Hey Everyone.....

[am_pitbull_terrier]

I'm back!! Not that anyone probably even noticed that I was gone :lol:
I know it's been a while, I started a new job and have been traveling around helping open new stores.
Anyway, I have a question. Lately all of my shots have been looking fine when you preview them on the camera. But when I download them they look like this. I have tried several different cards, formatting and still no luck.
Any ideas?

Download them to a different computer to see if the computer may be corrupting the files.

Hey - this exact thing happened to me, and it's how I found POTN. I was googling to try to find a fix. It was my first post looking for an answer on how to fix.

Formatting worked for me, but only if done in a PC. The format option on camera did not. I was shooting with a Rebel at the time too. Hasn't happened since, but when I download from card I always format on PC now anyway.

Card was a 1GB Sandisk.

But he tried different CF cards.

Thanks for the quick reples, I will try both things.
I do format my cards in my camera, but I always have.
I hope it's not a PC issue. It's brand new. I have done several weddings since I bought it and none of them (Thank GOD) had issues. It's just been lately.

Oh BTW.... I forgot how much I LOVE this forum. Always a quick answer.
Thanks again

We just want to find the source by process of elimination. It may be the cable (I had a corrupted USB cable once) or software. Let us know how it goes.

Transferring with a card reader? Could be the reader. If not maybe a bad cable.

You were on the right track. I set up my old comp and they downloaded fine. So I then went back to the comp giving me trouble. (PC vista setup, which i hate vista BTW) I did a system restore to an earlier date before my Canon drivers were installed. Put a CF card directly into my built in CF reader and perfect.... No Problems.
If I try to DL from the camera I still have the same problems though. I have to find another cable. I know I have some areound and see if that helps. If not at least I can get them off of my card by the built in reader now though.

Thanks for all the help.
I'll let you know what happens with the new cable.
