Import JPEG files become corrupt

I'm making a slideshow and when I import JPEG files, a large quantity of them will import, but on the display they show up with lots of green, blue, and purple highlights...in fact, thats about the only colors you see. I can't find anything wrong with the files, they open in all other CS4 apps just fine. I tried different methods of importing and reimporting but it doesn't change. The same files still show up all corrupt. I opened the files in Photoshop and saved them again as a JPEG and it's still the same problem.
TIFFs are the same way.
If I open the photos in Photoshop and save them as PSD they work just fine (other than the much larger file size) and PNG files work fine as well.
I have several hundred photos to put in this very lengthy slideshow so I'm looking for a fix without having to batch all the files to save as PSD which will each up my hard drive space.
Thanks!
John

I am a big fan of keeping images in .PSD format and ascribe to John's suggestion. I even did an ARTICLE on automating the resizing in PS, prior to Import. While primarily written for use with an NLE (where I create the vast majority of my SlideShows), the same applies to Encore.
Good luck,

Windows 7 64-bit Copying files to external usb drive - files becomes corrupted.

Hi All,
I am getting intermittent problem with regards to copying files to usb external hard drive from my laptop.
When file is copied to external drive, the file becomes corrupt from the external drive.
I have to repeat around 2 to 3 times or more to re-copy the file again until file is not corrupted.
Appreciate of any help.

Ok, lets be brief.
This problem is annoying me for years. It is totally reproducible although random. It happens when copying to external drives (mainly USB) when they are configured for "safe removal". I have had issues copying to NTFS and FAT32 partitions. I have
had issues using 4 different computers, from 7 years old to brand new ones, using AMD or intel chipsets and totally different USB controllers, and using many different USB sticks, hard disks, etc. The only common thing in those computers is Windows 7 x64 and
the external drives optimization for "safe removal". Installing Teracopy reduces the chances of data corrpution, but does not eliminate them completely. The only real workaround (tested for 2 years) is activating the write cache in the device manager
properties of the drive. In that way, windows uses the same transfer mechanisms as for the internal drives, and everything is OK.
MICROSOFT guys, there is a BIG BUG in windows 7 x64 external drives data transfer mechanism. There is a bug in the cache handling mechanism of the safe removal function. Nobody hears, I've been years talking about this in forums. It is a very dangerous bug
because it is silent, and many non professional people is experiencing random errors in their backup data. PLEASE, INVESTIGATE THIS. YOU NEED TO FIX SUCH IMPORTANT BUG. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT IT IS STILL THERE SINCE 2009!!!
Hope this helps.

I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
still import the JPEGS.

After upgrading to version 6 my ArcGIS files become corrupted if I save them while I have FF open (sporadic occurence, but limited to FF being open). How can I downgrade to version 5?

I am using ArcGIS 10 and Firefox 6 on Windows XP.
After upgrading to version 6 my ArcGIS files become corrupted if I save them while I have FF open (sporadic occurence, but limited to FF being open). Any ideas of what could be causing this? I have also posted on the ArcGIS forum site for input from that side.
How can I downgrade to version 5? If that is the only option available.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't have to process the php, it just has to show the HTML content. It did that just fine before the last upgrade but won't now.
I've seen that page you referenced: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions.
It doesn't help. The things it says to look for aren't there for me, specifically:
browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes
plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types
I followed the rest of the instructions but it didn't help.
I did get it to quit opening tabs, instead it prompts me what it should do with the file every time now. What it should do, and used to do, is open the php page and display the HTML content.
Any other ideas?

When Password Protected - The File Becomes Corrupted and I Can Not Open It

I have password protected two files now in Excel 2007. After opening and then saving a few times, the file becomes corrupted and I cannot open. The following error message appears "Excel cannot open the file"XXXX.xlsx" because
the file format or file extenson is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
The files that I created contains sensitive information and I really need to get to them.l

You can try to open these files with 'Open and Repair' .
1.Start Excel.
2.click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Open.
3.In the Open dialog box, click to select the file that you want to open.
4.Click the down arrow on the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
Also this issue could be caused by malware on the affected machine
Please see:http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2013/09/07/quot-cannot-open-the-file-because-the-file-format-or-extension-is-invalid-quot-opening-office-files.aspx
Some one works out this issue with remove the xlsx entention,give it a try.
1. rename the file and remove the .xlsx or .xls extention etc e.g. if my file is called test.xlsx I remove the '.xlsx' - you will get a warning message saying this could make the document unstable - accept it
2. the document icon should now have turned white (the document won't look like an excel document anymore)
3. open a blank excel document by hitting start -> all programs -> Microsoft office -> excel (this may be different if your not on windows 7)
4. in your blank excel document hit file -> open
5. navigate to the document you renamed above and select it, now click open

Aperture not showing (just black) newly imported JPEG files

RE: Aperture not showing newly imported JPEG files.
In fact its just black instead of the actual image. (see attached screen shot)
When double clicking on this - i.e. to go to the edit mode, the image then appears.
If I return to the viewing screen without changing anything to that image it remains black.
If I make any kind of change to the image, the image will appear when returning to the viewing screen.
Aperture seems only to have started behaving like this after update to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)
I have the latest Aperture 3.6
Latest Digital Camera Raw 6.00 Build 761.5 and Digital Camera Raw Support 6000 Build 131.1
RAW files (taken with same camera) are displayed without any issues.
JPEG image files have been taken with a Sony RX100
JPEG image files taken with the same device imported into Aperture before OSX update to 10.10 have appear to have no issues
I cannot say if JPEG files taken with a different device have similar issues.
All files have been been reprocessed to latest edition of aperture
I have had other issues of other types of files (i.e. TIFF output files 'unsupported image format' behaving oddly including inconsistent behaviour after having been processed by 3rd party aperture plug-in's - although this has now largely been solved.
I remember having similar issues of files behaving strangely in Aperture after last update to OS X (Mavericks) - forget how this was solved - but I'm pretty sure it was not an issue involving JPEGS
Many thanks

...this sounds very similar to the problem I had on a previous aperture update and I had a similar issue - to that - with the .tiff files output from RAW files and an HDR plug-in.
In the first instance, I cannot remember for sure, but maybe it was something to do with not having the latest RAW File update for Aperture specific to that latest Aperture Update and specific to a Sony RX100 (or it could have been a Nikon d700).
I found the RAW file update - I'm not sure it was being made available from the App Store - and everything was fine.
With the more recent issue, I'm pretty sure this was resolved by updating to the latest Photomatix HDR plug-in.
So I'm just stuck on the issue with the JPEGs now.

IPhoto crashes when I try to import jpeg files

I am trying to import jpeg files stored on the internal hard drive of my iBook G4. The jpegs were created in Photoshop Elements. I have imported such files before in previous versions of iPhoto. However, when I try to do this using iPhoto 6.0.5 the program crashes. I have tried several different photos each with the same result. Any ideas? Thank you .

Does this article help?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304487
Try setting the colour profile with Preview on one or two to see if that helps. If it does, then Old Toad has created an Automator Workflow that you can use. Simply drop the affected files onto the icon and it will embed an sRGB to the files. You can download the workflow from here:

Two different macs?
Use AirDrop to transfer the file. Then drag and drop it inot the Pages document.
Same mac?
Drag and drop.

Getting error message on import that says can't import jpeg files and won't import

why can't I import from the camera that I always use with my iPhoto? On connecting the camera, error message says "can't import jpeg files." None of my camera settings have changed. Is it a problem of connectivity with old camera and new iPhoto '11?

Not an old camera problem - most likely a memory card format problem - when was the last time you reformated yoru card?
What camera do you have? Does image capture work?

Unable to Edit Imported Jpeg files.

I'm currently using iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10. I have created jpg stills from .mov projects using QT Pro and imported them successfully into a previous version of iPhoto where I was able to crop them and make rudimentary color and exposure adjustments. With the new iPhoto 9.6 I cannot. I get an error message "Image Cannot Be Edited. The original format is not supported."
So I am assuming the only way to edit these imported jpegs is to open them in Lightroom or Photoshop make my adjustments and then attempt to re-import them into iPhoto or maybe just stop using iPhoto all together for this kind of file?

Yes "master" copies of files - those located in the iPhoto >>package contents >> Masters folder organized by import date - once they have been edited from within iPhoto (exposure corrections, cropping, straightening, etc) become the master copies.
Bewilderingly vague. They are the masters. They are never edited. The photos are edited and the results recorded in the SQL database. The never "become the Master copies". They are the Masters and never become anything.
To prove this I have selected a master file from with this directory and created a copy of it on the desktop where I gave it a new name, then re-imported it to iPhoto and re-opened it there. It is a virtual clone of the original edited file - edited from within iPhoto save for its name - an "edited master".
If you made a copy of a Master then it's not a virtual clone it's an actual clone. "It is a virtual clone of the original edited file" Huh? What's an "original edited file"? It's a Master or something else? Which is it? There is no concept in iPhoto of 'edited Master'. There are Masters. That's the file as imported from your camera. It is never edited. End of story.
Subsequently from within iPhoto I have chosen the original photo - the one that had been modified to begin with - and reverted this file to its original version. So then I had two masters of the same shot - one edited and one in its originally imported state. Why did I do this (and originate this post)?
No you didn't. You had two masters to begin with and thereafter you had two masters at the end. When you reverted to original all you did was delete the edit decisions for the database and destroy a preview. In no case was the Master touched.
The terminology is important because it explains how the app works. You're conflating photos (which are edited in iPhoto) with files (which are never edited in iPhoto), all photo edits are virtual until baked in on export. That's why the concept and the term Master is important. Edited Master means nothing, Master of an Edited Photo does, but that's a different thing.
Because I could not re-edit or export these affected photos unless I first re-imported them to iPhoto by either locating the original files from storage media or making copies of them from iPhoto's package contents>>masters folder as above and importing them back into the iPhoto library. Once I did this - there were a lot of these affected files - I could edit and export to my heart's content. Remember, these files were modified from within earlier versions iPhoto itself. Yes, some files had been converted to jpegs from original PICT exports out QT Pro using Photoshop Elements.
Because your database was corrupted. It has nothing to do with Masters/Versions or anything else. It was broken.
How do I explain this apparent corruption of the iPhoto library database? Disclaimers to the contrary, I put the onus on having to convert the db every time there is an app iteration which is sometimes coupled with an OS upgrade (like with Yosemite). I suspect that the file metadata is susceptible to corruption during these upgrades. It is the only variable in an otherwise static and stable environment that could possibly result in library corruption short of hardware failure.
That's one possibility. Here are some more: anytime the app is interrupted writing to the database - by a crash, hang or even a power surge, bad blocks on a disk - there are many possibilities..
And again, there is no need to convert the db "every time there is an app iteration". There are updates when it is not necessary. And, as I keep on saying, OS upgrades make no difference. It's app upgrades only.

Quicktime file becomes corrupted only after transfer from a camera

I have encountered an unusual Quicktime-related problem with a customer that I cannot solve. This has been tested on two different cameras (a Kodak Zi6 and a Casio EX-Z80) to verify it is not camera related. The customer has also tested it on his desktop and laptop computers to verify it occurs on both. It must be confined to some specific piece of software he installs, because I've never run into this problem elsewhere. His two computers both run Vista.
1. He shoots video.
2. Opens Quicktime.
3. Plays the video (AVI or MOV... doesn't matter) while the video RESIDES on his camera. It plays fine.
4. Has tried taking the SD card out of the camera, putting it into his laptop, then playing the video while it resides on the card. It plays fine.
5. BUT... the moment he transfers the video file to his desktop and plays it in Quicktime, it becomes corrupted. It does play, but the image develops all kinds of blockyness and distorted colors. It becomes useless.
Any clues as to which software program he is installing that makes this problem occur? I have hundreds of other customers who use these same cameras and have no similar problem.
Thanks.
Richard

The video file is able to be transfered to the hard drive of the computer and it does play with QT, but with blockyness and distorted colors, correct? That would suggest to me video card and\or driver. The reason being if the file was not supported by QT or WMP it would not even play. QT would produce error 2048 and WMP would inform it could not handle the file. But...
I would go to the Window menu of QT player and click on Show Movie Inspector to get some info on the video file.
salaminizer, makes a good point on the possibilty of NTFS\FAT32 file systems. Right clicking on My Computer>Manage>Disk Management will show info of HD's on the computer. Some bought computers will have a back-up Partition that uses Fat32. Which the video might be being saved to.
I'm thinking video card and drivers, but on two separate computers? So find out the video codecs. It's tough unless you have the same camera or what software came with it? Let me know how you make out.

Imported AVI Files becomes extremely dark in Premiere

Using a microscope digital camera, I record 32-bit avi files with resolutions of about 2000x1500, these files are very large (about 1.5 gb per minute). Watching the AVI files, they are very bright and everything can be seen cleanly.
I would like to convert them down to much smaller sizes, and I am using Premiere for this
Occasionally when I import the files to Adobe Premiere, they become extremely dark, so dark that it is difficult to make anything out. This happens without me doing anything besides selecting the file and importing it. It does not seem to occur with every video file that I try to convert.
Can anyone help me with this? What is going on with Premiere to cause this, how can I fix it or get around it?
Thank you

Wow. Good thing you said "32-bit avi files", otherwise I would not have had a clue! You're welcome, and I'm glad it is working for you.
BTW -- That's really cool that your microscope can do this; especially that it includes transparency data. Very neat.
You could also try leaving the alpha channel alone and placing a white or gray matte behind it.

Import jpeg files into iPhoto library - closes iPhoto

I scanned some images and saved them as jpeg. They will open and display fine using various applications. When I try to use File > Import from iPhoto 6, iPhoto closes without importing the file. When I reopen iPhoto, a message tells me that an image file in the library failed to import and I'm prompted to import it. Why I say yes, it again closes without importing.
I've tried this with numerous files, always with the same result. And this also occurs if I use the drag & drop method, rather than using the imprt function.
Any suggestions? I'm running OS X 10.3.9
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your suggestion led me to the solution, I think. Thank you.
The original scans were VERY large (about 4 MB each) and were stored in .JP2 format (a .JPEG format updated in 2000 to reduce lossiness.) They "choked" iPhoto.
I re-saved them in uncompressed .TIF format and also saved resized versions of under 1 MB each.
Result: As .TIF files, iPhoto accepted both the large (as big as 6.2 MB) and the smaller (1 MB) files.
Theory: The problem was with the .JP2 and resaved .JPG files. I think that iPhoto won't deal with .JP2 formatted images, even if they have been resaved as regular .JPGs.

Can't import jpeg files to iPhoto

iPhoto will not recognise my jpeg files. I am using iPhoto 9.6.1
