Import Lightroom 4.1 - CR2 scrambles my images

Jul 29, 2012 3:13 PM

When I import images from my Compact Flash (lexar Prof UDMA, 300x speed, 8Gb) I get white scrambled images.

Wheter I import as DNG or just add, it never works anymore. Used to work flawless and I do not believe I changed anything. Thoughts anybody??

screen1.jpg these are the images on my card when viewed in LR 4.1 - Build 829322, Camera Raw 7.1 before importing

screen2.jpg same images after I either imported them as CR2 or as DNG, both thimes I get the same. When I just add them the thumbnals do show the right image for a short period of time though (see below)

any help would be very welcome....

    Your raw data is probably corrupted.  The initial view is the camera-embedded-jpg and the mostly-white image is the raw data being interpreted as an image which takes a few seconds to be computed.

     

    You should try to isolate whether your CF card is bad or if the transfer of the images if corrupting them, by trying a different CF card and seeing if the same thing happens, and/or by varying the way you transfer the images from your camera to your computer.

     

    If you want others to verify that the images are or ok or corrupted, post a public download link for one of them.  Use something like www.dropbox.com or www.yousendit.com if you don’t have another way to allow people to download them.
