Corrupting the RAW files Lightroom? Hardware problem?
I started having some problems with being corrupt when RAW files I open them in Lightroom. I did a lot to solve problems and to limit the symptoms, and this is what I can tell you. If anyone has any ideas about how to solve this problem, I would really appreciate it!
Material
Canon 7 d, 1 32 GB, 1 CF card of 4 GB CF card
Lenovo laptop, win 8. Lightroom 4
Dell PC, Win7, Lightroom 5
Here's what corruption looks like in my view of the library. Note that all the pictures are the same. I just quick-draws a bunch of shots in the hallway to test this out.
I first noticed the corruption on the PC, shooting photos of the 32 GB card. I bought a new hard drive (SSD hybrid), installed a clean version of Windows 7 and upgrade to Lightroom 5, then the 5.3 update. I have re-uploaded a few photos of the 32 GB card, and they are always corrupt. So here is my new events:
- I shot a series of photos as mentioned above on 32GB card, downloaded on the laptop with a USB cable. The photos look good.
- I shot a series of pictures on 4GB card, downloaded to the laptop with the same cable, they seem good.
- I have imported the same photos of the card 4 GB and the 32 GB on the PC card with my existing Lighrtoom catalog and they are corrupt.
- I created a new catalog of Lightroom on PC and downloaded the same pictures of the card 4 GB and the 32 GB on the PC card, and they are corrupt.
So, what gives? I think we can exclude from corruption or see questions on the hard drive, the operating system, the USB cable and both of the cards It baffles me that a new clean, new OS install HD catalogue, USB cable and upgrade Lightroom have not solved the problem. Is it possible that there is another part of the material on my PC which is corrupting the files?
I'd like an idea if people have ideas!
Thank you
Adam
AH HA! Found the problem.
I was wrong when I said that I had read / edition / exported one of the files above. It turns out it was another file in the series. After several tests with the original memory card, it is clear that corruption happened in the car plug. Try to view the images on the memory card via the card reader integrated on my Macbook Pro so that a 3rd party USB card reader both show the same corruption. The card (or maybe camera, although less I think) corrupted file in the capture / write times.
I think that the reason why that corruption was not visible in Lightroom, until I saw to the magnifying glass was that I had the opportunity to "Build overviews" in LR "Minimal" value, which means that he was using the built-in previews and only renders don't not a preview of the file RAW itself. Lightroom only attempted to construct a standard in the RAW file preview once I opened it in the Loupe, so that's when corruption was first visible in LR. It's what made me think that I could see the file becomes corrupted on the fly. I had put in Lightroom to build some of the RAW file when you import (using the "Standard" or "1 / 1" ") likely corruption would have immediately shown.
Appreciate the feedback and advice. Apologies for not doing my due diligence ahead and excluding the memory card. I had been cheated on my previous interactions with files that threw me a little trail during troubleshooting.
Keep, nothing to see here

Could not open the Raw files of Mk II Canon 1DX in Lightroom 6 [was: Raw files]
I gathered all my Canon 1DX MKII, I took some pictures on the new Cfast card, but 6 Lightroom couldn't import them because he couldn't read the raw files, I checked to see if there were updates and there is not. Is it because the camera is so new? Any help appreciated.
You need to update to the latest version of LR, version 6.5, if the stand-alone version, or the 2015.5 for CC. What version 6 do you have?

Hi all
In Photoshop Lightroom CC (latest updates installed - v2015.5) my Tamron 15-30 mm f/2.8 lens is not recognized, only an opportunity for the focal length and aperture are visible.
The profile of lenses must be selected manually - but even after selecting the lens information are not available for the photos in the library module, so I can't search/filter for this purpose.
In the RAW files from my Nikon D750 written in the metadata correctly: target = 15-30 mm f/2.8 and LensIDNumber = 233.
Funny enough for the 24-70mm f/2.8 Tamron everything works-> his profile is automatically recognized in the develop module and I can / filter to search for it in the library module.
Any advise?
Thank you and best regards,
Meik

I'm not an apple person. I read on a few different forums that apple has changed what is called 'writing' in a recent update to apple. You may need to find an Apple expert to show you how to make sure you are allowed to write to files or locations on your computer.

Hi Manolo,
If you right click on the Jpeg Image in Lightroom and don't edit it in Photoshop, which gives you this opportunity.
If you reference the above option in the screenshot, you receive only when edit you a Raw image from Lightroom to Photoshop format.

6 Lightroom does not recognize the raw files of Nikon D800
I have a nikon D800 and Lightroom does not recognize the raw files yet of this camera. I've updated the LR software to 6.1.1 yet still cannot import files.
Can you help me
Thank you
Ruben
The D800 has been supported since Lightroom 4.1.
You use an earlier version of the Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer? Older versions are known to make Raw files unreadable by Adobe software.
Try to download a version update of Nikon. Or use a different card for example reader method.

How to update Lightroom so that it reads the raw files from my new Nikon D750
I'm completely lost. I understand that Lightroom 4 may not recognize the raw files of my new D750. So I downloaded the dng converter and now I'm not sure what to do next?
Batch convert a whole folder of naves. Then import the DNG into LR4.
Launch the DNG Converter and choose your source folder.
Choose a destination for the DNG folder
Click on the import button and click on 'Add', then navigate to the folder that contains the DNG files.
In the prefs section, it's a good idea to choose "Fast Load Data" and then, when you use the develop module information are found the file without the

Hi there, I need to be able to read the raw files on an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I downloaded Raw plugin v 6.7.1 file but still cannot read the files?
Read this http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html table
The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported Camera 8.3 crude which is compatible with the CS6 and CC.
It is not compatible with CS5 or more and never will be.
If you do not upgrade to CS6 or CC, then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNG, and then edit the DNG in CS5.

Lightroom raw processing says:
Once a raw file corrupts in LR it affects the RAW file - confirmed by an attempt to open this file even with PS Corruption within LR often occurs when you click on the image for processing. It is, apparently, as if it was properly uploaded in LR but by clicking on the file, as it refreshes within the area of work to develop it corrupts.
This is not the correct interpretation. Lightroom reads only the information that is present on your hard drive, it never writes to the part of the image of your files. Thus, the information on the hard disk is damaged and Lightroom evolves, Lightroom displays only the (corrupt) information passed by the hard drive... And so, if the information is wrong, then Lightroom and PS and any other program that can read the RAW format will show this corruption.
Yet once, you need to find what piece of hardware could be the culprit and replace or remove this piece of hardware.

Hard drive stuck in the RAW file system.
So I had a problem with my slave drive being stuck in the RAW file system when I formatted my master drive. So I disconnected the slave drive and formatted the master once again and once all updates have been installed, I plugged the slave back in. He's still stuck in RAW format. I tried to use Norton Partition Magic, and he reads a BAD. Is it possible to change the same RAW to NTFS or FAT32 file system?
The indication that the file system is RAW usually means that there is a corruption of the file system structures. How to go on recovery depends on the value you are asking about the data on the disk. If your budget of time or money is over and the data of low value or backed up.
Go to start all programs accessories and click on the command line. When the window opens, type
cmd
CHKDSK D: /f /rNote: D: is the letter of the drive to check. Replace the appropriate letter. When the process is finished, type
OutputGo to my computer to see if it was repaired enough to at least get a list of directories.
If no joy, go to the web site of the manufacturer of the disk. Looking for a utility to check the disk and make a low-level format ". Follow their instructions. After that, do a format to NTFS.
If this fails, it is likely that the disc will need to be replaced.
Remember, there are tools (the disk sector editors, etc.) that you can use to read and sometimes at least recover some data. It requires appropriate knowledge and considerable patience. Alternatively, there are services - quite expensive data recovery.
