Dasha Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 HI, I seem to be having some problems with my images corrupting today, getting quite worried my imac is dying! This happened to 3 photos today, one i edited months ago (was fine then) went to crop for print today and bam! Plus 2 more from todays session. Ones from todays session were stored on my external harddrive and edited form there and the old one was on my internal. any advice please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasha Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have a Mac desktop running High Sierra and Photoshop Cc. It is over 2 years old, and has 24GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 604GB free out of 999GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I run a cleanup program about once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all sounds good. 1 hour ago, Dasha said: one i edited months ago (was fine then) went to crop for print today and bam! After this happened, did you immediately close the file, then open it again to see if the same thing happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fraught with risk. Externals are only for backup and long-term storage. Were you cropping when these ones had their problems too? Or were you doing something else?

Will stick to internal No those were in camera raw when it happened. As soon as opened. But tbf the older shot could’ve gone wrong in acr as well today, I just didn’t noticed because I opened a batch and took them straight to ps. Which is when I noticed the problem.

Dasha Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Also, one of them from today was fine first time i took it to acr. Went wrong when I went back to it. So I’m guessing it’s not my card that’s messed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 That's good news. So any time you see a problem, have you closed it, then opened the raw file again ... is it still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasha Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yes I had to reload them from card. Then it was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasha Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not sure. I don’t do anything else when transferring. Plus the old one was on computer for awhile and was grand until I opened it again yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
