Background layer thumbnail not appearing

When I open an image in photoshop (from camera raw), the image appears in the center screen, but in the "Layers" panel, the thumbnail in the background layer does not show the image. Instead, it shows an icon that appears to be the "brush tool" inside a square. I cannot change it to the opened image, very frustrating and, probably, very simple, but I cannot find the solution. Please help. Thank you, HONDO1717

Thanks for the screenshots, now I'm think I see what's going on.
So if I understand correctly, you open an raw image from Adobe Camera Raw and you expect to see a thumbnail in the Layers panel. Normally that's how it works for me.
The brush icon that you see in the Layers panel means that layer thumbnails are turned off. Here's how to turn them on in your Mac:
In the Layers Panel Control-click the blank space under the first layer and choose Small, Medium, or Large thumbnails from the context menu that appears.
You should then have a thumbnail of your opened file.

Thumbnails Not Appearing in Finder

I posted this in the Leopard forumn, but I haven't gotten any response. I hope someone here can help.
I am having a strange problem with image thumbnails not appearing in Finder. I am editing some very large TIF files on a Macbook that is running Lion. These images are edited on an external drive, and when I hook the drive up to my main iMac, which is running Leopard, the new images I have created in Lion do not have thumbnails. The only way that they will appear is if I open the images in Photoshop and just resave them on the machine running Leopard. This method poses a problem because each image takes about 5-8 minutes to open, and another 5-8 to save. I have hundreds of images and don't have the time to do that to each one.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

I've tried repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the finder plist file, and neither of those things work.

Thumbnails not appearing in My Photo Stream folder

When I open the "My Photo Stream" folder the pictures do not appear, just black squares with the titles or Image numbers. If I click on the back square the photo appears. Please tell me how I can get the thumbnail pictures back in "My Photo Stream." Thank you. I am using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try to rebuild the thumbnails for your iPhoto Library.
Launch iPhoto with options-command keys held down. Keep holding down the keys firmly, until you are seeing the First Aid Panel. Select "Rebuild Thumbnails".

Why do AVCHD (.mts) video thumbnails not appear in Organizer 8?

Thumbnails for video clips imported into Organizer 8 (via Premiere Elements 8) are not appearing for AVCHD (.mts) files. Numerous online forums show this is a common issue, however other than renaming file extensions from .mts to .m2ts, I have not found any other more practical solutions. Adobe customer service was of no help. Other proposed solutions such as installing new codecs have not solved the issue. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem on both systems that I run Premiere Elements 8 Organizer. All software and drivers are up to date.The only way that I can get thumbnails to display for AVCHD files in the Organizer, is to change the file extension from .mts to .m2ts. In my opinion, that is clearly a bug with the Organizer that must be fixed by Adobe ASAP. Organizing video without thumbnails is next to useless.
If you start a new project and open Premier Elements you can create the thumbnails for AVCHD files with the .mts extension by right clicking each one and selecting Update Thumbnail (which is laborious, at best). However, when you exit the project and go back to Organizer the thumbnails are still not there, nor can you create them. Next, go back into Elements and the thumbnails are there.
Can you say bug!
Update 07/15/10: I contacted technical support and they said that this is a known problem. The only solution, if you could call it that, is to use file renaming utility to change all your file extensions from .mts to .m2ts. I hope they fix this problem and release an update soon, as all I shoot these days is AVCHD with the Panasonic HDC-TM700K.

NEF thumbnails not appearing during Import

Just started using Aperture2 on my iMac with a Nikon D90. (using NEF or RAW files). When importing images, the thumbnail images appear as blank gray boxes. If I go ahead and import, the files come through into the library just fine. It's frustrating not being able to view the thumbnails as I should, and select/deselect as desired. Any ideas? I've scoured the manuals and online help areas.
thanks,
dave

Right after I posted, I realized you may have meant the camera. After searching every menu palette, and the manual, there is no "tools" menu on the D90, or as far as I could see, a way to change the storage mode. I may end up just having to record in NEF+jpeg if I want to use the previews, and accept less shots per memory card.
thanks,

Jpeg thumbnails not appearing.

I photographed a wedding with two cameras. I have edited them all so put them all in the same folder but the photos from one camera's thumbnails are not showing. They are just the jpeg icon. Can anyone help?

Maybe:
http://www.beccamarcus.com/2011/10/picture-thumbnails-not-showing-up-in-finder/
Did you edit the photos on one computer with one app?
If you Get Info for both showing and non-showing ones does anything stand out as being different?

Video on background layer is not showing up behind motion graphic.

Hello Premiere experts,
I'm using Premiere 6 on Windows machine and in the last few days I created a motion graphic that has an alpha channel for background transparency and it is placed on video track 2 and it works when I put a static image underneath it... that is, it shows the background image behind my motion graphic properly in the preview and the rendered video.
But now I've put in an AVI video file behind my motion graphic, and I've tried putting this AVI file on video track 1A and 1B and rendering my movie, but I'm only getting my moving motion graphic on a black background in the preview and the rendered movie... no video from my video track 1A nor 1B is showing up in the background of my motion graphic... but when I put a static image, like a JPEG or a PSD behind my motion graphic, that does show up in the preview and in the final rendered movie.
Shouldn't video be able to be seen behind a motion graphic?
Thanks for any help,
numetro

Hello again Bill,
My motion graphic creation has been successfull, like I said, when I place a static JPEG or PSD behind it... in that case, it shows my moving graphic and the still background image behind it, with successful transparency.
The motion graphic creation is chronicled in the thread that you posted some replies to at this link...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/842405?tstart=0
The workflow is...
1) Import File: Bring in the graphic intended for motion - a PSD with a straight Alpha Channel for the graphic clip to be outlined for transparency... appears in the Project palette.
2) Move that PSD graphic from the Project palette to the Video 2 slot in the Timeline... click to active that graphic in the Timeline... shows "crawling ants" around perimeter.
3) Drag that graphic from the Video 2 slot in the Timeline palette to the Effects Control Palette... Motion Setup and Transparency Setup choices now appear in Effects Control palette for that graphic clip intended for motion.
4) Create motion path in Motion Settings dialog box, select "Alpha: Use Clip's" and save settings... click OK and close dialog box.
5) Select "Keytype: Alpha Channel" in Transparency Settings Dialog box... click OK and close dialog box.
6) Import File: Bring in the AVI video intended for the background of the motion graphic - an AVI file that plays properly in Windows Media Player and IrfanView that was converted from a created WMV file to AVI format... AVI video file appears in the Project palette.
7) Drag that AVI video clip to the Video 1A (or Video 1B) slot in the Timeline.
8) Save the Project.
9) Click enter for previewing and/or "Export Clip>Movie" to render movie.
10) I just get an AVI file exported from Premiere 6 that is my moving motion graphic on a black backgroundl... showing NO video background as intended.
As I said, when I'm using a still, static image as the background for my successful motion graphic, I get my motion graphic moving on the intended background... this is only a problem showing and rendering the motion graphic on top of the AVI video background.
PS: I found that I need to double log-in each time I come to this forum now... logging in first from the "Sign In" link at the top right corner of the forums page, then it says I'm logged in, but will not give me the reply and actions options... then I finally figured out after multiple tries that I now need to additionally click the "Login/Register" link near the top of the page on the left... this has changed in the last few day. I'm still not able to recieve email alerts of forum replies in spite of all three email alert pages being set to "YES" and "RECEIVE".
Careful examination of my information above should make my workflow and prior actions clear.
Thanks again,

Thumbnails not appearing in iPhoto

iPhoto crashed after I uploaded new photos, and when I reloaded all of my albums and events have no thumbnails. The pictures still appear to be there (if I double click on them they show up ) but no thumbails. How do I restore?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Photoshop layer names not appearing in DVDSP

DVDSP 4.0.3, Photoshop 7.0, MacBook 2GHz, OS 10.4.10
Once I've brought my .psd file in to SP and added it to a layered menu, the layers appear, but their names do not, and I can't turn them off and on either. For example, in the inspector, under the 'General' tab of a layered menu I am unable to select which layer I want to show. The odd thing is that the correct number of layers appear- I made 9 layers in Photoshop, and 9 layers appear in the inspector, but under their name is just a '-' and I can't select the check-box under 'show.' Likewise when I create a button- can't select any individual layers. I've experienced this problem with three different psd files. Anybody seen this before?

I have just found the same issue.
For me, I believe it is because the domains are only used in matching rules, which the SSIS task does not support. Therefore they are not in the drop down as the SSIS DQS task cannot use them. Only map domains for data correction and you should be ok.

Thumbnails not appearing in iPhoto 6.

Recently when opening iPhoto'06 I got the drop-down to rebuild my thumbnails which I accepted. It was proceeding quite slowly for a while and then a sudden rush to completion (over 500 photos in there). Next thing, I have less than half of the thumbnails there before the re-building. I have searched Support and printed and read Article HT1261 which essentially talks about the opposite of what I have.
I have a blank thumbnail but if I double click to edit, a littel slowly, I get the picture in full. Working on it doesn't produce a new thumbnail though, still nada. Help? Please.

John
You've found the file... are the photos with it? That's the key question...
1. iPhoto will not import files from the active iPhoto Library Folder - this is a sensible precaution against duplication.
2. You're trying to import not a photo but a sql database file - it doesn't import anyway.
3. But given that you have found the folder and it's active (1 above) but there are no photos showing in the iPhoto Window then we can assume that the database file is damaged.
So, now we need to create an populate a new library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the +Originals folder+ only drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Presentation Layer model not appearing in Subject Area (OBIEE 11g)

Hi All
I have created the OBIEE metadata for an OLAP cube using the following steps:
1. Created and Maintained a single OLAP cube using AWM (5 measures and 3 dimensions).
2. Created new OBIEE metadata repository using BI Administrator.
3. Exported CUBE metadata to OBIEE Administrator using OBIEE Plug-in for AWM.
4. Saved the new repository after checking for global consistency.
5. Uploaded the new repository to BI server using BI Enterprise Manager (http://localhost:7001/em).
6. Restarting all BI services from Enterprise Manager for repository changes to take effect.
7. Create a new user using Weblogic Console in Security Realm 'myRealm' and assigning it to group 'BIConsumers' using (http://localhost:7001/console).
8. Logging into BI Analytics as new user using (http://localhost:9704/analytics)
But for some reason, the cube is still not showing up under the 'Subject Area Contents'. Am I missing any step in between?
My platform is as folllows:
- Oracle Business Intelligence EE v. 11.1.1.3.0
- AWM 11.1.0.7.0B
- Windows 2008 Server (32-bit)
Any assistance will be appreciated.

If this is a new site and a newly created template, you DON'T need to 'apply' the template.
The best way to create new child pages is to :
FILE>New>Page from Template
There will be a list of any templates you've created, select the correct one and press create. Child page created :-)
Save as newpagename.html (not inside the Template folder though !)
PS; as others have pointed out, the link to the background image is incorrect it's pointing to your harddrive. Is the file within the defined site working folder?

Keynote background opacity does not change

Hi all,
I want to make a transparent background on on Keynote'09 5.1.1 (1034). The background colour opacity does not change for some unknown reason.
This is the way I do it: open keynote - select a white or black theme - open the inspector - go to slide inspector - go to appearance - set background as colour fill - double click on the slide icon on the bottom of the inspector to open the colour inspector - set opacity to 0% - close the colour inspector - open it again and the opacity is 100% again.
Please help!

butterflymika01
ilyasmussin is right. There is a way to change the opacity level of a background image in Keynote.
This discussion is not about changing the opacity of an image, it is about how to create
a transparent background, refer to the the original post quoted below.
I am trying to export a video with a transparent background. in Keynote.
I explained in my last post that the background layer can not be made transparent in Keynote as there is no alpha channel in Keynote. The background layer will always be filled with either an image or a colour matte.
What you describe, is changing the opacity of an object, which the original poster knows how to do.
This Keynote canvass should explain the difference between opacity and transparency, the same image is placed on an orange object with different properties applied:
1 - 0 % transparency and 100% opacity
2 - 100 % transparent background using an alpha chanel created in Photoshop,
and 100 % opacity
3 - 0 % transparency and 50% opacity
4 - 100 % transparent background and 50% opacity

Why does the Background Layer unlock itself?

When I open a picture in PS the first layer is a locked background layer. If I start working in PS it changes automatically to an unlocked Layer 0. I want it to stay as an locked background layer. I have used PS for a few years, and just started happening.

With the new version of Photoshop if you work on the background layer and do something like click on the add layer mask icon in the layer palette. Since the background layer does not support transparency Photoshop knows you need to convert the background layer to a normal layer so Photoshop automatically does that for you. If you just paint on the background layer or clear or fill an area, stroke a selection it will remain a background layer with its transparency locked. The Background layer is only partially locked so you can work on it as shown by the un-filled in lock icon on the background layer in the layer palette. If you look here you see layer 2 is unlocked, Layer 1 is fully locked and the background layer is partly locked and has been worked on.
