Agreeing with @GoldingD , almost definitely a corrupted file, caused by a hardware malfunction somewhere. They look fine in Finder because the Finder shows the JPG preview embedded in the file, and these can be un-corrupted even when the RAW in the file is corrupted.

I explained that.

Sorry, i overlooked that.

but also curious, i never knew that there was a jpg embedded in the raw file ..

is there a way (tool) the rebuild the RAW file using the jpg?

Are those RAW files?

Possibility that you have corrupt RAW files. Either a bad memory card, or a bad memory card reader, or cable.

Looking at the RAW files outside of LrC may tell you nothing as you are probably seeing the embedded JPEG, not a converted RAW.

Indeed those are RAW files.

this is what whent wrong:

i have a synology NAS and i trew away the folder containing all my photo's, stupid i know ...

Then i used a revovery program to recover all my files and i got them back, not the way i liked it but just all the files (with diffirent names a may add )

so then i imported all the files in lightroom and some of them looked like the foto above, but when i look at them in the finder they look perfect ?!

that's the problem..

First, try disabling GPU in the Preferences (Performance tab). Any better?

When you view one of those odd looking images in Develop at 1:1, any difference?

Hi,

i did disabled the GPU and it makes no difference.

when i click on a photo and select "show in finder" the picture looks perfect. so the original files is fine.

so i don't have a solution, do you ?

Recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.
