lostinspace Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Further to the other forum postings on file corruption, I am going to add this. I have been having problems since last summer (northern hemisphere) when I upgraded my whole system. I used to run a Mac Powerbook G4 with iPhoto and a point and shoot Sony DSC T1. Then I went mad, I bought a MacBook Pro with huge Ram, Aperture, and a silly little EOS 5d with all the lenses....yes I went mad....I blame it all on Philip Greenspun and his reviews. Anyway, since then I have been blasting my way through every day, happily producing loads of deleterious material that should really be consigned to the trash, but hey I've spent a lot of money and now I"m looking at it. Anyway, imagine, the best laptop, the best camera I could afford, the best lenses money can buy, and Aperture....the "best photo editing/storage facility you can get this side of heaven" etc,etc. Well, nearly every download of files to Aperture has this BLIGHT in it. Don't worry, the original file data is all safe somewhere on another disc, but in my beloved Mac, with my beloved Aperture I get this in about 5% of my files.......and I spent all that money. It ain't right, Apple have got a lot of stuff they need to sort out, and my photos should be top of their list.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancoxleigh Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think you should start claiming that it's intentional and post it as art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinspace Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 It does look quite funky as a single image, I admit. But when you are going through a days shooting and you find that the best shot of the day looks like this then you start to get a bit p***ed off!

ellis_vener_photography Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think you've got either a hard disk drive with problems or a corrupt memory card -- neither of which is Apple's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_mussett1 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Have you tried opening that image using Canons Digital Photo Professional to see if you get the same result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosvanEekelen Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have experience the same problem with an EOS 10D and a Windows XP system. Caused by an incompatible of defect harddisk. These things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
