iPhoto '08 imports photos correctly, but creates empty files (0kb) once I edit. The original is retained correctly, and I can always "revert to original" to get the files back, but about a quarter of my edited photos show up as empty files when I try to view them. How can I fix it? Why does it happen to some, but not others?
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Have these been shot with a Nikon? I've seen occasional reports on here of this happening with Nikons.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Yes, it is a Nikon Coolpix S2500. And yes, the problem repeats even when I create a new library. Is there anything I can do?
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7) and see if the problem is repeated there.

I too am having the exact same problem - also using a Nikon Coolpix (S6400) - this is extremely frustrating as it effectively means i cannot edit my photos using iPhoto - has anyone come up with a fix for this?? Any help greatly appreciated. - Pete.
Have you tried the fixes that have already been suggested in this topic?

Edits in iPhoto create empty files
