- Apple Photos app corrupts images when importing from camera, especially with 'delete after import' option.
- User experienced significant photo loss (30%) during a wedding event due to corruption in both JPG and RAW files.
- Extensive hardware changes (new cables, SD card, laptop, camera) did not resolve the issue, pointing to a software problem.
- Corruption appears random; verified by comparing checksums and file sizes of corrupted and non-corrupted files.
- New workflow involves using Darktable for importing, culling, and processing photos before exporting to Apple Photos to avoid corruption.
