Weird Imports

Contributor ,
Jul 23, 2018 Jul 23, 2018

Hi folks.

When I import my recent photos I'm getting a weird result. (See image). However the photos open ok with other programs without this issue.

They open initially ok then they change to the corrupted one, after about 5 seconds.

These photos aren't important so I'm not worried about loosing them. Just don't want to loose future ones.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

This is image corruption, usually caused when the image is transferred from one place (the memory card) to another (the hard drive). Check cables, card reader, etc. The fact that other software seems to be OK with it is misleading. That software may just show you the embedded preview, which could be fine. Lightroom initially does that too, but then it generates its own preview by rendering the raw data and that is when things go sour.

Thanks Johan. Unfortunately I've deleted the original on the memory card.

A lesson for the future.

Thanks again.
