LR kind of eats files?

Not sure how to explain this (happend last night with LR6 but has happend in earlier versions) if I am moving from one picture to the next LR will sometimes colour an image with bright coloured lines. These lines normally cover part or half of the image sometimes the whole image. The image will stay 'coloured' if I move to devlop or to libary, if I close down LR and open again, regardless of time, the image will stay 'coloured'. If I view the image in another program the part of the image which was 'coloured' in LR will now just be blak with no image there.

Any sugesstion would be welcome.
 
sounds odd, LR shouldn't touch your underlying files. Are you sure something else isn't corrupting them and then LR can't read either
 
Only does it in LR, if I view undamaged files with windows viewer everything is fine. Graphics would seem to makes sense as it happens when moving from one image to another within LR which maybe peak demand on graphics. going to keep digging on this.
 
Are you using the Graphics accelerator in LR? Trying turning it off and see if there's a difference.
 
run LR in software mode not Hardware mode for the gfx and see if that makes a difference. should be an option in LR settings to change it to software rendering.
 
Is it just me that keeps seeing this thread among the new posts (where there are lots of macro threads) and thinks LR is eating flies?
 
Will try turning the graphics on and off to see, this is not limited to LR6. I did a wipe and fresh install of Windows and fresh install of LR6. I will try to upload a screen shot tonight once back from work.

If its not limited to LR would you not be better working out what has caused it?

Issue with graphics card. Are you using onboard gfx or separate card? Is card, use onboard and see if you can replicate the issue.
 
Meant to say that it was not limited to LR6 that I have had the same in LR5 also.

A picture of the problem. The one, in the bottom row, that is yellow was the first, then the next six turned in sequence.

I do hope it's not the graphics card, as that is going to mean a new laptop. Current one is a Dell XPS17 L702x with this graphics card

I would suspect a graphics card. LR does not make changes to the RAW data or original JPG files. If it was a LR problem you shouldn't see the same in other applications.
 
how do these images look if you put the card back in the camera and view them on there? could be a dodgy card reader corrupting them on import?
 
Image is fine on the card, and seems to import fine also. Only happens when the images are on the computer and I have the big picture up and the smaller ones along the bottom, checking for focus. As I move across to the next image in the row, then it seems to put lines on the image as it comes into the big picture.
 
what happens when you export the image to jpeg form lightroom?
 
Are you shooting raw or jpg? If raw then it's possible what your seeing in the camera and when you first import is just the jpg preview built into the raw file but the actual raw file itself is corrupted. How are you importing? Card reader or USB lead into camera? How old/ what brand are your memory cards?
 
Exporting is fine, or at least the problem has not happened there yet. I shoot raw. Import files from a card reader into the laptop using LR. But in this latest case, all the photos were transferred from the back up drive then LR was installed onto the laptop. The photos were showing fine along the bottom until the first one hit the centre of the row where the bigger picture screen (loupe?) displays, then that turned yellow and the ones immediately after it started to go down in sequence.
