• Corrupt photos on my Satellite M50

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M50-130 and have just started to have a problem with the photo files.
  They began to corrupt and the preview comes up with the words "drawing failed" or "no preview available".

  I can still see the thumbnail image but the info for the file, IE the size and what the camera has been used disappeared.

  I don't know why this is happening and it has not stopped. I open old files with photos in and found that one or two were corrupted.

  It could have been using ad-aware, I guess. I did a system restore to a different time, but this does not solve the problem.

  Any other ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello James

  Please don't be crazy on me, but I see no connection between the described issue and Toshiba as the manufacturer of the laptop.

  In my opinion corrupt photos has something to see how you use your laptop and stuff everything you have preinstalled on it. The fact is that current operating system you will be able to open all the jpeg and bmp files (if it is not damaged).

  What kind of photos you have (jpeg or something else)? Have you tried to open these files on another PC?

• Lost or corrupt photo files

  I tried to copy a folder of my images in Doucuments. The transfer failed, and now I'm not able to preview the photos. Records still show that they are there and the names are on the records. But I can't see them.

  I didn't know you were using XP.  It is a Forum of Vista.  It has been long since I used XP on a daily basis, so I don't know if the procedures would be the same (but they are probably similar - just maybe located elsewhere).  The procedures of lost files will not work with XP (programs are designed for Vista and I have not checked to see if the links work with XP).

  I suggest you link below to ask your question: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xppictures/threads where the people who specialize in XP issues associated with images will be more than happy to help you with your problem.

• blank or corrupted photos after importing

  Hello

  I have just started taking a Lightroom Craftsy.com class. (I use Lightroom 4.4).

  The instructor we traveled the best settings in the preferences. (i.e., ProRGB, 16-bit).

  I then created a new catalog and imported (RAW and jpeg) photos from my memory card. Once the photos have been imported, after a minute or two, I started to notice that some of them are turning white or striped with color. My instructor said that it must be a bad card or reader. I replaced both but the problem persists. When I right click on my photos damaged in my catalog and choose Edit in Photoshop CS6, damage are also there in Photoshop.

  However, when I look at the original photos on the hard drive, they are very well.

  My instructor suggested to uninstall and reinstall Lightroom. I did and it does not work.

  I also went back in and changed my presets to default color label. No chance here no more.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Here are 2 screenshots:

  

  Thanks in advance!

  Although I hope that you have indeed solved the problem, I would like to point out that I agree with what others have said.

  This isn't a software problem, the cause of these issues and therefore update your software or the firmware of your camera is not just going to help.

  It is a hardware problem. Somewhere between the capture of the image to the screen by Lightroom or Photoshop, a piece of hardware is defective because of these problems. It could be something from the card from camera to hard drive or memory, and you will have to troubleshoot every piece of hardware, one by one, until you can isolate the problem.

• When I m taking the photo in developer mode it becomes corrupted photo, an idea?

  

  Hi fredrikb12157897,

  Could you please let me know the version of Lightroom.

  If you are working on the latest version of lightroom, try the steps:

  • Go to Lightroom > Preferences.
  • Please go to the preferences > Performance tab and uncheck the box "use graphics processor.
  • Restart Lightroom and see if it works.

  One when you're done, remove the image from Lightroom and reimport and try again.

  Kind regards

• After the upgrade to Photoshop CC 2015.5 photos corrupted when runing sharpness batch

  Hello!

  My H/W is Dell XPS 13 / 9350, i7/6560U, 16 GB of RAM, Intel Iris 540, win 10 Pro (x 64) Ver.1607.

  I was running on Photoshop CC 2015 until recently updated to 2015.5 CC.

  I have had no problem of what Photoshop if running before the update.

  After the update I get corrupted photos photos 2 and 3 out of 10 when I run the Batch of sharpness.

  
  (the rectangular size is the same, but color, opacity or numbers vary from photo to photo...)

  This corrupt trend occurs more frequently especially if I run another photo, navigation program.

  The funny thing is, if I have smart sharpen with legacy checked above trend does not occur.

  But then I can't use function 'Noise' because it disappears if "Legacy" is ticked

  It also completely disappears if I uncheck the GPU or OpenGL in preferences, but there

  about 5 times as long to do the job.

  FYI, I have the latest video driver from Dell.

  If someone out there have a smart solution, it would make my day!

  THX!

  Download the latest driver for your web site for map display manufacturing display device not Dell.

• FAT32 library corrupted

  Hi, pretty catastrophic issue here with my iPhoto and photo library.

  Having had both my iPhoto and photo library stored on an external hard drive (since I'm on a 120 GB MacBook Air) to save space. Everything worked fine until recently.

  Currently, all my pictures and videos bar as it is impossible to find the most recent import (s) - photo shows only the thumbnail of them.

  The Master of the record, all these images and videos are of zero byte. The photo library also said 55GO (the total size of the photo library), but when trying to copy to a new position, only 9,77 GB is copied and also takes three to four times the rate of the normal copy. NB: 9,77 GB is the total of images and videos of the import (s) most recent are still correct.

  The only mistake that I can't seem to remember is that I moved my iPhotos and photo of a FAT32 formatted partition on my hard drive external library. Imports I've done since located it on a drive to FAT32 format are the only ones not corrupt, all the previous pictures and videos are the affected.

  Ive tried all repair and reconstruction of the library, but in vain...

  When you view the images corrupt and videos in the library of Photos, they do not load. However video thumbnails always indicate the length of the videos, and when I right click on-> get info-> the file indicates this is the original size that is 66 MB. However, in the record master, right click-> get info on any corrupted photo or video - size indicates zero byte.

  Since I have my library iPhotos and photos on an external hard drive, I have no backup Time Machine from them. I know it's a very stupid mistake to copy the library to FAT32, but I was not aware of the risks.

  Any help, clarification of my question, etc. would be so so appreciated.

  Thank you all.

  Unfortunately, you have used a disk in the wrong format and will not work

  If your library will not work and you have no backup (that's another really bad decision) then you have what you have - the bet you can make is to create a new library, Hold down the option key key by running Photos and create a new library) to a correct formatted drive (the pictures library must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) is directly related to a fast wired connection like USB, FireWire, or stroke, must always be available before photos being launched and cannot be used as a time Machine backup voume - and of course it needs to be backed up someway - Time Machine is a good way

  Once yu have a library on a correct volume brake the low library to this volume, right-click and view the contents of packaging - copy the masters foder to the disk and their important pictures in the masters record for the new library

• Photo Gallery can't open photo

  Hi, I have a problem just downloading a photo on my digital camera. When I plug my camera into my computer, the thumbnail for that one particular photo does not load, and when I try to view the picture I get the "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video. This file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates for Windows Gallery"error. I tried the option 'Open with', and it will always open in Paint, Word, Picture Manager, etc..

  I tried on several PC and facing the same problem.

  However, the photos can be viewed on the display of the camera without problem. Also, all my other photos load very well.

  Can anyone help with this?

  It is possible that the picture uploaded in question is
  corrupted... sometimes this can happen when the camera
  the batteries are low... after a long photo taking session
  for example.

  The following steps should help you re - download a new
  copy of your photo.

  If you connect the device to your PC via a USB cable, turn
  on the camera... then go to... Start / computer... it should be
  listed as a drive letter...

  If_yes_right click on the drive letter and select... Explorer or
  Open... This should display the directory of the memory card.

  You can copy and paste or drag and drop the files from there to a
  folder on your hard drive.

  In addition, if you have an internal or external media player... you
  could remove the memory card from the camera and insert it
  appropriate in the slot on the media player.

  When the card is inserted... If you go to... Start / computer...
  the card reader should listed as one or more removable disks.

  Removable (e :)) drive
  Removable disk (e :))
  Removable drive (g)

  If_Yes_you can download photos from there. Left click
  the drive letter that corresponds to the memory card must
  display the directory of the card and you can copy and paste or
  Drag and drop the photo/s of your choice in a folder on your hard drive
  drive.

  Just a picture selected (highlighted) right click and choose... Copy...
  then navigate to the folder you want it saved in and right click the
  folder and choose Paste.

  If the steps above do not give a visible photo is apparently
  altered in the camera. There are the software
  to recover corrupted photos but they can be expensive.

  A Google search for ' recover corrupted JPEG "may be useful to
  a try. The following links are just a few examples:

  The following programs are not free, but the demo
  versions will be preview files that can be recovered.

• Photos of Windows 7

  In Windows XP I could manually move or rearrange a picture in the same folder "Photo" by drag-and - drop. I could also move a photo or photos from one folder to another by right-clicking and choosing Move To instruction. I don't understand how to do these tasks with Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

  Gene

  OK, I see how it is possible. You must have a list of my pictures folders in a pane and pictures of an individual folder in another part. Then, you can drag a photo selected to a folder in the list. Not the most effective as in XP, but it works.

  Thanks for sharing.

• Voluntary placement of photos

  As usual, all is confused as all hockeysticks. I am 66 years old and do not have that many years left. All I want to do is take pictures and transfer them to my computer laptop in folders that I can recognize and open when I want. All you younguns on the photo, I'm interested in this is easy. But me, huh.

  I know how to connect my camera and import them into the computer. The photos go anywhere Windows want let them. Then I end up with all sorts of photos involved in albums (?) or something. I want to put pictures of a dog in a folder named dogs. I want to put pictures of cats in folders named cats. Get it? That is my question.

  I'm sure that anyone responding to this will need more information, but I know nothing that I can add at this time. I have Windows 7 and a Toshiba Satellite L755 computer. I'm working with Windows Media Center.  I will never understand why the geeks of the world don't just make things easy and make clear that it is susposed to be and don't use any fancy words and... oh, never mind.
