I have been diligently working away saving out my best jpegs such that I can collate my Best and update my web site.
However...
No matter how often I do this, and invariably from within LR5, at some point virtually all (in this gallery it’s around 50%) of my thousands of jpegs have become corrupted such that they appear as dimentions 256 x 171 (this shot is from a D800) and has all the originator's Meta Data stripped away too.
The only data is in Bridge's first box: the file name, what format, size, dates, Bit depth and colour mode
This was a new 2TB hard drive.
This is not the first time this corruption has taken place, all this year, the MacBookPro is just over 2yrs old.
I have been reviewing these images as I have been rendering them out from LR from day to day and a smattering (5%) from Bridge CS6, today they are almost all corrupted. Again.
I can see preview of each image in Bridge, not in Apple’s Preview, and of course nothing opens up in any software, not PhotoShop, nor Bridge.
Initially, I thought it may have been the file name, but it is not even throughout the jpegs.
However, it does seem date specific, in that all images taken on Day 1 are okay, but not on Day 2, and even then it is not that straightforward. None of last summer’s images are opening at all.
I can see them perfectly well in their respective LR5 Catalogues & I have one Catalogue per SD Card and also as original RAW files, but there seems to be no common element thus far, not the different cameras (x3) nor lens nor anything else I can ascertain nor which one of the several offboard HD's the Catalogue resides.
It is the same story trying to open any images on my PC. No joy.
I am beyond frustrated. No wonder I have ceased taking photographs.
PS - I tried to add a desk top snap shot (.png 626kb) but the system won't allow it. However I did upload the 8.8mb file plus the desktop screen shots HERE

Thank you in anticipation.
