Hi Thanks, yes to all of that, it is the same camera, card and reader. But ive manually copied all the images form the card to the mac just with finder, and they all seem perfectly fine. I cant actually upload any of these ones as they are a clients.  Does that help shed any light? ... View more

OK Guys, im re-opening this discussion.  Ive not got a new Macbook pro M1, and im gettting the same issue, just imported 385 images from Compact flash card.  Probably 10 of them look like some version of original screen shots. If i click the 'embedded photo' button on the image it then looks fine.  ... View more

willing to accept the possibility, but how come they are now ok? Ive gone into Lr today and they seem ok, so i deleted two that i remember definately had the issue, reimported them and pressed the embedded preview button and they were fine. So i guess? the raw file is ok? ... View more

thanks for the fast reply, i dont know, im using a mackbook pro, ive used it for years. it gets all the updates recommended. never seem to have to look for drivers (unlike a PC)   Using , NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1 GB graphics       ... View more

thanks for the detailed reply. i;ll just be using LRC alot less from now on. i prefer PS for editing anyway. Such a stupid little problem, easy to fix for Adobe, and thousands of us want it fixed.  Who really wants the keywords in aplabetical order? ive heard no one begging for it to stay.  I will only use LRC now for specific batch edits only.  ...

I NEVER use the two programmes for keywording, ive never used LRC for keywording at all. But if you edit in LRC occasionally its going to automatically mess up my keywords. Im mostly a PS user, so now im going to use LRC alot less until its fixed ... View more

UPDATE I can get LRC to get the new KW TEST, but right clicking the image and selecting Metadata, read metadata from files. I dont think thats very intuitive, BUT, to be honest, all i care about is the order of KW's for now.  If you work in Stock (thousands do), KW order is important. ... View more

Thanks wobert I dont have Automatically write changes into XMP turned on I just tested it and yes an export from LRC, of a file with KW's in a random order, does re-order the KW's into alphabetical order.  We are supposed to work with these programs interchangably, so when one program changes data order in another program without the ability to stop that (or even worse, its not clear that that is even happening), I think its something that needs sorting out. All we need it a switch "Turn of auto sort for KW's" in both programes One program doest reorder them and one will, and were suppose to work seemlessly between the programs. Obviously im not blaming you, just ranting, it should be an easy thing to fix.   Slightly more confused now, if i look at the file 'INFO' in Finder for either file, it lists the KW's and that list isnt in any order and different to Bridge or LRC order. As a test, in Bridge, i added a new KW at the beginning, called TEST saved it. then checked Finder INFO. The KW TEST appears in the middle of all the other KWs when using Finder INFO.    So now i go back to LRC, synchronise the folder with my file in (and the new KW TEST) , and the KW TEST doent appear in the KW at all in LRC.  Clearly LRC takes the KWs at some point, as i never use LRC to add KWs. But its not doing it right now.    So all three programs show the KW's in a different order.  ... View more

Hi Yes i do only keywords in Bridge, but somehow, sometimes, they are getting reset into alphabetical order. I cant determine how or when this happens. Where is the setting in LRC that stops any file editing of the keywords? I suspect LRC is somehow reorganising them.  thanks Simon ... View more

you know where the cursor is when you dont press alt/option? well thats where the cursor is when i PRESS alt/option. All Alt/option does is make the marquee double the size.
