10.4.9 - Finder no longer previews Leica RAW files

I know that there have been a billion requests for someone, anyone, to get Aperture to read Leica RAW files (I have given up on this one), but there is a more fundamental issue that has been created with 10.4.9
We can no no longer even see the image in the Finder preview. This is all we get...

How on earth is anyone supposed to find their images without being able to see them?
If there is anyone here with a bright idea, I'd be grateful to receive it.
Failing that, how can I revert to 10.4.8?
Thanks in advance.

  • Lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

    I'm using CS 6 and lastest camera raw update doesn't work. Bridge no longer recognises my raw files.

    Let's see if I can simplify it for you...are you using CS6 (yes, it seems), are you having ACR problems (yess it seems). So, do you want to fix your issues? Then read this (pay close attention to the details)...
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
    It pretty much says you need to download a different version of ACR and install it (if it's not too diffucult for you to understand) to get ACR & Bridge to work properly...or not. Your choice...

  • Bridge CS6 Previews of raw-files have bad (pixelated) quality after editing.

    I'm having problems with using Bridge for browsing my pictures. Preview quality of edited raw (nef) files is terrible. It looks like a very low quality jpeg. The untouched NEF's are fine, and saving the edited NEF as PSD also gives a perfect preview.
    Purging Cache doesn't work.
    I'm using:
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
    Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64
    Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1  x64
    2x Monitor 1920 x 1200
    Photo's made with Nikon D800E (7360 x 4912 px)
    See screenshots of settings. Any Suggestions?

    What I find frustrating is:
    1. Raw previews look like crap compared to the file itself.
    2. Its possible to generate decent previews by a complicated purging-process.
    I can imagine you are frustrated.
    There are two differences on my set up so I can't check, first I use a Mac and you are on Windows and I use Canon and you Nikon.
    However it should not result in this much visible flaws in the preview.
    There can be a lot of cache files but Camera Raw Cache is something completely different then Bridge Cache.
    Camera Raw is a .dat file and contains some info from the raw settings and probably other stuff that I can't find, it states being a video file but you can't play them.
    Bridge cache are jpeg files that you can view, even without Bridge, for example they can be opened in PS itself without problems.
    If you have set to build all at 100% then it will generate jpeg files in the original size at a high quality jpeg setting.
    As said, I have a Mac but Yammer or Curt can provide you with the correct path to find the Bridge Cache folder yourself.
    On my System this is in the user Library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CS6 and inhere is a folder called cache. This folder contains 4 folders.
    - 256   : contains the thumbnails, very small files (in the range of 10 to 50 kb)
    - 1024 : contains the HQ previews, relatively large files (500 KB to 3 MB, depending on the files itself)
    - data  : a text file containing all sorts of info, don't know what exactly but is a text file that also can grow to several 100 MB
    - Full   : in here are the 100 % previews settled and they can grow to huge proportions ( around 10 MB for 18 MP files, depending on file size and content etc)
    If you have set to keep 100 % previews in Bridge prefs this last folder (full) will be taking a lot of space on your disk
    If you also have set to export cache to folder it creates same size (hidden) files with this cache in the folder itself.
    I never understood the need for export cache to folders for several reasons, first and most important, I had a longstanding bug preventing me from doing so (error message about overwriting a CacheT file) but also each version of Bridge has a different Cache format and you can't read older cache files. Also reading the cache file (especially when on DVD etc) takes a very long time. For purpose of needing to view archived files on external devices you better select the 'Prefer Embedded' option, works faster ten reading earlier exported cache.
    Not sure how you did purge the Bridge Cache but in your case I would Quit Bridge and find the equivalent Cache folder on Windows (Yammer, Curt?).
    manual delete this Cache folder with all its content and restart Bridge.
    This provides you with a new, fresh but very empty cache file. You need to recache the lot for the previews.
    If you are not sure just try it for experiment, move the old folder outside the library and try it. If it does not make any difference just Quit and replace the old file

  • Thumbnail Preview for RAW Files Not Appearing in Bridge

    Hello,
    I'm running Adobe Bridge 5.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 (recently upgraded to Maverick) and I can no longer see thumbnail previews for my RAW files (which include .NEF, .CR2 and .RAF) though as of a few days ago this wasn't a problem. Not sure if it's related to the Maverick upgrade... but FYI, I do see thumbnail previews for .TIFF and .JPEG files.
    I've already purged my cache generally and have also as a test chosen a local file to purge - that didn't work.
    I've restarted Bridge at least 2x by pressing and holding the Option key.
    I've also checked for Bridge updates - everything is up to date.
    My Cache Options (within Preferences) are set to "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" and "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" - both checked.
    Also downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter 8.3, installed it but that didn't work.
    I can't seem to find my Bridge cache folder or at least what's in the Library's "Caches" folder doesn't include anything for Bridge - see screenshot below.
    Please help! Thank you in advance.

    To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
    The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
    I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
    Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
    For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
    Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences  and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
    The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
    The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

  • Delete file but not remove from disk kills Yosemite preview all RAW files dimension now 0 X 0?

    Sorry to trouble you but this has never happened before so I need help.
    I loaded 300 photos into LR 5.7
    I deleted 200 of them.
    But I asked LR not to remove them from the HD in case I might need them again in the future.
    When I go into Finder, all the files are there showing 15M 18M whatever files size, but no preview.  All the files show "dimension 0 X 0"
    Preview won't open them saying "format not supported"
    But I can open them in LR5 and CS6
    I can even edit them, from LR5, including using plug ins.
    I tried reboot.  No good.
    tiffs, jpegs all works find. 
    All RAW files are now not viewable in Preview / Finder,  regardless of whether they are Nikon, Cannon, Panasonic, Leica
    my system:
    5KiMac  4GHz i7, 32 GB DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 3TB fusion drive and 4TB SATA Thunderbolt running under Yosemite 10.10.2
    Please help.

    Do you have a new camera?
    I note that my D750 raw images need update 6.01 in Yosemite OS. Check this site- OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
    If your camera is listed then maybe you have corruption of the Yosemite install.

  • ACR 4.6.x and Leica RAW files (*.RWL)

    I use Photoshop CS3 and have no plans to upgrade at this time.
    My ACR version is 4.6.0.30.
    I shoot Nikons, but recently acquired a Leica D-LUX4. Its RAW files are .RWL. Those files are not recognized by ACR, and thumbnails do not even show in Windows (XP, SP2).
    Is there any solution to this problem ?
    Thanks in advance.

    What version of the DNG converter are you using?  You want to be using the most recent.  Don't try to match the DNG converter with your version of Camera Raw.  Always use the latest version.

  • Adobe: Raw Reader Corrupts Leica Raw Files

    I used to be able to process Raw files from the Leica D-Lux 3 camera in Adobe Raw Reader. At some point, a newer version of Raw Reader would instantly corrupt (visual pixel garbage) the Raw files. The same thing occurs in LR.2 The corruption is real, and permanent. It looks like gamut warning, but is not. This is the ONLY software that can process Raw files from Leica D-Lux 3. (yes this IS a discontinued model, but they were popular, and I have hundred's of files that I can no longer open -as I'm sure other users have discovered.) I have tested this on other systems with the same result. Would Adobe consider building a fix for this please? (I have the most current reader for CS4)

    Have you also tried DNG Converter?

  • Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish

    Just recently, perhaps after a Digital Camera Raw update, the previews of raw images Aperture 3.2.3 imports are dark with a distinctly green cast.
    This happens when I let Aperture import direct from the camera, a Lumix FZ 150 with either of my two Lexar SDXC cards. During import, the thumbnail previews look normal. But during processing they turn green one by one. (The first time I saw this, I turned green. I thought there was something wrong with my camera or new 600x card.)
    Double clicking the thumbnail produces a greenish full-sized image, which then changes to a normal image (I assume as Aperture displays the raw image).
    If I drag the same raw files from the Finder, Aperture generates the previews normally.
    This problem is easy to solve: select the greenish images, hold down option and choose Photos > Generate Previews. This forces Aperture to rebuild the preview.
    (I found a few older discussions with similar-sounding problems, but none exactly the same.)

    "I assume this also impacts iphoto."
    I just tested this again. I saw the problem in Aperture, but could not duplicate it in iPhoto downloading the same images from my Lumix FZ 150.
    Again, as dbmoore emphaized above, a solution seems to be to force Aperture to rebuild previews:
    hold down option and choose Photos > Generate Previews.
    At least that has worked for me every time.
    I'm guessing this is someting in Aperture's interaction with the latest Digital Camera Raw.
    I'll go way out on a limb and suggest that before the end of June, Apple will have to update Aperture, quite possibly to v 4. At the very least, they'll remove the Mobile Me button and other references to Mobile Me. I bet this problem will just go away by then.
    BTW, I've also had a problem with Aperture not deleting photos from my camera card after importing when I ask it to. iPhoto did this as expected.

  • Cannot download updates, and I can no longer work with RAW files without them.  Help!

    I used to be able to get Bridge to read RAW files, but I cannot any longer.  I think I need an updated plug-in, but when I try to go to help-updates and download them, the message I get for all three (Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 update, Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5, and Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update) is this: "There was an error downloading this update.  Please quit and try again later."  I have tried shutting down and restarting the computer a few times over the course of several days, and have even tried updating my mac software.  I always get the same message.  Please help!  Thank you!!

    Ok, Adobe.  I'm having a huge problem with your customer service here.  You list no email or phone to contact you, yet I have spent hundreds of dollars on a product I can't use unless I can get an answer to this question, which appears to be a problem with your system.  I've used the forum, which is the only option you list for contacting you, and have heard no response.  Can anyone please help me?

  • Preview for RAW files from D90

    Bridge will not show me a preview of my Raw files taken from my new D90. I have the new Camera Raw Plug-in so that I can open them up, just no preview from the Bridge Viewing dock. Can I fix this so that I know what I am opening up? Help please!

    Purging the cache through the Tools menu in Bridge is necessary whenever you have files for which the cache was built before you updated ACR. It's standard procedure. Read the FAQs at the Adobe Camera Raw forum.
    It's also fixes other problems.
    You still haven't told us where you installed the new ACR plug-in and what you did with the old one. Please post a screen shot or describe the path to the install folder in minute detail.

  • No Preview on RAW files

    I'm running a MAC, OS X 10.8 with Photoshop Elements version 10 and Adobe Bridge CS4
    I've just go myself a new Olympus OM-D5 camera. Very nice! One small problem though. The RAW files (*.ORF) don't show up as thumbs in the preview. The RAW convertor to extract them into Elements seems to be working fine. But I'd like to have the preview in Bridge working as well. My Cannon and Sony RAW files work fine in preview.
    Any thoughts?

  • 100% previews of raw files - instantly!

    In Irfanview...
    Irfanview can present cr* or dng raw files at 100% full-size instantly - literally - even on slow systems. It's probably using some sort of jpeg stand-in, but in any case, it's instant. Adobe might look into how Mr. Skiljan does it, and follow suit, at least for the library module.
    If you shoot raw and dump your cards to the hard drive and weed out before bringing the raw into LR, it would be difficult to imagine a more efficient program for weeding out than Irfanview. I can go through 1,000 raw in about an hour, no building previews, no waiting for anything.

    It's using just the embedded JPEGs.
    I really don't see much difference to LR.  Start importing 1000 raw images set to render embedded or standard previews.  When the first few have popped up a few seconds later, look at the first one in loupe mode large on your screen (without side panels).  According to your 1000-in-1-hour pace, you can deal with that one for 3.6 seconds before moving to the next one.  By the time you have seen the first three and a little over 10 seconds have passed, something like 20 more will be ready.  All 1000 image will be imported well before the end of the hour (probably more like 10-15 minutes, card-reader limited).  Can you really go through them faster than LR imports them?

  • How can I find where my Aperture 3 RAW files are kept?

    Hi,
    I need to clear my mac to free up some disk space.  The majority of space it used by apurture so ideally I would like to save all these RAW files to a hard drive.  I don't want to export them I just want to find the original files/versions.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    I also use TIme machine back up so would they be automatically stored on here?
    Thanks,
    Ruth

    Ruth-
    Note that any moving of Masters must be done from within Aperture. Do not try to simply move them or you will probably lose the connection. After you move your Masters to external drives as Terence described, your Masters will be "referenced" and the Aperture Library will be a civilized size. The Aperture Library should remain on the internal drive.
    Time Machine has a spotty history with Aperture backups. IMO original images should be backed up before import into Aperture or any other images management app, and the Aperture Library should be backed up from within Aperture using Vaults.
