Fickle Jpeg images; why will some not open?

This is a strange experience which remains unresolved. I have received reports that some of my jpeg images, usually derived from tiffs or raw files, cannot be opened when delivered. Many of my tiffs start life as original film scans, whereas the remainder are generally derived from a variety of digital cameras. Yet the same images open perfectly well in PS CS2 during final examination.
I am beginning to suspect that the culprit is Lightroom (V1.2 & V1.3). Why? Well it appears to occur only when some images are imported into LR for processing and then exported for final checks in CS2 before uploading or delivery by CD. I am still trying to diagnose the cause and find a remedy because it is wasting a lot of time with repeat processing. Meanwhile I wonder if any member has experienced jpegs behaving unpredictably after using Lightroom?

Across the top are the thumbnail photos. At the bottom is the menu bar with Info, Compare, Rotate, Crop etc. The photo is in the centre of the screen and is approximately 4 inches by 6 inches in size. The rest of the screen is black. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

  • Why will PDF not open from email?

    I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
    Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email.  I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
    I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
    Any Ideas?

    A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
    In Firefox:
    Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
    Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
    Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
    Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
    it in Adobe Reader
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    (Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
    I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
    If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
    Click
    to open Windows Mail.
    Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
    in the message list.
    In the message window, click the File menu,
    and then click Save Attachments.
    Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
    By default,
    Windows Mail saves attachments in your
    Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
    click Browse, and then select a folder.
    Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

  • Why will some pdfs open but others won't?

    When I open pdfs in my browser they should open as tabs but some don't. These are not different types - I'm currently doing GCSEs and on one webpage there will be, for example, links to 3 mark schemes, all the same format, same server etc. - but only 1 will open, and it will open immediately and without problems. The other two will come up with the grey screen and bar at the top which should be for pdfs, but nothing happens if I try to use this bar to download the pdfs etc. and the loading bar in the centre of the page does not load. If I refresh a lot, one of these may then open. Some will not open after being left for hours or refreshed many times, however. All of the pdfs open on other computers.
    Why is this and how can I solve it?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Btw, as far as I can see all the pdf extensions etc. are downloaded and installed.

    I've attached an image. Are you not seeing the spinning circle and the 'Checking for updates...' message?
    In that case you can download Firefox 21.0 from here:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    Install the file and it will replace your current version. Bookmarks, history etc will be saved.

  • Why  will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

    A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
    The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

  • Why will Preview Not open photos now?

    I'm a photographer and have used Preview to open and view photos for several months now. I did so two days ago, but now when I try to open any photo it says I do not have "Permission" to open the file and directs me to Preview>File>Permission.  I'm already listed to be able to read and write images, so I do not know the problem it's having.
      Any help would be great.

  • HT5953 why will it not open (it referring to the ibooks app on my macbook pro)

    my ibooks app will not open, not even load

    Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
    So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
    Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

  • Why will itunes not open on my macbook pro

    i recently got a new charger for my macbook pro because my old one had stopped working, so my computer had not been charged for about a week or a little longer. once i started up my computer i noticed that it started to freeze alot and itunes would no longer open so i deleted the application folder and tried redownloading it and now it wont even show up in my recently downloaded file. i have an iphone so i use itunes alot. any ideas on what going on or what i can do to fix this problem??

    Yes, it asks me to download 10.6.3 but when i click update it says.  The update “iTunes” can’t be installed.  The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.  I have updated all other updates and restarted the computer multiple times with no luck.

  • Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

    For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
    I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
    However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
    I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

  • Why will Numbers not open this Office 2007 file?

    Hi everyone
    This xlsx file:
    http://senduit.com/90ba96
    opens fine in Excel 2003 with compatibility pack, but won't open in Numbers. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?
    Thanks
    dtw

    Hi James
    Thanks for the reply. Numbers'08 is supposed to be able to read xlsx (Office Open XML) and xls formats (BIFF) and it does work for other xlsx files, just not the simple one attached.
    I plan to generate xlsx files and thought I might as well keep an eye on compatibility with Numbers, though it is not required. The above xlsx example fails in Numbers (but works okay in Excel) and I'm curious to know why.
    Cheers

  • Why will aps not open?

    My ipad is a little over 1 month old and my FaceTime will not complete a connection and none of my game aps will open.  Any idea of what is going on?

    Try these things and see if they help.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Try downloading another app - any free app - see if your game apps will open then.

  • Why will Firefox not open Windows Live when Internet Explorer will?

    As above

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
