Lightroom 3.0 exports show up as checkerboard image not photo

I have used LR successfully for 6 months. Then yesterday, when I export an image and go to access it, the image that appears is not a photo, but a blurry checkerboard image with hints of the color of the photo. Ironically, all of the previously exported photos are just fine. I have tried updating LR and triple checking my settings and the same thing.
Any thoughts?
Help! Just in time for Christmas, too. Ugh.

léonie was able to help me with her (german) anwer in this thread: RAW Dateien nicht unterstütztes Bildformat
The solution was to remove and re-install the RAW support from Apple.
The solution was to
remove "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle" from the /System/Library/Coreservices Folder
(In Terminal.app: "cd /System/Library/CoreServices/", "sudo rm -r *Raw*" (WARNING, THIS REMOVES THE FILES INSTANTLY!))
Reboot the system
Re-Download the Raw Compatibility update 5.06 form Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757 and install it
Restart Aperture, reprocess the affected files and order the photo book.

Photos in iPhoto from my photostream are showing up as black images (not pictures).

I have been experiencing issues with my iPhoto in the past few weeks and photostream. My photostream on my phone has all of my photos intact, however, on my macbook pro about 90% of the photos in my photostream show up as black images/boxes. Included below is a picture of what my "photos" from my photostream look like on my computer. I have also experienced issues with iPhoto running very slowly/almost being unresponsive. I have iPhoto v9.3 and OS 10.7.4. Any help is appreciated!

If I click on one of the black boxes it opens a larger view of the box as if it is a photo and gives you all of the editing options that are usually displayed. I've included a screenshot of how this appears in case the visual explanation is clearer than my verbal one. If you look at the bottom of it too you will notice that there are maybe three or four photos along the bottom reel that are intact but the rest are black boxes. I have also included another screen shot of my photo stream that shows these black boxes with a normal photo.

Export/import of Project: Master Image Not Found? No Referenced Files

I am using Snow Leopard and latest Aperture. I just exported a project from my Macbook and imported it on my iMac. All 200 images indicate that the Master Image Not Found and have the yellow triangle with the exclamation point.
I have read about problems using Referenced files. These are not Referenced.
What am I missing? Is this not the preferred way to move projects from machine to machine?
Thanks for any help...

Tony -
Just to close the loop. I discovered that some new RAM in the MBP was not good (it was OK, then didn't turn on - after a near heart attack, I tried taking out the new RAM and it was fixed!). It may be that the project export was corrupted by the bad RAM. I also disconnected the firewire drive, so that may also have contributed (even though the drive was not directly involved in any of the transfers).
So I'm marking this 'Solved'.
Thanks for your interest and help!

Lightroom 5.6 export to photoshop cc Command E not working

Choosing (Command E) from Lightroom 5.6 to further edit in Photoshop CC 2014 (latest update) is not working. I found a Adobe Photoshop Startup Script that would solve this problem and applied it.
Problem still exists. Photoshop gets no image and if I double click where the image should be I get a finder window where I can select the photo however it will not have the LR adjustments.

This script that Rikk Flohr posted worked for me. You must complete both solutions 1 & 2 which means you have to reload Photoshop CC 15
Edit In doesn't work in Lightroom 5.5 from Photoshop CC 2014

Movies Show up in Smart Albums not Photos?

I have an interesting issue I'm trying to help someone with whre a handful of videos show up in a smart album but not in the Photos or Events view.
Shot about 5 videos on an iPad2 Running iOS 7.
Connected via cable to MacBook Pro (10.8.5) and imported the videos to iphoto
Videos initially showed up (likely in the recently imported window) and they were able to play them
2 days later went looking for the videos and could not find them in the Photos or Events in iPhoto
Shot another 4-5 videos on the same iPad2 and imported them via cable
Here is where it gets interesting
iPhoto sees the other movies are already there and asks if we want to import duplicates (we say no)
New Videos show up under Events/Photos, first set still does not
However if I create a Smart Album and tell it to show all Movies the "missing" videos show up in the Smart Album! They are still not shown in Photos/Events
Anyone know what is going on here? Can always just get all the files out and create a new iPhoto database to import in to but trying to see if can fix it without being that drastic.

Some library corruption - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Adobe Lightroom 2.7 exporting issue (says it is exporting at 300dpi but exports at 72dpi)

Hi,
I have lightroom 2.7.
I am a photographer that depends on lightroom. I do a lot of printing from images I export direct form it.
I am trying to export images at 300dpi. I am selecting 300dpi in the export box under image sizing. I use mogrify plugin also if that means anything to anyone.
However when I open up these images in photoshop and go to image size it says they are all 72dpi. My printers have also complained that this has happend as well as my wedding supplier. They all say my images are 72dpi.
I have read all the forum responses like getting rid of the minimise embedded metadata check in the box etc and nothing is working.
I am working hundreds of images at a time and therefore can't afford the time to set up an action in photoshop to resize every single image and sit there an hit the play button.
Does anyone have a simple answer to this issue that has proven to have solved the problem or any other non time consuming work around. Or even a support number for adobe I can call.
It is causing me a huge amount of time loss and stress.
Would be awesome if someone had an answer floating out there.

Bella,
I don't think you've understood my post above. When you export from Lightroom you create JPEG file, a JPEG file does NOT have a DPI measure. You cannot export a file at a certain DPI.
The reason is DPI or Dots Per Inch is a measure of length, inches. A file does not have a length, or a width for that matter. The only meaningful measure for a JPEG file in this context is 'Image Size'. Image size is expressed as pixels wide X pixels high, in the case of your Canon 5616x3744.
Exporting from LR, if you opt to 'Burn Full-Sized JPEG' at 100% then you will get a file of image size 5616x3744. Printed at 300dpi you'll get a print 18.7 inches wide.
If you want a print bigger than that then you have to create more pixels. Software does this by 'making up' new pixels based on the pixels that are already there. Exporting from LR and adjusting the Image Sizing will do it. You can do it from Photoshop. For optimum quality it's best done with some knowledge of the final print size, and print device.
From the sound of things if you supply both parties will full sized JPEG's then you are giving them as much as you can without getting into the murky world of upsizing. The metatdata tag that gives a DPI measure in the file is meaningless, don't let it fool you or the printers.
Hover your mouse over the file (in PC, not suer about Mac) and Windows will show you the image size.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom 2.7 exporting the wrong images

Hi. I've been using Lightroom since the first beta, currently running LR2.7 on a MacBook Pro. I installed the new CS5 (Web Premium suite) a little more than a week ago, and I'm suddenly having problems exporting images to JPEG from Lightroom.
Images import and edit correctly, look great, nothing gives me an error message. But when I try to export a single image, the first instance (after I've launched the application) will export correctly. After that, there seems to be about a 70% chance that subsequent attempts will export the wrong image. The file is correctly named, but the image will be a duplicate of the last successful export.
If I try to export a batch of four or five, the first image will usually export correctly, sometimes the last image will export correctly, but anything in between will be a duplicate of either a previous export, or the first image.
I assumed it was a memory issue, shut down the Mac and restarted, then opened Lightroom as the only active application. Same thing happened. I can export correctly in other applications such as Photoshop and Flash, but Lightroom won't. Activity Monitor doesn't show anything out of line for memory usage.
When the problem started happening I was running 2.6; I upgraded to 2.7 to see if that would fix it--it doesn't.
Any ideas? I'd rather not delete and reinstall Lightroom and rebuild my libraries if I can avoid it, especially if that might not solve the problem.
Help!
Thanks--

Hmmmm. I've tried various naming conventions and I'm still looking for consistency in the way the error occurs--could have something to do with naming presets, but it's acting like something gets stuck in the cache. What puzzles me is that I export files daily, haven't changed cameras, cards, file locations, my workflow is the same, and I've never had this problem. The only thing that's changed (that I'm aware of) is the installation of CS5--the error seems to have started when I started using "Edit in Photoshop." (And again, that was never a problem before)
The files all have different names, the ones assigned by the cameras.
This morning I rebooted, didn't launch any of the CS5 apps. Launched Lightroom, chose 7 files at random and exported them with the "filename" preset. They exported correctly. I selected them again, and tried another export, this time giving them a custom name, and they exported correctly with a sequence number attached. Tried them with "Custom Name-Sequence," and they worked again. I exported a single file with the same preset, again it exported correctly.
Then I switched folders, selected 7 different images and exported them with a new "Custom Name-sequence," and this time Lightroom exported EIGHT files. The sixth was the previously-exported single-file, so the exporter had gotten the first 5 right, inserted the old file in the sixth position, and then correctly exported the last two.
Three more tests exported everything correctly, which is far fewer errors than yesterday. I'm kinda stumped.

Lightroom 4.1 exported JPEG files are not recognized by Apple Preview App

I just started using Lightroom 4.1 Trial version (coming from Aperture). I exported JPEG versions of some images using an ICC profile. On my iMac running Lion 10.7.5 the pictures do not show a thumbnail, the file on the desktop just shows "JPEG". I could not open the file with the Preview App, but I am able to open it with DPP (Canon software)? Also the file shows that it has 0 x 0 dimentions when I click Get Info even though it is about 25 Megs in size?
The message I get is
"The file “Edit-739820120223Canon EOS 7D.jpg” could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
Does anyone know why this is hapening?
Is it a know issue between Adobe and Apple?
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks for help in advance.

25MB is quite a large filesize for a JPG, and this might be either quite a lot of pixels saved at a very "high" quality (not very much compressed), or it may be an extremely large number of pixels saved with medium compression.
While the technical spec of the JPG format imposes an absolute limit on maximum width and height pixel dimensions, some software employs a lower limit above which it considers the file to be invalid. Different programs, different limits, sometimes.
I have encountered this (for example) with pano stitched images using the full resolution of a large number of component shots - where JPG output could not be made, or if made, could not even be viewed as a whole by my standard image viewer (though TIFF was still OK even at still larger sizes).
If Lightroom has been set to a large printed size AND to a high ppi resolution, it is easy to get into very high numbers and very large output files. One should IMO at least question the utility and benefit of using very high ratios of upsampling from a standard digital photo - which may happen in some cases as a result of using the same output settings regardless, when spreading the same data across both small and large scales. If the file that was imported into LR really does provide an unusually high number of pixels expressing lots of detail, then that will better deserve such a capacious output file. Otherwise, each part of the file may merely show a very highly detailed representation, of a very blurry nothing-much-in-particular.
If the JPG has exceeded the viewer's size limits, a reported width and height of 0 may represent an error message, in effect - not actual reality.

Lightroom 5.3 - Export not applying changes to all file formats

Using Lightroom 5.3 with Camera Raw 8.3 on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
Camera is a Canon EOS 70D, working with Raw files.
Just noticed that when applying a range of changes to an image - Tone / Presence / Noise / Crop / Sharpening (and others)
When exporting the image
- export to JPG, TIFF and PSD works ok, all changes applied correctly
- export to Raw and DNG do not include changes applied to image - original image is exported
Not a show stopper as I have usable formats, but would like all file formats available for flexibility.
Anyone else noticed this ?
Chris.

A RAW file is a RAW file.
DNG is also a RAW format
Lightroom will not alter RAW fomat files on export, as in develop edits.
(it will record those edits in metadata if asked so another application capable of interpreting Lightroom edits can read and apply those edits - like ACR.)
DNG exports can be altered to various flavours of DNG but that does not include develop edits.
A colourspace can also be added as appropriate.
The other formats are derivative files and develop edits are baked in on export.

Lightroom 4.1 export problem

Lightroom 4.1 will not export a deleloped image. I have the metadata to new file set to automatic and I get no error mesage. All my new exported files are the same as the original. I need a detailed discription of what boxes need to be checked or unchecked and where to find them. Something as simple as saving changes so that I might use them in another app should not be so difficult- version 2.7 worked fine so what's up with 4.1?

Still no luck... I just purchased a licence for my demo version- I was hoping not to have to do a 1.1Gb download and/or redo my my catalog- is this required?

Are you saying that LR4 is exporting over the top of your exiting images, or that it is not exporting anything?   To test whether you can export anything, try exporting to a subfolder under your originals, instead of new names in the original images folder, which I think is what you’re saying you’re attempting: On the Export panel, all the way at the top, make sure to set Export To: to Hard Drive. Set the Export Location – Export To: value to Same folder as original photo. Put a checkmark next to Export Location – Put in Subfolder Enter in “output” into the Export Location - Put in Subfolder: textbox. Uncheck the Add to this Catalog unless you really want to include the output of this experimental export in the catalog. Set Export Location - Existing Files to Ask what to do, so LR will indicate if it’s trying to overwrite the same files, again, which it should if the output subfolder is empty. Uncheck the File Naming – Rename To: so the files aren’t renamed. At the bottom change Post-Processing – After Export to Show in Explorer Click the Export button and see what happens. It should do the export then open up Windows Explorer on the output folder you specified.    Before doing any of this, it might be wise to make a screenshot of your current Export settings, the Export To and File Naming sections at least, which you can both post here and use to reset things back from what I’ve specified, above.

Lightroom is no longer showing the .dng files

Lightroom is no longer showing the .dng files, everything else(Exif data and histogram), but no viewable picture. It did ask me for my serial number today, which I typed in. After that I went to import new RAW files, and the files themselves imported, but will not show the picture. None of my .dng files will show the picture now.

It seems that the ACR cache is either corrupt or the whole plugin might have got some corruption.
You can go ahead and delete the Lightroom x Catalog Previews.lrdata by following the location from the link below accrding to the OS. (x denotes version)
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-4.html.
After relaunch if it still doesnt show the images try uninstall and reinstall of Lightroom by removing it from Programs & features if on Win 7 or from Add & Remove in Windows XP.
If you are on mac just take the Lightroom complete file and trash it & directly install the most recent update of Lightroom.

Lightroom vs jpeg export

Hi,
My images do not look the same as the way they appear in lightroom. Seems like they are loosing contrast/shadows.

Yes I am using sRGB color profile when exporting.
This is my screenshot of the image in Lightroom vs Jpeg Export on the right.

Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button. Also get error message on launch: An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files: System Library/Application Support/Adobe. Any ideas? I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro. This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for attempting to help. I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem. Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem. I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom. The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery. Only a few days left on my trial version! I hope I have time to try it out!
