Import Corruption in Lightroom CC?

Can anyone suggest what is going on with this import corruption in Lightroom CC?  Reinstall LRCC?  First photo imported with LRCC; second imported with Nikon Transfer.  Both imported in NEF and these are SOOC jpg conversions.  Thanks.

Nikon Transfer
Maybe reinstall LRCC?  Thanks for any help.

This is always a hardware malfunction. It could be anywhere from the camera to the card to the card reader/USB port or USB Cable, computer hard disk or computer memory. Re-installing LR won't fix this problem.

  • HELP!!! Raw files are corrupt in lightroom 3

    So I am new to lightroom 3 and have been im
    porting jpegs  for the past 6 weeks. Just changed to raw images.
    Imported 100 images they were all fine until I got into the development mode and then 33 of the 100 were corrupt
    . So I tried a different card, same problem.
    So I just bought a new card and installed lightroom 3.2 and tried 100 images again
    THIS TIME IS WAS WORSE!!!!
    This time even in development it was fine, and the histogram even showed perfect and then about 3 seconds later the histogram gets wiped and the image goes corrupt????
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problems though it is just a few per shoot.  I also don't think it is a hardware issue (though I've sure sometimes it could be).  I've had it happen using different CF cards.  And the file doesn't seem to be corrupt on transfering to my hard drive.  I'm using a Canon 40D.  Using Lightroom 3.2 64bit.  I shoot in RAW.  Here is my work flow.
    I import the photos to my external hard drive via the camera.
    I then back up the originals before importing into Lightroom by burning them to back up discs.
    I then import them into Lightroom from their location.
    Upon initial look everything is fine but when you actually select an image and the preview is fully rendered you can see the corrupt image.  Usually a white rectangle in the bottom right side the image.  Sometimes you get the yellow and pink streaking in that same area as well.
    In trying to open the original file from my hard drive using just my basic Canon Digital Photo Proffesional after it was imported into LR it also states that the image is corrupted. 
    Now if I get out my back up disc and copy that image to my desktop and open it in Canon Digital Photo Proffesional it opens it without problem.  There is no corruption.  So the file that I backed up from my hardrive shows no corruption.  I think the original file is fine.
    I then copied the image from my desktop to the original folder on my external hardrive overwriting it.  The image in lightroom is now fine.  There is no corruption.
    Process of elimination leads me to believe that the corruption happens on importing into Lightroom.  It isn't my cards (different cards same problem).  It isn't my external hardrive as the file copied from that drive is fine.  It seems random especially being that I can overwrite the file with the same file and then it is fine.
    I really hope this problem is sovled quickly.  This to me is a BIG deal.

  • I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work.  Can you help?

    I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  Can someone help?  I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

    I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
    Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

  • How do I correctly import images into Lightroom?

    Before installing Adobe Creative Cloud, I deleted Adobe Elements and all files in My Pictures on my hard drive so I could start fresh. I copied groups of images from CS5 Bridge on my old pc onto an empty flashdrive and tried to import them to Lightroom. In addition to those copied images, whole bunches of other images imported. Even worse, those added images were sorted strangely, not even belonging to the groups as I had them in my old pc.

    Since you used the Copy import type, at least the images are also where they originally were, other than those on the flash-drive which was a temporary location for images from another location except when you plug it in.
    So there seem to be two unexpected things: more images were imported than you wanted to be imported, and some of the images are in folders that don't match the date they were taken.
    The folder-date mismatch might be due to some of the photos not having a taken-date in the exif information so the date they were last modified is used, instead.  You should check your destination naming options in LR to see if you have things set to import into date folders or not.  If not, then you actually specified that LR import a particular import's photos into a specifically-named folder that you typed the name of.
    As far as how extra photos got imported, only you can answer that.  It would have to do with where you told LR to import from and if you have Include Subfolders selected.  There is a way to specify an Auto Import folder using LR / File / Auto Import where LR will watch for photo files and import photos it see show up in that folder, but I doubt that is the problem.
    You'll have to decide on what to do now.  If you have all the photos still on the flash drive, then you might want to start over.  However, also think about if you want to be doing a Copy Import into your pictures folder from everywhere else, or if you want to use Explorer to copy the photos, yourself, outside of LR and do an Add import.  A Copy import from the flash drive could make more sense, since that is only a temporary location for the photos, but for other photos already on your computer, an Add import might make more sense.  If you use your OS copy commands to move photos from the flash drive to your computer's internal drive, you can decide what to name the folders, instead of LR choosing, if you have LR Import set to use dates.
    If things aren't in completely the wrong places, you can drag-and-drop within the LR Library Folders panel to put things where you want, and you can also right-click Remove (without deleting from disk) any extra photos.
    Also, there is nothing magic about the Pictures folder.  You can choose to make a new folder and put your LR photos under it. 
    The bottom line is that LR isn't doing anything more than what you told it to do, and it sounds like you just aren't aware of all the settings enabled during your imports so unexpected things happened.

  • Importing Images in Lightroom 5 on Mac

    Hello, Can someone please assist me in importing images? When I try to import my images from an external hard drive, I only see the file name in grid view. If I click on one file, I can see the image in Loupe view. However, I am still unable to import the photos.

    Lightroom is notoriously fickle when trying to import direct from an attached camera. Have you got a card reader that you could use? If not, try copying the files from the camera to your hard drive, then try importing from there using the "Add" option.

  • Import issue with Lightroom

    I upgraded to LR5.2 2 weeks ago from 4.3. Install went fine, but I'm now having issues when importing my photos, Lightroom hangs partially through the import.  The only choice I have then is to force quit the program, which then freezes my computer.  Getting to be an invredibly frustrating exercise.
    I have an iMac with OSX10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
    Lightroom 5.2
    Importing & converting CR2 files (5DMkIII) to DNG.
    Images being imported to an external hard drive.
    Nothing has changed in my workflow or software except for the installation of LR5.  I did read in some of the forums that there was import issues that appear to have been fixed with the latest release, however, whilst I DEFINTIELY have the latest release of LR5,  this is still occurring.  Any ideas? Another bug?
    Cheers
    Sarah

    sure did. All permissions are admin & I'm it.  I haven't tried DL via image capture - LR4 gets me to the same end goal, tis just rather onerous to have to muck around with this twice.  Appreciate your taking the time on this 

  • Horrendous import problems in Lightroom 3 64bit

    Hi, I'm in desperate need of some advice in figuring out why Lightroom 3 won't import NEF files taken on a D90. I know there that other threads have been started about this issue, but mine has gone a bit further
    Not sure where to start with this so system first: OS Windows 7 home Premium 64 bit, 8GB Ram, 1.5TB HD, Intel i7 860 2.8ghz, ATI Radeon 5700 Display driver series, lightroom 3 64 bit installed.
    The first issue is that import in lightroom either A) Starts the import, gets through about 10 NEF files and locks/hangs indefinately followed by the Lightroom is not responding message and lightroom has to be closed down or B) Opens import module but locks/hangs whilst trying to find the images which are on an SD card - this happens whether the card is inserted into the PC card reader, an external card reader or direct from camera or C) Will not even consider opening the import module. The import module also freezes/hangs when trying to create a new catalogue. As it stands I'm unable to import directly into Lightroom from an SD card - and I've tried different cards and brands.
    The strange thing is I'm having a similar issue trying to transfer the NEF files by using windows explorer - i.e. freezes & hangs, however after a number of attempts I am eventually able to copy the files over to the HD - although it is so slow.... & back-up to an external HD. Now here's the strange thing, once the NEFfiles are transfered onto the HD Lightroom will import them, but not without a fight. Again in the import module it freezes/hangs but when the "lightroom is not responding" message comes up, if you choose the "wait until lightroom" responds option it eventually imports the chosen files.
    I've tried all the usual fixes - start a new catalogue, delete preferences & .lock files, unistall & re-install, update codecs for Nikon files, recalibrate the colour profile, use a generic sRGB profile, update ATI drivers etc
    All other modules etc appear to work fine, although I don't use all of them, but certainly everything in library and develop aooears normal
    As it currently stands I'm having to reconsider whether I want to continue investing in the Lightroom system as it just isn't acceptable for this to keep occuring and no fixes released by Adobe. I've used lightroom since 1.0 and Nikon NEf files through that time, but since version 3 it has become impossible to utilise
    I'd be really grateful for any help or advice, be eternally grateful if someone has a fix or even better if Adobe fixed the bleeding issue!
    Cheers
    Steve

    Unlike the end of the linked thread, the OP does not have the problem of a hidden-dialog waiting for input because the import finishes eventually when importing from the hard-drive.
    In the linked thread, it is possible that Adobe would be entirely to blame for such a situation, but it is more likely that they are relying on the operating system and the display-driver to do certain things, and so are only responsible for detecting that something is wrong and handling it more gracefully.  The problem might magically go away with the next version of LR, the next version of the display driver, or the next operating-system service pack or update.  The hope would be that Adobe can reproduce the issue, and either fix their code, or at least provide a workaround for a buggy display driver.  A main challenge for Adobe is that they have created their own look and feel for the product and have to get it to act the same on both the Windows and Mac platforms.  That is not easy, and there are likely many bugs still to discover and fix.

  • I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.

    I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.  I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100.  I have a Mac using 10.6.8.  I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files.  This happens with both raw and jpeg files.  Thanks for a repl

    thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission.  I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer.  It says can not read files with a code "298".  I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode.  I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

  • I can't import photos in Lightroom 3.4.

    I can't import photos in Lightroom 3.4. No problems with Lightroom 3.3, seems to be due to the 3.4 update.
    Connected Nikon D80 directly to laptop (MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5). Upon import (RAW) get error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Previews show up OK. I'm importing to an Iomega external HD with 321 GB available, and "Make a Second Copy To" a Maxtor external HD with 300 GB available.
    Also tried using a SanDisk card reader (ImageMate SDDR-99 V3) with same results.
    I've tried 3 different SD cards: Kingston 2GB, PNY 4GB, and Lexar 2GB, all with same results.
    I've tried importing JPG photos from Nikon Coolpix S6000, with same results.
    I've even copied JPG files to laptop HD, and tried importing that way. Get same error message.
    I've optimized the catalog, and still won't work. (Catalog contains 14,422 images.)
    JPGs import fine into iPhoto on another computer (Mac G4).
    Also tried different USB ports on laptop, with same results.
    Any suggestions...

    Problem resolved...Ran disk repair on Iomega HD. Disk Utility found and repaired problems. Uploads to Lightroom now function as normal.

  • Help with importing pictures in Lightroom

    I have Lightroom 3 I’m trying to add my pictures from my Sony when I import the pictures Lightroom comes up with “The following files were not imported because they could not be read” I have windows 7

    Also, are you trying to import directly from the camera, or via a card reader?  If your camera is on the supported list (and that's my first guess too), then try copying the files to your hard drive and importing from there, and see if that works.
