Corrupt jpg export

The camera files seem to be just fine, but my jpg files frequently get corrupt on export. They get these random horizontal lines through them, as well as big gray sections that begin part way through the file. If I re-export them, they usually come out all right. I would like to pin down the cause. I'll change the process priority from normal to realtime for now and see how it goes.

Hi,
Sounds like a hardware problem on the target device or ram. Perhapst there is a background process running on the target folder (like dropbox) that confuses lr.

JPGs exported from Lightroom 5.6 will not open in other applications

Recently I have noticed that jpgs exported from Lightroom 5.6 can not be opened in Canon DPP 3.14 and can not be resized using Image Resizer plugin. Both of these I use frequently.
I have seen mention of this issue re other applications also. Does anyone know if there is a solution?
I am using Windows 8.1 64bit. 5D Mark ii

This was an issue with 5.5 (the placement of some of the internal headers of the jpgs was changed and some other applications, including DPP, could not open them), but was corrected in 5.6. I just checked on it by exporting a jpg and opening it with no problem in DPP 3.14.15, Windows 7 x64. Are your jpgs old ones from LR 5.5?

JPG export preset in InDesign?

Hi all,
Is there a way to save my JPG export selections as a preset? I have to export JPGs of the same document for two different purposes and they have different export requirements. Is there a way to save my selections as a preset the same way I can save my PDF export selections as presets?
InDesign 7.0.4
Mac 10.6.8
Cheers,
Trish

I'm pretty sure it won't be your fault, but I don't seem to be able to fix it. Try this one but it exports the number of pages squared! For example a 4 page document gives you 16 jpegs, 5 = 25 and so on.
What am I doing wrong John? I added in this line: app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;
//Display a "choose folder" dialog box.
if(app.documents.length != 0){
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
if(myFolder != null){
myExportPages(myFolder);
else{
alert("Please open a document and try again.");
function myExportPages(myFolder){
var myFilePath, myPageName, myFile;
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myDocumentName = myDocument.name;
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"ExportPages"});
with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add().dialogRows.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Base name:"});
var myBaseNameField = textEditboxes.add({editContents:myDocumentName,
minWidth:160});
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myResult == true){
//The name of the exported files will be the base name +
//the page name + ".jpeg".
var myBaseName = myBaseNameField.editContents;
//Remove the dialog box from memory.
myDialog.destroy();
//Generate a file path from the folder name, the base document name,
//page name.
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length;
myCounter++){
myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;
//Modify the following to change the Resolution. Enter a figure instead of 300
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;

//JPEGOptionsFormat.PROGRESSIVE_ENCODING
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;
//The name of the exported files will be the base name +
//the page name + ".jpeg".
//If the page name contains a colon (as it will if the

Extremely large jpg exported files - help!

I was previously loving LR3 - used the trial for a month, decided to buy it - had really no problems. The big issue for me is now the jpg export file sizes that are being created. I run all my photos through the develop module to adjust the basics as well as draw in masks, and previously I had no trouble exporting the files as jpg, with the limit of size at 600kb and resized to 960x640 (original photos from 5Dmk2 RAW).
Then I bought the license. From then on it seems that now whenever I do the same exact export it doesn't work! I also used to use the output quality slider and set that at 100% and would get around the same file sizes, but now I'm getting files 2-3x the size of the previous exports. All of the photos have minimal metadata (10 keywords or so, that's it) and the same metadata was present in the exports in the trial version.
Playing around with more export parameters and reading around on this forum led me to try and minimize exif data - this didn't even work - files could not meet the requirements or they still ended up 2-3x the size they used to be.
The interesting part is that when I would delete all development history and set the file back to the original pre-edited RAW and export there would be no problems!
Could it be possible that LR is adding the development data into the metadata that it is attaching to the photo??
This has completely shut down my photo workflow and really is making me regret buying this otherwise wonderful tool.

What I can see in the image is that it contains about (uncompressed) 750KB of XMP data, the major part of it relating to some "PaintCorrection" as follows:

This data results from heavy use of the local adjustment brush. Choosing "Minimize Embedded Metadata" upon export really should solve this problem for you. Please try again specifying this option.
But then, by doing so, you lose any other metadata (keywords etc.) also. To have complete control on what metadata gets written into the JPEG upon export, you could use Jeffrey’s “Metadata Wrangler” Lightroom Plugin.
I noticed one strange thing within the XMP data in your JPEG:
The data seems to be formatted differently than what I see with JPEGs I export ("HasExtendedXMP"), which I don't know where it comes from.
For further investigation, would it be possible for you to upload the Raw file and the XMP file belonging to it to somewhere (e.g. www.yousendit.com) and post a link to it here?

Multi-threaded JPG export

The slowest portion of my application is the conversion from a generated INDD file to JPEG. More CPU power seems to be the only solution at this point, but because IDS is single threaded, 3 of the cores on the server sit idle during this.
Is it possible to implement a plugin or Javascript script that exports each page in a separate thread, or similar, thus using all available cores during the export process?

Hi,
I think it is possible in InDesign 5 via "asynchronousExportFile". You can also create multiple server instances and let each instance generate a jpg export.

Fixing corrupt JPG files

Is there any good software out there for fixing corrupt JPG files?

Corruption damage in a .JPG entails data loss and the JPEG format does not contain redundancy, so there's no way to recover what's lost. Usually if the damage is found towards the end of the file, you can "recover" the good part by truncating it. If you want to do it interactively, you can try using software such as [The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org>, or its (very) expensive brother, Photoshop.
To do it automatically (batch mode) you can investigate if any of the tools in the [Image Magick package|http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php] helps. Note that these are command-line Unix tools.

Keywords missing in LR2.3 jpg exports.

My jpg exports do not contain the keywords and captions that I entered in LR2.3. What am I doing wrong?

DKramer24 wrote:
I'm checking by clicking on the exported/created jpg's properties in WinXP. Minimize metadata is unchecked. I've tried the exports with and without that box checked, same with Write keywords as Lightroom heierarchy.. no keywords or captions.
Personally, I don't trust Win Explorer to always list the metadata correctly. I always check with ExiftoolGUI. It will list all the metadata.

JPG files become corrupt after Exporting in LR 3

Does anyone have any idea what would cause
my JPG files to be corrupt after I export my edited Raw images in LR3? There are no problems with the Raw file, but once I edit them, apply what ever settings to them in LR I need, I export them as JPG to the same hard drive but in a sub folder where the raw files are, they will not open in photoshop or anywhere else. They are corrupt or lacking data???? When I upload them to my proofing website, there are colored streaks all through the image. Now, I noticed that when I go into that folder of RAW images, and delete the .xmp files, I have to start over, but it fixes the problem. So, now, I can't use .xmp sidecar files to save my editing. I'm fairly new to LR, so any suggestions would be great. I did recently upgrade my system to OS windows 7. Everythign was fine till I had to reinstall everything on my computer...and I also changed hard drives. I upgraded to a Terabyte drive moving all my images from a 500G to the terabyte. Could that cause my sidecar files to be corrupted?????
Thank you!!!!!

I doubt that the XMP files have anything to do with this, as Lightroom doesn't use these files when it creates an exported file.
It sounds like your hardware may be the culprit; these types of corrupt files are often caused by a failing hard drive. Some corruption may have happened in the transfer from one hard drive to another; or the new hard drive has some sort of problem.
Can you hook up the old hard drive again and see what happens to the photos there? Open one of them and compare it to the photo on the new hard drive.

Bridge corrupts jpg metadata when applying metadata template (no preview in Finder)

Hi,
Since a short while I found that applying one of my metadata templates (copyright etc.) to .jpgs in Adobe Bridge CC corrupts the metadata. What's seen is that the preview thumbnails in Finder disappear (change to jpg-logo), and there's no other way to get them back then by stripping all the metadata (I used ImageOptim).
The weird thing is, it only affects jpgs that are rendered straight from Capture One Pro 8. Pics in .jpg that are rendered by Photoshop CC don't go corrupt.

Photoshop writes a Corrupt JPG in Windows Vista

Hello
A very perplexing problem i have run into.
I have created a panorama with CS5 (running Windows Vista). This is from a number of RAW images that were stitched together using PS. I flattened the image and saved it to a jpg format. This jpg image can be read by Windows Photo Gallery application
i want to create a larger image (72" long) to print out. I went back to the PSD file and increased the image size in increments of 10% from ~49 in to 72 in long. i then saved this image in jpg format (same jpg options). This image comes back as corrupt when i try to view it in Vista (Windows Photo Gallery).
Photoshop can open the jpg image.
ultimately, i need to send this image to get printed out but i am worried that it is corrupt. I have tried 3 different Windows Vista computers (laptops to desktops) and the corrupt message is the same
"Photo Gallery can't open this picture or video. This file format is not supported, ..."
i have also tried to open this with Microsoft Paint and it does not work.
Thank you
Perry Ralph

Hello
Thanks for the message
What are the pixel dimensions of the JPG you're producing that can't be opened? Saying it is 72" long isn't enough without also telling the DPI/PPI. Also, another way to increase the print size of the image would be to merely change the DPI/PPI to something smaller.
21600 pixels x 5132 pixels
300 PPI
I suspect the Windows programs you refer to are running out of memory trying to open the image or they may have pixel-dimension limits. Photoshop has tricks to working on large images that the simple Windows programs do not use.
you might be right. my desktop PC has 8GM of memory
Are you working with an external printing service that cannot upsize an image in a way that looks reasonable and they require that you do it for them?
I haven't asked the printing service about upsizing the image. i wanted to look at the size first. i have also sent them an email message asking a similar question

Problems with jpg export and color profiles

I browsed the forum but I didn't find any recent thread about the issue I'm experiencing right now, I wonder if it's common or it just affects me. Mavericks, Aperture 3.5, all up-to-date.
I imported a RAW file (I tried with both a Nikon and a Sony camera), made a few adjustements and then exported the picture as a jpg. It looked good in the Finder, in Photoshop, in Preview. When I uploaded the file to flickr, everything was ok.
Then, I browsed flickr via its iOS app and - surprise - the image is completely wrong: colors are washed out, desaturated, with an awful greenish dominance. I tried a few things and discovered soon that also opening the file on my Mac with GraphicConverter has the same ugly result. Same with the iOS version of Safari.
I use ProPhoto RGB as my default color space in Aperture. I changed to sRGB: same result. I changed to AbobeRGB and te output is finally consistent through all the platforms and apps.
Too bad I managed to do this only for one photo because, even if I changed the settings, every other photo I exported is still sticking with ProPhoto RGB. The problem is surely here because I solved it changing manually the color space to AdobeRGB with Pixelmator and re-saving the images one by one. But of course this cannot be a successful workflow...
Any experience about this?
Thank you!

OK, I can reply to myself. The issue has mysteriously gone away - no idea why. Edit: The issue is gone on Desktop, with GraphicConverter. From iOS, pictures still look weird.
About the exported default, my bad: I was using presets and they choose their own settings for color space. Still, no idea why the first one was exported in Adobe RGB instead of ProPhoto RGB (the default for "JPEG - fit within 2048x2048").

Palette for JPG export

Hi!
When I export BMPs with the "Layers to files" command, I can
control the number of colors by creating a palette.
Can I do the same thing when exporting JPGs "Layers to
files"?
I have not found a way to do this in Fireworks and the
work-around conversion program I use changes the ppi of the image
so it is useless.
I need JPGs because it is the only format my hardware device
(simulation platform) can read and I need it in 256 colors to
simulate what it will look like on the final product. Please help
me!
Great forum by the way!
Kind regards
M

export it as a gif and choose your palette there, then open
the gif and
export as a jpeg at 100% ?

Why is Aperture2iLife so fast on jpg export when compared to Aperture?

I shoot youth sports.
On most days I can shoot 1000+ images for 3-4 games. I shoot 70-200mm VR on a D2X in high-speed crop mode to get eight frames/sec so the shots add up fast. Occasionally I switch back to full res but for the most part I am shooting eight frames/sec every time a ball is in motion near kids.
I carry a D200 with a 12-24 for wide and close shots.
All jpg of course, and have found that it is good enough for even 16x20s.
Most games get culled down to 100-200 images. Those keepers are then cropped, white balanced, exposure adjusted, and sharpened. Lift and stamp make that work go very fast.
I then export preview images to post on my photo ecommerce site. This is a killer... sharpening, highlight and shadow adjustments can triple the output times. For a project of 200 images, it can take 30+ minutes for output. If I have 3 games per night I am looking at 1.5-2 hours just for outputting preview images! No I don't want to use automator running my DP G5 into the night...
HOWEVER, I have just tried added something new into my workflow. Aperture2iLife.
After I am done with culling, cropping, correcting a project, I exit Aperture and launch Aperture2iLife, select "create jpgs" which outputs images that are 1024 pixels on the long side, select the project I just finished in Aperture and two minutes later I launch iWeb.
In iWeb I pull up the media browser and select photos. I select all and drag them to a empty directory in finder.
30+ minutes versus 2 minutes. WHY?
Granted, Aperture2iLife is a quirky app, and does have some issues, but for what I need it to do, it SMOKES Aperture.
Why do I edit the preview images? Better preview images sell more.

That's because under teh covers, Aperture is making three different sizes of preview thumbnails - including images that are 1024 pixels on one side.
Aperture2iLife is cleverly just pulling out the JPG files Aperture has already made.
Aperture has a few features that make use of these larger thumbnails - in Slideshow you can elect to use these images for faster loading, and if you delete a master image it uses the thumbnails since it can no longer generate an image from the master file.
I agree it would be kind of handy to havea feature to let you simply export those largest thumbnails directly since for web use, that's generally large enough. But then again Aperture2iLife does that pretty well already.

Can't InDesign Server make a jpg export of a large page? (4000x4500mm)

Hi guys,
I don't have InDesign Server installed so thats why I ask here.
I'm using a solution where an InDesign server should return with a jpg of an InDesign document, but for some reason it doesn't work with this document:
http://ge.tt/8w1EmaP/v/0
Can anyone clarify if InDesign Server really has a problem in exporting larger dimensions of if it is just the solution which I'm uploading to, that has a problem?
Thanks in advance!

It also depends on the Resolution of the JPG. I just exported a 72 ppi JPG from InDesign desktop. However, it would not export a 2400 ppi JPG (maximum size exceeded).

Date format is corrupted while exporting GridView data to excel

I have set UK culture on my machine. Date is getting exported correctly. I have written following code:
Response.ClearContent();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=IncidentsSearch.xls");
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";
//Ccreate string writer object and pass it to HtmlTextWriter object
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
gv.RenderControl(htw);
Response.Write(sw.ToString());
Response.End();
But when I change my machine culture to US, date format gets corrupted. It exports date in "DD/MM/YYYY" format. When I apply filter on this column, it tries to convert these values to date format "MM/DD/YYYY". If there are 2 date values
like "05/08/2014" and "13/11/2014". When I try to change format of these 2 values to Long Date, it will try to convert it to MM/DD/YYYY format as US culture is set. So 1st values will be converted to 8 May, 2014 which is actually 5th Aug,2014.
For 2nd date value, it will not be able to convert it to date as 13 is not valid month. I want that when UK culture is set, it should automatically export date values in "DD/MM/YYYY" format and when US culture is set, it should automatically export
date values in "MM/DD/YYYY" format. Please suggest some solution.
