Just d/loaded some raw images from camera to Lightroom.
JPEGS on one card (SD) RAW to the CF card.

All JPEG thumbnails and main images OK in lightroom.

4 or 5 RAW images are OK..the rest are scrambled...until you go to the Develop screen in Lightroom and then the thumbnail and main image appear correctly.
leave that image and go to the next image..and the scrambled thumbnail re appears.

Some raw images OK

If I had to guess...I'd say that your video card is being taxed pretty hard.

A way to "fix" some issues in LR is to rename the "prefs" file and then restart LR...if it doesn't fix the problem, you just delete the new "prefs" file and rename the old one back again.

Not a graphics card issue, other folders come up correctly, just the one folder.

I'll try the prefs file and see, thanks

I've had this happen to me a couple of times and my interpretation has been that the file was somehow corrupted when imported.

Try deleting one of the affected images (out of LR) and re-import it. This has worked for me, but I'm not pretending that I know what the issue really is, except I know it's frustrating.

Good luck!!

I managed to find the answer (I think) this morning.


If you right click the file and show in Finder and view in preview or another application it is fine..so I started wondering about previews.

I am not at the machine now (at farm workshop) but somewhere in the menu system under either File Edit Photo or Library menus there are three Preview / Render 1:1 render image options.
Working from memory now, but first I tried jsutdeleting the render previews. thinking it would re build them..but no good. made no difference. I tried the rebuild or re-render option and that worked..sorted thumbnails and main images.

Your memory card may be the problem... Your files may be corrupted!And then you coppied them on to your system that way!
