Problem Importing .jpg

When I import jpegs about half will end up with "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo." and will appear very fuzzy unless viewed as a thumbnail. I tried importing from the hard drive rather than a memory card, but got the same result.
The jpegs appear normal in other programs (Preview and iPhoto). I imported into iPhoto, exported, and then the photo imported into Lightroom OK. While this workaround works, I have hundreds of these photos and the fix process is tedious.
Here is a link to a "bad" file: https://www.yousendit.com/download/MFo2L0dBMm1KV1B2Wmc9PQ
I'm using the latest Lightroom (3.4.1) on Mac 10.6.7.
What is wrong with the file and can I fix before importing without going through the tedious iPhoto process.
Thanks for any help.

I downloaded and imported the file into LR on my Windows7 64bit system without any issues. It looks just fine and gave me no error mesages.
If it were file corruption why wouldn't I encounter the same problem with my Windows 7 LR? Could this be a Mac file format compatibility issue?
That's interesting have others here been able to load it on Windows?
Shouldn't be any compatibility issues between OS's that I know of for jpegs.

  • Problem importing jpg from device

    All of a sudden jpgs that have been copied to my disk do not show up when I use the LR import from device option. Previously imported jpgs show up in LR. The actual jpg files are on the disk and show up with MS Paint or by going through My Documents, but the LR import function just does not seem to "see" them.
    i.e. I copy phot a.jpg to my disk. It is there. I want to import it into LR. I select Import from device and get to the directory where the a.jpg is but it just does show the recently copies a.jpg. Name of file in dialog box is blank and files of type show "Supported Files."
    Any help of advice would be appreciated. This situation just started within the last couple of days. I am using Windows XP Professional as my operating system.

    >I select Import from device and get to the directory where the a.jpg is but it just does show the recently copies a.jpg.
    Still not understanding you, Gary. You say it "does show the recently copies (sic) a.jpg". Is the problem that you see a.jpg but you can't select it somehow? Or is the problem something else?

  • Problems Importing .jpg Files

    Hi,
    When I import .jpg files as a slideshow they have an overall blue cast.  Frequently I get a warning message the "...this type of file cannot be transcoded..."
    The files can be opened correctly in Photoshop CS5, iPhoto or Preview.
    System: MacPro (Intel)
    OSX 10.8.2
    Memory 12GB
    Encore CS3.0.1

    Hi,
    I have the same camera, and exactly the same problem. Could you solve this issue ?
    About images of Pentax cameras looking dark in Aperture, many people mention "if Highlight Correction is enabled, the image is shot at -1 EV exposure compensation, and then everything but the highlights is pushed up in the camera when it makes the JPEG version" -- and thus the solution seems to be to disable this highlight correction. But to me it seems that there is no highlight correction in the k100d super...
    Aperture 3 actually clips the histogram (dark pixels turn completely black) with respect to the same PEF file read with the Pentax Photo Lab app or the Gimp. The "Raw Fine Tuning" adjustements do not solve this.

  • Problems importing pix into my 2.5 quad 8 gigs ram, Canon Rebel xt

    I have the newest firmware available...I have imported before...only had problems with raw...now it seems that I am haveing problems importing anything. Aperture was better when it first came out but it seems that every update degrades my ability to import...I am now in the position of having to use my horrible PC to read my cameras card (that my mac isn't able to read...amizingly) and then trasfer the files to my mac via my network!
    Imagion my pain!!!!
    John II

    Forget trying to modify the plist file, it is done automatically with OS upgrades. What is the extension name you get from the camera, for raw is should be .cr2. If you double-click the filename in finder it sould be vieweable in Preview. If not then Aperture won't view it either because raw's and camera updates are donw at the OS level. Your on 10.4.6 so i know your camera is supported.
    If you can't view raw or jpg files in Preview, then the issue is further-upstream, perhaps at camera level, although if they appear on a pc then its perhaps something wrong in your OS.
    Can you see the images in Preview ?

  • Problem Importing photos from camera to iPhoto

    Help. For a while I had no problems importing photos from my camera now I get the following error message:- /private/var/folders/CC/CC5eraW2GGCddoAX3DUGjE+TM/-Tmp-/iPhoto/PICT1015.JPG
    Does anyone know what this means? What I have done to my computer to cause this? and how to fix it. Thank you.

    Sam
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Launch Image Capture (in your Apps Folder) and use it to move the pics to the desktop. Then try import from there.
    If that works, then use your camera to reformat your card, and see if that works in the future.

  • Problem Importing Music from

    Hello, I just setup my network attached storage and I'm having problems importing music from it. I get a runtime error with CTImport.exe "abnormal program termination", nice and informati've (see below). I'm running MediaSource 3.30.2, the most recent version. I can add songs little by little, but anytime I try and import a bunch, I get the error. It's not the length of the pathname either, because I added the longest one individually, and it was fine.
    I tried importing from a mapped dri've letter and from the network path directly, both have same problem. I also get the same error from the file sniffer built into MediaSource.
    I'm actually running an external USB hard dri've that is attached to Linksys's Storage Link NLSU2 (or something). Don't know if that is the problem. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    <IMG src="http://www.dustinandalison.com/Ebay Pics/MediaSourceError.JPG">

    Yes, I originally had all my songs on my local dri've. Anyway, it turned out to be a "corrupt" file. This file was fine in every other media player I had, but MediaSource couldn't do anything with it, not even play it (it was an unprotected .wma). I don't know if that song was originally imported while on the local dri've, but I deleted it and MediaSource imported everything fine.
    It was a pain hunting that one song down.
    Thanks.

  • Imported jpg probs - Urgent

    Before I begin, I'd like to apologize in advance if this
    issue has already been addressed in these forums.. I'd be suprised
    if it hasn't, but i've looked all over, and cannot find the answer
    i'm looking for.
    I'm using FlashMX 2004 Pro, on XP Pro SP2..
    I'm creating a website demo/walkthrough that I wish to use
    screenshots in. I've been creating the images in Photoshop, and
    exporting them as jpeg, then importing them to Flash. I want to be
    able to fade the screenshots (alpha) and have them enlarge/zoom in
    on specific parts of the screenshots. Unfortunately, when I
    preview/publish the swf, the screens are dithered and choppy. The
    only way they look good is if I keep them placed at 100% size.
    Since I want to be able to fade & resize the screenshots, this
    is a problem. I've tried png as well, with no better results.
    I've tried editing the properties of the imported jpg/png, to
    keep the image quality lossless or at 100%, but no dice.
    Can anyone out there possibly tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and put me forever in
    your debt.
    Thanks, -j

    scaling bitmaps in flash (been discussed countless times,
    surprised it was hard to find) is never
    good - flash does not handle the scaling or even rotating of
    bitmaps well. Always keep them at 100%.
    If you must scale, then you can try:
    play with the "smoothing" option in the properties for the
    imported bitmap (library).
    Add this to your first frame: _quality = "BEST";

  • IPhoto 9 (8.1.2 (424) and OSX 10.6.4) will not import jpg's

    I purchased and installed iLife '09 yesterday. After downloading the latest software updates to iPhoto 9 (8.1.2 build 424) and OSX (10.6.4) I cannot import jpg's into iPhoto. It says "The file is in an unrecognized format." Under GET INFO, the file kind is "JPEG Image". This same photo imported just fine in iPhoto '08. Obviously, iPhoto '09 is designed to import jpg's. How do I fix this?

    Thank you, that worked. I was able to import random jpg's, but NOT able to import any jpg from a scanned picture from my Lexmark X7675. They all failed, but other jpg's imported fine. So the problem is with the scanner. I downloaded the new drivers, but that didn't work. I'll now exit this forum and take up the issue with Lexmark. Thanks for your help.

  • IPhoto crashes when I import jpg files

    I use iPhoto 6.0.5, which is the latest. I have 1908 photos on an ext drive. I never had any problem importing photos, but now I cannot import jpg files. It would start by saying importing, but it just crashes. No warning. What to do? I already tried using Photoshop Elements to resave and import.

  • Ligtroom 4.3 does'nt import jpg

    Hi!
    I have recently upgraded to a new computer with windows 8 preinstalled. When i tried to import jpg with lightroom today i discovered this problem; The thumbnails shows as usual, but when I click the import button, it runs through the files and tells me that non where imported because the file could not be read. I have tried both with a card reader, and directly from the camera. No luck. I works fine when I try to copy in windows explorer. Have any one else come across this issue?

    This is most probably a problem of missing permission for the folder / drive you are importing to.
    I don't know Win 8 but I'm assuming that in that respect it would be similar to Win 7.
    In Win 7 you have to give yourself "full permission" for the folders / drives that Lr is using.
    In Win 7 this is done by opening <My Computer>, right-clicking the drive in question, selecting <Properties> and the <Security> tab.
    Select your user name (i.e. highlight it in the first window) and check if it says "full control" in the bottom window.
    If it doesn't click on <Advanced> and again highlight your user name and select "full control". Click <OK>.

  • Importing jpg into FCP

    Hi,
    I've never had problems with importing jpg's before into fcp, but I was given a large group of photos and I imported them into fcp, looked at them in the viewer and they were fine. However, when i dragged them into the timeline, they came up distorted in the canvas. What is going on here? The other jpgs from other sources still work fine in my canvas.
    Matt

    Here are the answers to you questions:
    what are the pixel aspect ratios of the jpegs?
    988x1500
    are they square pixels?
    i don't know whether they are square or not.
    Have you rendered the timeline?
    Yes I rendered the timeline
    best wishes

  • Why don't imported jpgs appear in the library?

    I've imported jpg photos from my desktop.  They appear in the PROJECTS list.  I can label the faces. However, they do not show up as a project, nor in the photos nor in the faces, nor in the last imports.  What's up? How do I fix the problem?

    I can see how that can be confusing. Here's the full list of supported cameras for tethering.  http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
    Long story short, Adobe use the camera manufacturer's SDK, so support is usually waiting on Canon.  They've recently updated their SDK but there are some crashes which they have yet to fix, before Adobe can do too much, so we don't have an idea on date yet, sorry.

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

    I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8.  I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store.  I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos.  As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs.  The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

  • Problem importing from JVC MG 155 (videcam with hard disk drive)

    I had a problem importing video from my videocam Jvc MG 155.
    I tried when there was only few record in the videocam and everything gone right.
    Otried when there were 520 movies and over 4 hour of video (I went to holiday and made also underwater movies) and the program crach before importing the movies.
    I can import the moviesw only via firewire but in this way i import in DV mode (so I have near 60 gigabytes occupied by that movies insted of the original size in the hdd of the camera of 18 giga).
    Someone have a solution?
    If I import by firewire I reach the same quality (the camera record directly in mpeg 2 and via firewire I import in dv way)?
    Any idea?
    Jvc don't support mac because they don't give you software compatible (the cd inside is win only).

    You are right.
    But the first time I imported with imovie 08 (the time when there was only few movies on the camera and everything gone right and the program don't crash) i notice that the program imported the movies in compress format (mpeg2) and the size was the same of the videocamera (more or less ..but I'm sure it's not in DV format).
    Maybe the prgram crash because of the hight number of the miniature it must generate to let me choose witch I want import.
    Certantly Apple mus resolve this bug because the model of this videocamera is one of the fews they assure like compatible directly with imovie 08.
