“EXPIRED” images won’t preview? PM6 OS Catalina
« on: November 08, 2020, 11:15:24 AM »
Hi Guys,

Been running PM5 for 6 years. Recently upgraded to OS Catalina and lost my PM5 unfortunately! So currently in a PM6 trial and after 24hrs my files are showing EXPIRED underneath and won’t open in preview? I can drag a box and it even shows on the raw thumbnail but just can’t see it in preview?!

Any help much appreciated

TIA

The EXPIRED message appears when your images have a creation date in the future.  Check the clock on your camera.  Licensed versions of Photo Mechanic don't do this.

How do we make it so that the program CAN read the images?!!!

Is your issue the same as the person who started the thread?  Are you on a trial version of Photo Mechanic 6?  What kind of images are you working with?
