and imported the saved DXO pure raw file and it now renders in LR correctly. Come on it has to be something with LRC.

    as a side note. After the CR file opened properly in DXO, i deleted the associated XMP file with the file and tried again to see if somehow the XMP was causing the problem, but it was still corrupt in LRC with no XMP file

    I think this might be a GPU issue.

    In the LrC preferences, go to the Performance tab and set Use graphics processor to Off.

    Does that make any difference?

     


    Thanks for the suggestion.. unfortunately it made no difference.

    Corrupted files are caused by a hardware malfunction somewhere. In your case, I would suspect either the hard disk or the computer's RAM. Naturally, if you have backups on a different drive, you are protected against losing your work and protected against losting your photos.

    i pulled the files into both my laptop catalog and my mac mini catalog.. both are showing the same corruption that was not there in the past when i imported and processed the photos. So that led me to think the files were corrupt so i did a harddrive disk utility first aid. That found no issues. So i connected my 2 backup drives and imported the backup files to both catalogs and still corrupt. I am at a loss. I cannot believe both computers LRC and catalogs are identically bad. I also cannot believe that all 3 versions of the files are suddenly bad. I know thats not much to go off of. none of the files were edited in any other software just LRC. Of course in older versions of LRC. So at this point the photos are lost even on my backups. Any Any Any suggestions before i completely stress out about losing all my other photos over time?
