Previews are broken?

[florianbaaske]

Hi,

I'm having problems with the latest update lightroom. Since the update, my previews look like this:

I already deleted the preview file, but lightroom recreates the previews with the same result. If I export the picture to jpeg, the picture has no errors. Anyone the same issue?

I will give it a try, as soon as I'm back home.

Disabling the HW Acceleration solved the issue. Hopefully, it is usable with the next update of lightroom

AFAIK, Adobe is constantly improving the GPU acceleration.

[florianbaaske]

at least for me, the last update was no improvement

before that, the previews were working correctly.

OK, let me rephrase ... AFAIK, Adobe is constantly trying to improve the GPU acceleration.

This is a corrupted image file. The file became corrupted because of some hardware malfunction somewhere on your computer or camera. You have to try importing the photo again using different hardware, and if possible, on an entirely different computer, to see if you can isolate the problem. The possible list of causes are: camera malfunction, camera card going bad, bad card reader, bad USB cable, bad USB port, failing hard disk, bad memory chips.

I was afraid, that this is the case, but using a different pc and the same picture (same file, as it is on a network drive) the picture looks normal. So I'm pretty sure, that the image itself is not corrupted or damaged.
