Images not importing properly.

When importing some of the images have a warning triangle indicating that LR is having trouble reading the photo. Subsequently the rendering of the 1:1 previews stalls.

I'm using a D800e and loading jpg images. Some of the images have a warning triangle indicating that LR is encountering difficulty difficulty reading this photo. The rendering of the previews stalls.
Oddly, in Grid mode if I click on the grey area immediately above the individual images the images will render but only of I do it manually. What can I do about this.

  • Why do certain cd not import properly

    Hi
    Every now and again I get a cd which does not import properly, when itunes is importing the songs at some point the importing slows down by a ridiculous level after it finish that certain song the next one won't import and cause the disc drive to rotate faster and make a sort skipping sound.
    I have been able to counter this by ticking the 'use error correction when importing CDs' option but this takes forever to import, none of my cd show any signs of damage  and most of them are brand new.
    Could this be a disc error/drm or my disk drive?
    Thanks for the help

  • How do I fix sound not importing properly from a Fuji video capture (MPEG, 48000 compressed) on Premier Elements 11 (just imports chopped noise)?

    Can anyone help?  When I add .Mov MPEG video file captured with a Fuji camera (1920x1080 image, 29.97 frame rate, 48000Hz stereo compressed sound), although the video is smooth/good, the sound gets added but its just a clipped noise rather than the actual sound track.  The video & sound play fine on all other software on my PC, even if just play the file using Adobe Organizer, BUT Premier will not import it correctly....help...

    9
    Please give us more information.
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on? When you view and listen to the playback of the Timeline video in the Edit area monitor, are you working with the rendered or unrendered Timeline?
    What is the model/settings of the Fuji camera that recording the video? The settings seem to be for 1080 but is that 1080i or 1080p?
    Are you saying that your video has a .mov file extension? What is the significance of MPEG video - I am thinking in terms of video compression? AVCHD, H.264, MotionJPEG, or other for video compression?
    What are you or the project setting as the project preset to match the properties of the source video?
    (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if they look grayed out.)

  • Images not displayed properly

    [Migrated from the Syclo Resource Center]
    prashanthi_vangala   01/03/2012 06:44,
    Hi,I am working on Agentry 5.4.0I have a list screen where for one of the columns I have a rule to display images ( I use checked and unchecked images ). Earlier the images were getting displayed properly on the ATE but  it is not working now and I did not make any changes to the image properties then.But after this, I tried couple of things with the image properties to make it work, like when I do not use any mask colour the image does not get displayed but when i use any maks colour the image gets displayed but its completely blacked out ( and thus for checked image, cannot see the check mark and its completely blacked out ).I face same issue with the login image as well. I added a new Image ( Logo ) to my App for the login Screen, but even this image does not appear on the login screen.
    I also tried deleting the Dev folder and re-publishing, but even this does not work.

    Try deleting the Application directory under your development server where the images reside and publish again.
      Completely clear your ATE and transmit again from scratch.
      Also, what mask color are you using?
      Try using a green hugh and not black or white for the mask.

    Jason Latko   01/03/2012 12:40
    Is it just the ATE, or do you have the same problems using the WIn32 or PPC clients?
    Jason Latko - Senior Product Developer at Syclo
    prashanthi_vangala   01/04/2012 06:21
    Hi Jason,Behaviour in ATE:I have changed the image now and tested with the new image . Now, its behaving strangely:When I do a sync after publishing or a reset of ATE; I see the new image properly displayed on the screen but when I leave the screen and come back to the same screen again, the new image is getting replaced by the old image ( atleast the old image is not displayed properly, it appears like a black square box..and because of the same issue I had with this image I switched to the new image ). Behaviour in Win32 Client:When I tested with the client, I see  the new image properly for the first time and when i leave the screen and come back the image disappears..This is the behaviour in client.
    Please suggest.
    -Prashanthi
    Jason Latko   01/09/2012 11:35
    Prashanthi,What did you use to create these images?
      They are simple bitmaps I assume?
      Try creating some very simple images using Microsoft Paint, then set a mask of green in Agentry.
      Your problem sounds familiar, but I can't find a matching bug in our database.
      Maybe someone else has experienced this?
      You could also try upgrading to a newer version of Agentry to see if the problem goes away.

    Hi Jason,
    Thank you for the reply.
    But strangely, from past few days I see that the image is working fine again.
    But kept this topic open because it was wierd, that the image is working correctly again without making any major change. What I did was to just write the rule again which calls the image ( though i did this before and did not work then but worked now ) and to observe the image behaviour for few days.But it seems like it is fine now.
    Thanks and Regards,Prashanthi

  • Edited hyperlinked shape images not hyperlinking properly when published

    At my website:
    www.trianglepolysteel.com
    I've tried to add and edit hyperlinked shape images at the top of the page, namely "The PolySteel Systems" and "FAQs". No matter what I do--bring to front, recreate a brand new image, copy and paste one I know works--the published version does not hyperlink properly. I unselect "make all hyperlinks inactive" in the hyperlink inspector pane, rollover my mouse to ensure that all buttons take me to the proper place, then click them to prove it. Works in iWeb, not on the published page.
    Does anyone know how iWeb creates the code? When I save changes I've made, does it rewrite code for the entire page, or does it plug in edits at the end of the existing code? When I go in to view source in safari, it looks like it put the two edited/added images in a different location.
    Help! Visitors/potential customers are missing a valuable link on my site.
    Bradley

    OT,
    Yes, each is its own image, as making one text box and hyperlinking each word/phrase results in the unchangeable (arrrgh!) grey underlined text that changes to red on rollover.
    I've already been experimenting with exactly what you mentioned. I just tried shrinking all the image boxes, without encroaching on the text, so they would clearly not overlap. I'm publishing to me.com for these experiments so I don't have to keep publishing the entire site to a folder, then ftping to my server. Here's the page I just experimented with:
    http://web.mac.com/bradleyoder/iWeb/Triangle%20PolySteel/WhatIsPolySteel.html
    In iWeb, all links are good to go, no overlapping, etc. Curiously enough, on this page, there are even more dysfunctional hyperlinks with those image boxes.
    Any further thoughts?

  • Photo projects do not import properly from Elements to Premier Elements 10

    I created two photo projects in Elements 10.  All of the photos were taken from the same two cameras at roughly the same time in the same way.  I put music to each project in Elements.  I spent more than a few hours mating music to the still photos in both projects.  I then imported both projects into Premnier Elements and combined them with a video project awaiting them there.  One of the proejcts played in Premier exactly as it did in Elements.  In the other project, however, the music was out of sync with the the photos; it started about two frames too early.  Also at least one of the pictures had changed orientation.  How do i get both photo projects to import properly?

    What were the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Still Images?
    What was the Frame Size, of the PrE Projects?
    How do you plan on delivering the resultant files?

  • Lightroom 3:  images not imported because the files can not be read:

    Nikon D700 NEF files are fine.  I can copy them to a folder and work with them in Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. 
    LR3 will not import them to the existing catalog from the CF Disk or from a folder on the c:\drive.  I tried creating a new catalog -- the same problem occurs.
    Suggestions are welcomed.

    I have the latest version
    LR 3.4.1
    Camera Raw 6.4.1
    I created a new Catalog in c:\My Documents\LR2011\...
    Running Windows 7 64 bit
    Emptied the ReCycle bin
    Have plenty of storage...
    Now I'm getting the message:  "Could not copy file to requested location"
    Everything worked fine with LR 2 and the LR 3.0
    Since upgrading I can't read NEF files from my D700 or copy to requested location.  LR will display thumbnails, but I can not add to my now, non-existent Catalog...
    What a farce!!!

  • Image not rendering properly on timeline

    I'm working on an animatic using still images.  Occassionally, I need to scale in or move the image a bit.  This means FCPX has to render the image, which it usually does, but I am finding that in some cases, the image appears blurry when played at normal running speed, but when I pause, it's nice and clear.  Why is the image not rendering so that it plays clear when running?  The orange bar is not displayed to suggest it needs to render still.

    Uh, yup, that sure solved it.  Thanks Tom.

  • Tiff images not display properly

    After installing iPhoto 6, none of the 1600 files in .tiff format imported via a Lexmark scanner are showing up correctly. (They worked perfectly well in iPhoto 5)
    I get a blurred scribbled squashed image a little like a TV channel that hasn't been set correctly.
    If I go back and click on the files in the Finder, they open beautifully in Preview.
    This lead me to believe there was an issue with the tiff-format and I promptly converted a copy of the files to jpegs.
    Unfortunately this left me with a new problem as three white lines now appear thru all the pictures in jpeg format.
    Luckily I never deleted or moved the .tiff files, so I am still hoping to use those.
    Will there be an Apple update which fixes this or will I have to re-scan and date/title- another (sigh) 1600 pictures? (please, someone tell me no)
    Best wishes,
    N

    I think I found the fix.
    As I mentioned in my previous post, I have also been having trouble with TIFF images and iPhoto 6.
    Today I downloaded the new iPhoto 6.01 update. But, that didn't fix the problem either. So much for Apple fixing it.
    Anyway, I have been experimenting, and finally found a difference between images that worked and those that didn't.
    The images that worked, have an ICC profile embedded in them from the device that created the image (in my case my scanner).
    So, I set out to find out if simply removing the ICC profile would fix the problem.
    And, through my experimenting, I found that if I opened the image in another program, and then exported it as either a TIFF (the same format) or a JPEG that the resulting image would open in iPhoto 6 just fine.
    Further examination demonstrated that the ICC information was removed from the exported file.
    As I understand it, ICC is basically an image color correction / calibration tag. It enables different devices to properly display and print the image with the proper colors.
    Basically, each device has a color profile (scanner, monitor, printer, camera, etc.). This is to make sure that when you see something on the screen that it looks the same as when you print it out. Likewise, you want the image on the screen to match what the scanner and digital camera saw.
    So, these are essentially conversion tables to make sure that each device properly displays or prints the image as the original source "saw" it.
    Anyway, not wanting to manually strip this information from each file, I looked on the Internet for an automated solution. And, fortunately I found one.
    http://www.colormanagement.com/technicalresources/files_targets_and_utilities/mac_os_xscripts/
    The file you are looking for is "Mac Os X ColorSync Toolbar Script: Remove ICC profile". Click on the title just mentioned to download the script.
    It is a Macintosh Script that you simply download to your desktop (or anywhere else you would prefer). It is in a Stuffit Archive, so you'll need Stuffit Expander to decompress it (basically the Mac equivalent of a ZIP file).
    Once decompressed, you should see a "script" icon that is labeled "Remove Profile".
    Simply "drag" your original files and drop them onto this icon / script. The script will then remove the embedded ICC information from the image file.
    Once you have removed the ICC information from your image's file, try importing it into iPhoto 6 again. Then, see if it works
    It is important that you perform this on a backup / duplicate copy of your original files. You don't want to damage your only copy if something goes wrong.
    Now, one further note: If you do this, you may see the image looks different. In my case, the image is truer to the way it really looked when I scanned it in. The paper texture looks right now.
    If you want to do this while keeping the image's appearance the same as it looks now, then here's another way:
    Open the file in Apple's "Preview" program. This is usually the default image view.
    Then, do a "Save As" or "Export" to create a new copy of the image. If you perform an Export, be sure to set the image quality high or you may inadvertently reduce your pictures detail (especially if you export to JPEG).
    This essentially does the same thing. But, it will take more work if you have multiple images.
    Using the previously mentioned script, you should be able to drag and drop multiple files in a group.
    Anyway, I hope this helps the rest of you out.
    Let me know if it fixes the problem for you as well.

  • Disk Utility Crashing and Disk Images Not Opening Properly?

    Hi,
    I got a new G-Tech 500GB external drive that I've got into three partitions. All of them have Tiger on them but the main one I'm using is giving me problems. I have Stuffit Expander 11 on here and when I try to open a disk image it looks like it's opening but doesn't. Also I try and open Disk Utility and it crashes on me. I did a repair disk permissions a few hours ago after restarting up again and it seemed to be fine but now the problem is back.
    The other problem I have on and off is that out of the three partitions I'm supposed to put them in the trash before shutting down and sometimes the two not in use won't go in the trash.
    Any ideas? The two other partitions I have right now I'm using for recovery stuff from my internal drive.
    S.

    Its the improper unmount of the firewire drive which is the problem. Try to reset all.
    1. Shut-down your Mac, and unplug the power cord
    2. Turn the power off on your external FireWire devices
    3. Unplug the FireWire devices from the Mac
    4. Wait for 5 min.
    5. Plug the power cord to your Mac only
    6. Restart the Mac while holding the Option-Apple-O-F, and keep holding until you get the ">" prompt, then release the keys
    7. At the ">" prompt type:
          reset-nvram and hit the Return key
          set-defaults and hit the Return key
          reset-all and hit the Return key
    the last command will restart your mac
    8. Shut down your Mac
    9. Connect all your FireWire devices to the Mac and turn them on
    10. Restart your Mac.
    All your FireWire devices should reapear, if not repeat the procedure
    How to avoid the issue :
    The only really proven way to avoid burning up a FireWire port is to connect all devices and to turn them on PRIOR turning on the Mac. Likely, one must unplug them and turn them off AFTER the Mac has been turned off. If you need to connect another device, then you're on for a shutdown of your machine... 
It's a tad annoying but it guarantees that the FW ports won't be damaged. 
Be careful when using self powered devices such as webcams, iPods, hard drives or hubs, as they can destroy the port pretty easily. Another thing is to avoid daisy-chaining hard drives.
    When the FW port doesn't respond anymore :
    In this case, peripherals won't be mounted upon plugging, and won't be displayed in Apple's System Profiler. The self powered devices will still be fed by the port, but won't respond either. 
It happens that the PHY just hangs after a surge or a random problem. Once hung, the port will not respond any longer, it is possible to reset the component by going through the following steps :
    1° boot the mac in Open Firmware by holding [ Apple key - Option - O - F ] after the startup chime. 
2° you'll get to a command prompt. the keyboard mapping will be QWERTY, so pay attention when you type the following : 
RESET-NVRAM (enter) 
RESET-ALL (enter) 
3° Now the mac should restart itself and the port should function properly again. 
If it still doesn't work, then it means that the PHY is damaged.

  • Scanned Images Not Viewing Properly

    So a weird thing has happened this evening. I spent most of the afternoon scanning in old photos using Image Capture. I have a bunch of jpeg files at 300 dpi of these photos. I can see all of the images in Finder on the folders I created on my desktop, however when I import those folders into iPhoto the images just become black squares. If I double click on the black square I can see the image, but I don't understand why I can't see the images without clicking on them. I have done this the same way previously with satisfactory results. What am I doing wrong this time? Some of these images are b/w and some are color...

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You scanned the B/W photos as grayscale color mode and iPhoto doesn't support color scale. You'll need to convert them to the RGB color mode and add the sRGB color profile with a 3rd party application or rescan them as color photos.
    You can use ColorSync Utility to assign the sRGB color profile to the photos.
    If you have Photoshop Elements or PS you can convert them also.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
