Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

  • Bridge CS3 Does Not Display Pentax PEF files

    Hi,
    I am running Vista and have Bridge CS3 installed on my Notebook. I updated Bridge to v 2.1.1.9 and have added Camera RAW 4.5. My problem is that Bridge does not display Pentax RAW files from a K20 camera (its on the supported list). DNG and JPG files show correctly. Bridge only shows a PEF Icon for each image. When you double click on the Icon, the file opens in Camera RAW 4.5 correctly and also in Photoshop CS3.
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to see the PEF images in Bridge?
    Thanks
    Keith

    Revisit the download page, look at the instructions, and make sure you unzipped ACR to the correct folder, and you don't have an ACR in two places.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 does not display WMF graphics files - what to do?

    The question says it all.  I am running Win7Pro 64bit with Adobe Bridge CS6.  This may be a windows/microsoft/wmf file format problem...but what to do?  WMF files display with a icon only.  Please advise.

    Apparently Bridge cannot preview .WMF files. I have old ClickArt CDs and occasionally want an image. So I have converted all the .WMF files to .AI using a script in Illustrator. Once converted, Bridge will display a thumbnail.
    Here is the script written by Carlos Canto. (Thank you Carlos, whoever you are!)
    Copy the script text. Paste in a plain text editor. Save as ConvertWMFtoAi.jsx in the folder Program Files: Adobe: Adobe Illustrator CS6: Presets: en_US: Scripts
    Then you find it in Illustrator under File: Scripts
    // script.name = makeAiFilesPDFcompatible.jsx;
    // script.description = opens and resaves Ai files with PDF compatibility checked (Folder Batch);
    // script.requirements = none
    // script.parent = CarlosCanto // 06/4/2013;
    // script.elegant = false;

  • IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

    iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver.  Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem,  it simply replaces the text file and crashes again.  My video driver

    PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver.  Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem,  it simply replaces the text file and crashes again.  My video driver is just fine.  Any help out there?

    rb
    Your video card driver may be fine for something, but just not compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
    For those with the display card error, the answers include
    a. assure your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card -
    if necessary consider a driver roll back.
    b. determine in Device Manager/Display Adapters if the computer is using 2 cards instead of 1
    c. delete the BadDrivers.txt file
    the rationale for that deletion is found in post 10 of the following older post...principle applies to 13 as well as 9.
    Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
    Have you looked for computer ATI card settings that might be more compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
    When is the program crashing - just opening a new project or rather crashing if editing a particular video format at the Timeline level?

  • Finder not showing previews of Canon 5D Mark II raw files?

    I've updated to Mac OS 10.5.7 but the Finder is still not showing the previews of Canon 5D Mark II raw files.
    This is on a Mac Mini with 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    (Interestingly, I have another Mac Mini with 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4, running Mac OS 10.4.11, and the Finder does show previews of the Canon 5D Mark II raw files...)
    Thanks!

    Adobe support is generally unreliable.  You should install the latest version of ACR, 5.6.  It's easy to make a mistake with the manual installation instructions.  See this FAQ for troubleshooting:

  • Bridge CS3 won't display thumbnails and locks up

    Running a Mac G5 Dual 2gHz processors with OS 10.4.11 and 4GB ram...
    I started today working with images on an internal drive and all was well until I selected an older external drive. Bridge vers. 2.0.0.975 would not display thumbnails on the older drives and stopped functioning altogether when selecting a different folder or any menu item.
    Reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge and folders/thumbs from internal drive still displayed just fine, but still would not display on external drives. Ever since I tried holding down the option key when restarting Bridge, the the problem has spread to the internal drive and now those images will not display.
    And yes, I did try upgrading to Bridge 2.1.1.9, but that update never worked at all for me.
    I gotta vent here. Bridge CS3 has been a consistent headache from the first day of purchase. Since Bridge CS3 has never worked properly, how can I justify the purchase of Photoshop CS4 upgrade?

    Hey Jim
    Good it worked, seem to remember that there have been problems with some users and the auto update feature from Adobe?
    Whenever I used Bridge CS3 for a week or 6 to 8 (I also work with it a lot and and also large amount of files) trouble was coming up and I just delete the plist and cache file and restarted with option to refresh prefs. I don't use the cache for archive purpose and usual work with one main folder. After finished I move the files to specific folders without caching those so after deleting cache I only need to recache a few folders and was able to work flawlessly for a certain period.
    I must say that Bridge CS4 is more stable and is working also very nice and again better compared to the prior version.
    For system maintenance I use Disk Warrior every now and then but Cocktail on a daily basis, scheduled automatically after an also time scheduled auto start up of system and some apps. Cocktail is cheap and easy, :-)

  • Finder does not display icon for word / excel in list view

    Hi,
    I got a new macbook air, with Yosemite pre installed. I copied over all my files (from my old macbook using a USB drive) and next I installed MS office for mac.
    For some reason Finder does not display the correct excel of word icon in list view (I set preview thumbnail to NO in view options), but it it displays the generic file icon.
    It appears to be very random, as some files do display the icon and others do not. It also appears to have nothing to do with the doc/docx xls/xlsx variations.
    Also some of my parallels icons do not display correctly in list view.
    When I open a INFO panel, it does show the correct icon. Example below:
    Any body know how to reset / fix this ?

    Still got no solution...
    There has to be some one that knows about this ..?
    Any professionals reading this that can point in some direction for a solution?

  • Favicon.ico image does not display consistently for our application,

    Hi,
    We have configured a favicon.ico for our application as below code snippet and referring to the favicon.ico image correctly. The icon file is available in our war file post deployment. The problem is some times it displays correctly and sometimes it does not display correctly.
    <af:outputText value="&lt;link rel='SHORTCUT ICON' href='#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/images/favicon.ico'/>" id="favicon" escape="false"/>
    Can anyone point to any issue related to browser caching or application server caching and any possible fix to this intermittent behavior.
    regards,
    Chandra.

    Browser caching might be a problem, but we can't help as it is a browser issue. All I can say is to clear the browser cache and see if the problem can be reproduced. If yes it doesn't look like a browser problem. Then you have to check if you are connection via proxy which might cache images too. Ask your network admin for help then.
    Do you see this problem only with one browser? Have you check other browsers?

  • Will Lightroom 4 get updated with support for Canon 7D Mark II Raw Files?

    I received an update for Photoshop to support Canon 7D Mark II raw files (ACR 8.7), will Lightroom 4.4 get an update to support these files?

    I don't know why you feel it makes things more complex. All you need to do is use the DNG converter as your download software. The conversion takes place during the download, and then you can import directly into Lightroom. I'm not trying to sell you on using DNG. But it isn't as cumbersome as it seems.
    Since Lightroom doesn't utilize the Camera Raw plug-in, it makes it more difficult to provide updates. In Lightroom update means distributing a whole new Lightroom program.

  • Bridge preview does not match thumbnails

    We've just updated the OS, and had to re-install Bridge and Photoshop (CS4). Unfortunately, the preview doesn't match the thumbnail in Bridge, nor does it match the file when I open it in Photoshop. As far as I am aware, they are both set to the same color space. I have also toggled the "Apply auto tone adjustments" box on and off in preferences, and it seems to make no difference.
    This seems to be a new problem that has only occured since upgrading the OS.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    This seems to be a new problem that has only occured since upgrading the OS.
    Have you already tried to use the purge cache option? Go to the menu tools /
    cache/ purge cache for folder and see if it solves your problem.

  • Finder not displaying thumbnail for Nikon D810 NEF files

    Hi all,
    I went out and bought the D810 upon it's release the other day and shot a wedding with it yesterday, however I've come to transfer the files over to my iMac this morning but finder isn't loading up a thumbnail of the shots.
    I assume this is an issue with the new NEF file type for the D810 (I had a similar issue with Photoshop CS5.1, so now have to bite the bullet and upgrade to PS CC!), but is there an update to allow Finder to show the files?
    I read somewhere that an update when the D800 was released was pushed through the latest version of iPhoto. I appear to have the latest version of iPhoto though, so wouldn't appear to be the same for the D810! (That said, I can view the photos in iPhoto but I prefer using Finder!)
    Do you think Apple is likely to release an update for this issue any time soon?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The D810 was first supported in Lightroom 5.6 so, if you want to import D810 Raw files into Lightroom, you'll have to pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5, if your computer can run it.
    Support for new cameras is never retrospectively added to older versions of Lightroom.
    Your other (free) option is to download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D810 Raw files to DNG format then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
