Lightroom 2 for Mac Corrupting RAW Files?

Lightroom 2 for Mac is seems to be corrupting a number of my raw images after during preview rendering..
The image as it appears in Library...

However, sometimes, when you go to develop the image looks correct...
http://picasaweb.google.com/scott.albrecht/AbobeIssues#5245913634737931682
and sometime it appears the same from Library to Develop.
I have seen this behavior with:
USB 2.0 attached disk, internal storage, as well as a gig-e attached RAID 5 NAS device.
and when importing from different cards such as SANDisk Extreme III, IV and Ultra 2 and importing from cameras (two models) and card reader.
Has anyone experienced the sames issues? Any ideas on how to correct this as it has ruined several photographs?

I think there is another thread about this problem. I notice it too. However, CTRL - # does work to switch you back and forth within the different spaces and that's what I'm now doing. I also make sure and run Photoshop and any other related software tools within the same SPACES space that LR is running. I run LR in Space #2. So CTRL-2 quickly switches me back to LR from any other application. CMD-TAB however will not switch me back to the proper SPACE where LR is running unless I'm already there.
How LR manages to break this nice feature within the Apple OS, I've no clue. But, broken, it is.

  • Corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5.

    I'm having an issue with corrupt RAW files in Lightroom 5. I have all of my RAW files stored on an external NAS system. Typically, I mainly work on my files on my PC's hard drive. The NAS is for storage only. However, in the past I have looked through the external files with Adobe Camera RAW and have called up files from there to work on, if it's a photo I want to rework. Recently I have started using Lightroom 5. So the other day, I added a folder from the NAS external to Lightroom 5 to look at some of the RAW files. A LOT of the files looked corrupt with white blocks and pink or yellow lines running across the photo. I closed lightroom and pulled up those same files in Adobe RAW and get the same issue. I copied them to my PC's hard drive and still have the issue. This has never happened until using Lightroom. I know Lightroom is not supposed to actually do anything to the files, however, this is very coincidental. Did Lightroom do something to these images, or was it coincidence that the files became corrupt at the same time I started using Lightroom? Any solutions?

    I am wondering about the drive. I know that it is not the CF card and it wasn't a reader for the following reasons. I download directly from the camera to the PC without a reader. I downloaded these last July and worked on them on and off for several weeks without issue. I have also pulled up the occasional file from this same batch a couple times this winter without issue. It was only when I pulled them up yesterday in Lightroom that this problem occurred.

  • Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the  Canon Sureshot S95

    Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
    after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

    (1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW.  Hardly a satisfactory solution.
    (I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ). 
    (2) SUGGESTION-  even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting).  I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
    Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs.  So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
    JJ
    *  (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

  • 64 bit installation in Lightroom 2 for MAC

    The readme file that came with Lightroom 2 for MAC states:
    "Mac: Lightroom 2 is a 32-bit application by default. For customers using OS X 10.5 on an Intel-based computer, Lightroom 2.0 can be used as a 64-bit application by selecting Adobe Lightroom 2 in the Application folder, choosing Get Info(CMD I) and un-checking the Open in 32 Bit Mode option".
    Sorry but I don't follow these instructions. The dmg file does not include a Get Info (CMD I) file. Installing Lightroom 2 to the application folder works fine, but I only find the "Adobe Lightroom.app" file. Right clicking this app file and selecting Get Info brings up the file information window, but there is no box to uncheck to turn off the 32 Bit Mode option. I don't find anything of use in the "application support file" either.
    Help! What have I done wrong or am I looking in the wrong place?
    iMAC description: OS X version 10.5.4; Processor 1.83 GHz Core Duo; Memory 2GB; Grpahics card ATI Radeon X1600; 128 MB VRAM; Resolution 1440 x 900; Depth 32-bit Color; Home hard drive 124 GB free with Lightroom 1 & 2 installed.

    Thanks for all the responses. Didn't realize Core Due processor was not 64 bit capable. Assume that is why I don't see a check box for "Open in 32 Bit Mode" in my "Get Info" window.
    Sincerely,
    Jim Strain

  • Lightroom 4 does not import RAW files from D610

    I've just purchased Nikon D610, and my Lightroom 4 is not importing RAW files anymore. What is the problem?

    The current version of LR 5 is 5.7 so I’d guess LR 6 will be out at some point later this year, in the next few months.  If money’s no object then upgrade to LR 5, now and to LR 6 in a few months.  If you’ll be very upset to learn you’ve paid $80 to upgrade and then need to pay another upgrade fee for LR 6 then maybe wait and do the DNG thing for a few months, and then upgrade from LR4 to LR6.
    The other concern is whether your OS is new enough.  I’d suggest you download the latest LR 5.7.1 update and run that in trial mode for a few weeks—you have 30 days, to make sure your computer can handle it, before spending the money and finding out you need a new computer, first.
    The other thing to consider is the $10/month Photography Plan subscription which gets you the most up-to-date versions of Lightroom and Photoshop as long as you keep paying.  Since you have your old LR4 serial number, you can decide to cancel the subscription after a year and use the LR4 serial number to buy the LR 6 upgrade, then.  This assumes that LR 6 will be available as a serial-number-licensed product, still.
    The latest LR 5.7.1 update is here:

    The lens profiles added to each version are listed here:

  • I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700.  I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help...

    I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700.  I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help...  Is there a plug in or update I can get?  I can't afford new software after new camera and new lense!

    Lightroom 1.4.1 does not support native (NEF) files from the D700 because the camera didn't even exist when it was released. To get support you have two options: upgrade to Lr 2.x (paid for upgrade) or convert your NEF files to DNG.
    DNG converter 5.4 can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ (see right hand side of page)

  • How to import RAF format raw photos taken by Fujifilm X-T1 to Lightroom 4.4? RAF raw files cannot be recognised by Lightroom 4.4

    Fujifilm X-T1 is on the list of cameras with RAW file format supported by Lightroom, but I fail to import the RAF raw format photos taken by Fujifilm X-T1 to Lightroom 4.4 with the error message "Lightroom can't process the RAW files".  Is there a way to fix it?

    Fujifilm X-T1 is on the list of cameras with RAW file format supported by Lightroom,
    It is but Raw support varies depending on the version of Lightroom. Newer versions have more Camera Raw support than older versions.
    The column on the right hand side says "Minimum Lightroom version required" for the Fuji X-T1 is 5.4.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Raw support is never added to older versions of LR retrospectively so Lightroom 4.4 will never be able to read X-T1 Raw files.
    Your choices:
    Pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all X-T1 Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4

  • Lightroom won't read SONY RAW files

    I've upgraded to 1.2, installed it once and then again to see if I could repair the problem. I am shooting a SONY A700 and Lightroom won't recognize my RAW files on the card or when I copy them to my hard drive. LR does see jpegs on the card when I shoot them, and yes I have checked the box that says to treat RAW and jpegs as separate files.
    If I put only jpegs on the card it reads them, if I only put RAW files on it says no images on card.
    Any suggestions?

    To be honest I have not tried looking at my older MRW files as I have not used my 7D in awhile. I will look tonight to see if I can read them in LR, but I'm not qualified to speak on whether the information LR is reading is correct or detailed enough. I'll just see if I can edit them to my satisfaction. I don't get into the mechanics other than to do what I need to improve my photos.
    My original problem was getting the Adobe downloader to bring in ARW files, but now I just pull them off the disk and have disabled the downloader, which works fine for ARW.
    Just read the previous question and see it was answered on MRW files. I have been editing ARW raw in lightroom and it seems to work with all functionality. I think the program is indispensible to my A700 and they work wonderfully together.

  • Lightroom changes colour in my RAW files captured with NIKON D300

    Dear All! Lightroom changes colour in my RAW files captured with NIKON D300. Some of the images are completely ruined. I am sure Adobe must be aware of this problem. What could be done? Is there a solution? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Stanislav

    You want "something different" but this "something different" is quite hard to define.
    I want a result which reflects the result on the camera. Have the feeling the display
    of the D800 is not the greatest, at least (not only the color issue which is often discussed)
    but also the exposure. Often I think I would need to compensate it, but then afterwards
    on the computer the non corrected version looks most of the time better.
    I think its interesting to see how allergic people react when the word jpeg comes up.
    This is also just a rendered result, just by the camera. There are many options in my cam.
    I like the vivid setting with some modifications. And that gives me a result I like.
    And if I like the result, why shall I spend way more time to replicate it?
    I do not talk about that I would want the jpeg, I only say that what I get color wise out of the
    box is how I would like to look at it. I still want the capability to fix for example exposure  in image,
    but I want the base the version I got from the jpeg view (or how the Nikon raw software could do).
    On Lightroom I did not manage to have a profile that looked as appealing to me.
    It also consumes way more time in my workflow to fix all pictures manually and results might differ.
    To work on an image you need a starting point, I do not say the jpeg look is always perfect and
    what I want all the time, but most of the time it is.
    You say yourself you use profiles. So why should there not be a profile which automatically adjusts to the camera settings.
    Its so frustrating to see a look which you like (the preview image when the pic is first accessed) and
    then Lightroom switches to its own rendering which is flat and which I do not like.
    For me its clearly something Adobe and/or Nikon should fix, like the mentioned "auto correct to preview look",
    Nikon profiles/settings/raw-details in Lightroom or for example a Nikon import module.

  • Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windows desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD): Anything to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during switch?

    Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windows desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD (due to multi-location living & lots of travel). Anything I need to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during switch? Thanks a lot for suggestions, recommendations, tips, experiences. Best, Joachim

    The switch should be straight forward but I would start by uninstalling LR 5. This is because there is no specific CC version of Lightroom and you can’t run the creative cloud version and the perpetual version on the same machine. Your catalog and images will be safe and will not be affected by uninstalling. CS4 will not be affected and will still work independently.
    Then launch CC desktop and go to the Apps tab. I would recommend installing in this order:
    Photoshop CC 2014
    Photoshop CC (if you need this to run old plug-ins)
    Lightroom 5
    If you install in that order LR will automatically recognize Photoshop for external editing from the LR Library.

  • Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

    Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
    Error message that it does not support cr. file

    Which version of Lightroom?
    As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
    Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar... 

  • Add option for lossless uncompressed RAW files for A7r

    I'd like to see the option for lossless, uncompressed RAW files for those of us who want it vs. the current situation of only having the option of lossy compressed RAW files (which in some instances, can exhibit posterization). I think this is a logical option for a camera of the A7r's calibre. If this option can be incorporated via firmware update, all the better. If it's a hardware issue, hopefully this is addressed in the next iteration of the camera.

    Honestly, this is pretty deceitful marketting on both the Sony A7 and A7R literature. both promote the use of 14 bit RAW encoding as a feature of the two sony cameras, however, they are really 11 bit + 7 bit compressed lossly RAW formats, delivering no where close to the same tonality of 14 bit true RAW. in no sony literature that i could find, is it mentioned that it's lossly. this is accurate?  Not even close.  14-bit RAW output for rich tonal gradation 14-bit RAW image data of extremely high quality is outputted by the a7. This data fully preserves the rich detail generated by the image sensor during the 14-bit A/D conversion process. When developed with Sony's Image Data Converter RAW development software, these images deliver the superb photographic expression and rich gradation that only 14-bit data can offer.  I was going to purchase two A7R bodies and move my canon gear over to Sony ..until really all this came out.  I'm hoping as well as the OP that a firmware upgrade comes out.
