Q: Why are some of my photos corrupt when I use iprojects?

I have done many iphoto books and found them really easy to use, but this is the first I have done with the new Yosemite.

 

I have taken hours to complete my book, and now its saying I cant print it because of 'corrupt photos'

 

The photos highlighted - which are many, have been printed out fine before on previous books I have done (about 2 years ago)

I have also printed them out to see if the quality is bad - they are not.

 

I have just repaired my photo library in the hope it will be fixed but nothing.

 

Is there any way of overriding and just getting it printed anyway?

 

I just dont understand why some photos (and some in a series) are that bad?

 

Does anyone have a solution??

 

thanks alot

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    Are you using Photos for your library application?  If so you should upgrade your system and with it Photos to El Capitan.  Both upgrades fix many existing problems in both the system and Photos, particularly Photos.

    HI, thanks for replying,  I have updated to El Captain, and restarted iphotos, but its still the same.

     

    I have looked at one of the photos in question in the library (cmd i) but it doesnt give my anything useful, it doesn't say anything is wrong with it/corrupt??

     

    thanks

    Try creating a new book and just the same photos.  Make a pdf of the book and see if you get the same warning.

    Hi, the pdf in preview doesn't include the corrupt photos just leaves a space, can I uncorrupt these photos? or is there a way Ican export all the ones in my book (so I dont have to go back through the library) to use on an online bookmaker?

    I cannot actually print/buy any of my past books either!

    Try to export the original version of the corrupt photos to a folder on the desktop.  Open them with a 3rd party image editor or Preview and save as a new file with a different file name.  Import those new files and see if they will work in the book.

    Are you getting corrupted files in those also or is it a different problem?
