I have seen this before at work. I deal with hundreds of images a day and I come across all sorts of stuff. Sometimes we will get a CD and be able to see the tiff previews and they don't open right.
Open them in photoshop. i don't have photoshop - i have psp x2
Were they saved RAW?they were shot raw, lg format- and then downloaded to the computer, then opened in picassa, then freaked out about what i saw, did the i feel lucky command, then was tickled i could save the photo , not so much with the results- then i tried to do a quick fix in psp opening another of the black images (there were about 50 of them)which was not successful ... did not take the time to try manually to fix, pouted, then went to bed, fell to sleep and had nightmares that no one would ever trust me to photograph them again.
can you send me one raw or untouched file... like the original all black one... the image data seems to still be there.the image here (the black one) is the original - do you me email it?
Also, you did say that the after shot preview was ok on the lcd?
