I'm having an issue importing JPGS which have been externally retouched. The images are showing up in the import dialogue when simply 'adding' the images (rather than copying or moving).
There are 240 images, and during the first import 8 images imported into my catalogue (instead of 240) and the progress bar at the top quickly reached the end (full bar) showing almost completed and then freezes up each time I try to import. I created a new catalogue and tried importing the same images into there. I had 30 import, and then a few more by repeating the import process, and I now have 60 of the images imported.
I have imported a different batch of JPEGS and they imported as usual without any problems so it seems as if the issue lies with the files. The files will open in Bridge and Photoshop (after testing a few of them) it seems with no problem, and I've done a batch re-save of the images using Bridge (saved with the same settings, so no change to format, or resolution or file-name.). Now I've re-saved the images into a new folder I've noticed that only 30 of those images will import (out of 240) and that the import status bar at the top left has hung up at the same position with the bar having reached full (showing completed) but with the words 'import files at their current location' still showing meaning that the import will also not complete the task of rendering previews as it usually should, and still does at the moment with other images.
My next ideas might be to convert the files into a different format (Tiff's or PSD's). To perhaps contact the sender of the files to find out what software/settings they used to save the images which are from my camera and which I've originally sent over to them, and maybe to look for any clues in the EXIF data.
One little clue I've had about the files is that one of them (out of 240 files) was sent as a Tiff with a note saying there was an error saving the file as a JPEG so it was saved as a TIFF.
I'll be working solidly to try get the files working within Lightroom so I can batch crop and resize the images, and do some minor tweaks rather than having to record actions in photoshop, write scripts or edit each of the images individually.
