Broken Thumbnails

Hey Everyone!
Really really need all your help.
http://www.omniaautobodyandelsafaasales.com/autobodygallery/gallery/gallery.html
I can't for the life of me figure out why the thumbnails are
showing up broken.
The images are there. Everything works perfect on my local
machine, but as soon as I upload the site to the server this is the
result.
Any help you all could provide would be outstanding!!
Thanks in advance,
Choda

One more thing.
Even when i try the direct URL the images appear to not be
there, but they are infact there.

The strangest part is that it works perfectly over local
host.

Broken Thumbnails in Firefox not in IE

Hi I am developing a web site or shall I say trying to improve it.
We installed a thumbnail generator called Image Magic on this site.
Now I get some broken thumbnail images on the site and these vary with each page load.
This phenomenon does not occur in Internet Explorer.
We ran firebug and the headers are coming back '''NetworkError: 508 unused''' for these particular thumbnails.
We know this means the that the request has pooched our servers resources fetching these broken thumbnails but again this only happens in FF.
We also know all links are correct because the thumbnails run under the same script and only approx half are affected.
Why is FireFox slamming webserver resources with it's requests?
I have been puzzled with this issue for days now.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

Photoshop Elements 11 only displays broken thumbnails

I recently purchased PE 11 and after installing it would not display the photo thumbnails in Organizer. Instead it only displays the broken thumbnail icon. Why is Elements presenting broken thumbnails for all of my photos and how do I fix this? Not sure if this matters but the only other Adobe product I had installed prior was Lightroom 3.6 (reaching for anything here but perhaps catalog incompatability??). Thanks for any help!

Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit >> Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted. Navigate to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
Inside the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting:

In Yahoo Mail thumbnail photos appear broken in email messages

I cannot view thumbnail photos in email messages that have photo attachments in my Yahoo Mail. The thumbnail appears as a broken image. When I click on the thumbnail it does open up a valid photo image.
The problem occurs all the time in every email that has a thumbnail photo in it. It occurs in not only the Yahoo New Mail version but also in the Yahoo Classic Mail version.
I have tried opening the email with both the Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, but the thumbnails appear broken when viewing the Yahoo Mail in both browsers. I am using Firefox 10.0 and Google Chrome 11.0 on a PC using Windows XP.
I have a screenshot of how the broken thumbnails appear in the message if you want to see it.
(It seems like the problem started with my upgrade to the Firefox 10.0 browser.)

I've contacted yahoo on this same thing and it is them not your browser. I've tried in IE and Firefox and only get a generic thumbnail and if you click on slideshow you get black screen for each image.
Stewart: I have checked and found that this is a technical issue going at our end.
Stewart: Our Engineering team is already working on the resolution now and we intend to have it corrected as soon as possible.
Stewart: The ticket number for this issue is 4904203.
Doesn't look like they are in a hurry to fix the issue, can't believe more people haven't complained. It's been weeks for me and still doesn't work

"Broken" images that can't be deleted

I have a few broken images when I go into the photo application. They appear as a generic strike out "broken" thumbnail. When I try to remove them by selecting them and choose "delete", it first asks me "do you want to delete xxxx.jpg?". After selecting "Yes" I am getting an error message: "General System error". Is there any way to rebuild the index, so the broken thumbnails don't appear anymore?

It just took me the last 3 hours to solve this annoying problem on my N97 so I thought I would share how I fixed it.
I connected the phone on mass storage mode with Windows set to view hidden files. On the images folder, next to the wallpapers, camera, etc. folders, there was one hidden folder containing modified picture file names (like xxxxfile.jpg.xxxx).I guess this is how symbian stores thumbnail data? (?)
I deleted these files without removing the folder altogether and the broken thumbnails on the Photos app on the phone were gone.
This also made some of my non-broken photos disappear from the Photos app even though I could still see them on windows explorer. What I did then was to remove them through windows explorer and copy them again from ovi suite, and violá, my album was fixed.
I don't know what would happen if I remove the folder itself, who knows if that messes up symbian again.

Can iPhoto (or iPhoto Library Manager) identify thumbnails that no longer connect to a full image. I can restore these from Time Machine (I've done so for 3 images) but don't fancy manually clcicking on every photo in my library to find which need restore

I have been preparing photos for export and found some have a thumbnail but no image, only the exclamation mark upon selection. I have restored three 'broken' thumbnails via Time Machine. I want to indentify all the broken thumbnails so I can choose which to restore and also find them quickly in Time Machine. The only way I currently know is to select each thumbnail, individually, and see if it brings up the exclamation mark 'image'. Is there a way to find only the 'broken' thumbnails?
Thanks

I went to TM and "Browse Other Backup Disks", selected the USB drive used for TM, browsed for the most recent backup and, one by one, copied each of the folders within /Users/NAME in the TM backup to /Users/NAME on the freshly installed MBP hard drive. The folders I'm referring to are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public. I overwrote the existing (empty) folders.
That's not how you restore. Might work for other material (pure fluke that,) but iPhoto is a database and the back up is stored in increments. Time Machine needs to reassemble it from the increments.
Enter the Time Machine interface, go to the Pictures Folder. Locate the iPhoto Library you want to restore and click restore.

Updating thumbnails can't find original

Every time i launch iPhoto 11 (after i connect iPhone), and the updating thumbnail process initiates, iPhoto stalls saying it can't find about ~20 original photos. It the same ~20 photos everytime. Tried repairing database. No change.

I did try iPhoto Library Manager before posting here, but it told me it couldn't rebuild the database because it was corrupt! Yikes.
Okay, so I did what someone suggested on another thread, and tried to identify all the 80 or so photos that were supposedly 'missing'. I wrote down the name of every photo on a text edit doc.
Then I did something strange that seems to have worked: I went to Spotlight, and searched for one of the image names. I found it inside the iPhoto library. (I'm not sure why you can't navigate to photos from inside iPhoto, but you can from Spotlight - note, you can't find them in any other finder window, just Spotlight).
I dragged the culprit file to my desktop. Then, when the alert came up again, I used File > Reveal in Finder to navigate to the photo...interestingly, iPhoto then pointed to the original location of the missing file...I then dragged the photo from my desktop back into iPhoto's library via the Finder. Voila, the photo was re-linked.
But here's where it gets interesting. Somehow other photos got re-linked, too!
I quit the program, and the same problem reoccurred. So I took the steps again above, but this time I did something slightly different afterward.
I went to the TextEdit doc, and I found each and every photo, and dragged it into an album I'd created (I called it something like "Photos to Fix" or something). I then went to the Trash, and found some broken aliases in there, too. I emptied the Trash, after clicking 'cancel' on each error message. Then, I quit and restarted iPhoto several times. The problem is gone! I then moved the photos out of the "Photos to Fix" album, and the problem has not returned.
In short:
- Find a broken photo in iPhoto, note the name
- Navigate to the photo in Spotlight (not finder)
- Drag it out of the iPhoto Library and onto the desktop
- Go back to iPhoto
- Select "Reveal in Finder" on the broken thumbnail
- iPhoto will go to the location the photo USED to be
- Go back to Finder
- Drag the photo back into its old location
- Go back to iPhoto
- Move that photo, and any other problem photos, to a new album
- Empty Trash if there are any problem files there, too
- Restart iPhoto
- Problem solved
That's what worked for me, though I admit it is wonky and illogical. Maybe someone can shed light on why this worked.

Thumbnail Generation Logic is weird?

I have been spending some time on Aperture for the last couple of days with Trial version 2.1. As you know, if thumbnail is not generated (and cached of course) for an image, Aperture will show a fuzzy/blurred image in Browser Mode, and that will get clear as Aperture generates the thumbnail. As far as I can see here is how thumbnails (rendering/generation/caching) work on Aperture:
1. Aperture has some kind of a "smart" algorithm (which really is not that smart at all, at least for me) to select candidates for thumbnail generation (will go into this a bit more below)
2. Menu option: Images -> Generate thumbnails is quite useless in that it does not care what images you select (almost none) if you select more than 5-10 images. For example, select 500 images and hit Images->Generate thumbnails, it ignores what you selected and goes with its own selection algorithm. Having said that, selected images might have some kind of an influence on this, but it definitely does not render it for all 500 images, e.g. it will render 10-20 images around the current window...
3. "Smart" selection algo is not that smart I said, because it tries to select images around what you are viewing, but keep failing to do so. For example, in brower only window, hit page down couple of times, and it starts generating thumbnails for a few items on the current window/view pane, but not all!... So, it ends up generating thumbnails for like 3-4 only out of 20, and you end up with a page that has 80% broken thumbnails, 20% properly generated ones.
4. For the 80% in (3), you click on one of the images, then it starts rendering/generating the thumbnail for that particular image. Sometimes it does this in batches, e.g. you click on one and it renders that one, the one on the left and right as well, but sometimes only the one you clicked.
5. Sometimes for the same 80% in (3), you select a few images and it renders these as you select them. Sometimes it just does not. If it does not, you can hit Generate Thumbnails and it will generate it for the few.
6. What is even weirder is that, for the 80% in (3), you select some images, and it does nothing. But, then you change the focus (e.g. alt+tab to a different window) and come back to Aperture, and it will start rendering...
All in all, it is quite annoying to have inconsistent behavior like this, and the fact that Generate Thumbnails is useless is something I find really stupid! If it is there, it should work, if it is not intended to what it does, you should remove it...
I am soo ready to buy Aperture, but this thumbnail generation stupidity and constant fight with Aperture to get proper thumbnails is driving me nuts...

I really need to use a program that allows call via command line as ImageMagick to use it in an application .Net, I can generate the thumbnails with Illustrator CS5 files, but can not generate from Illustrator CS6 files, this error only appears with files from CS6, as if you know help me thank you.
Already gratefully,

PSE 5.0/RAW 4.4.1 - Intermittent thumbnails & opening of NEF

A couple months ago I re-installed my Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a new computer. Today I noticed my Nikon NEF files showed broken thumbnails.
It's been many months since I used NEF files, and I remembered that PSE needs the Camera RAW.8bi file. I downloaded RAW 4.4.1 and installed the file as described.
Now odd things happen:
1. The thumbnails for the NEFs still show up as broken in my PSE catalog.
2. I can always open the NEF using Quick Edit or Full Edit.
3. If I reboot & run PSE 5.0 then I can just click and view the NEF, but once I use Quick Edit or Full Edit then I can no longer click on the NEF thumbnail (broken) and view the file.
4. Oddly, after I use Quick Edit or Full Edit (even without saving, just used CANCEL) I get a thumbnail show up in the catalog view. Once the thumbnail shows up, I can then open the file (to view) by double clicking the thumbnail.
What's up. It was relatively smooth about a year ago. Have I forgotten something simple? The intermittent behaviour leads me to believe something new is at play and not just my newbie PSE Elements knowledge.
Thanks for any help!

As an aside, I'm in the process of obtaining a refund for my recently purchased copy of PsElements 6 for Windows from Adobe.
Anyone who owns a halfway decent camera and is shooting raw, should really upgrade to CS3. ACR is massively, woefully crippled when hosted by PsElements, and you are simply not getting the most out of your images if you run ACR in Elements.
There are
many other limitations in Elements, but ACR is the relevant topic in this forum.

Customising thumbnails of template files

Hello, I was wondering if there's a way to customise the thumbnail of an antmpl file?
My department currently use Edge Animate to create e-Learning modules. To speed up the process we've made template files for each of the pages that are used within a course, e.g. chapters, quizzes, but as the templates are mostly white it takes more time to distinguish between them.
The current thumbnails do have titles underneath them but a graphic would speed things up a little. I could add a graphic as the top layer of the template but then it would be a nuisance for users, having to delete it each time they created a new page.

Holger, thanks for the screenshot confirming what you are seeing.
Please click on the broken thumbnail and copy the file link from the browser location bar. Will be something like https://creative.adobe.com/file/40869742-fa53-4dcd-b29c-6962ede2b013.
No one will be able to view the links (including me) but the the asset ID ("40869742-fa53-4dcd-b29c-6962ede2b013") will allow for further investigation. You can also email them to me at [email protected]
As a workaround you should be able to download and re-upload the files and have the thumbnails show.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the thumbnails of the uploaded PDF files are no longer available ...
Any hints ???

Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews

I have just noticed a problem that I have not encountered until I upgraded to 3.3. After I export my images as jpegs, the thumbnail previews are not complete for a few of the files. I get about two corrupt thumbnails in Windows Explorer out of 100 exported images. Here is a screenshot showing what they look like.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1426292/Capture.JPG
The images are fine when I open the files, but the previews are not complete. I would like to fix it so my clients don't get "broken" thumbnail views. Has anyone else seen this problem? Suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

Re: Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews
LR 3.3 and PS 4 ext. The original was a camera phone jpeg.
No, I have only VERY rarely had this happen. I don't use this workflow. I was trouble shooting an issue for someone that is having a problem. I was quite surprised to see it happen. The computer is an i7 running Vista 64.
Your fix would require ALL previews to be rebuilt. I have a catalog of over 80,000 images. I don't see that as a reasonable fix. If it was a problem, I'd rather try deleting image from catalog and then sync the folder again and see if that fixed it. No need to trash a bunch of good previews for one bad apple. : ) especially since it's just a test jpeg image. I suspect a read/write time with image size and such playing a role.

PSE7 saves edit as broken file

I have been using PSE7 for a few months. It went through a period where it wouldn't edit at all. Then it starting working. Now for the past week it will edit but it saves as a broken file. Can anyone help? I am running Windows XP and have not made any changes to my computer recently. I also have PSE3 and it won't edit either. I get the message "Adobe Photoshop 8 does not run under this version of the operating system. Please check the package minimum requirements for the operatins system lever necessary for this software". It had worked fine for three plus years, now this. Thank you.

There could be a lot of reasons for a broken thumbnail.
One suggestion is for you to check to make sure you are saving the file with a valid extension in the file name ... something like .jpg or .psd or .tif would be examples of valid extensions (of course, there are others). If the file name has an invalid extension, then you might get a broken thumbnail.
Another possible reason for this is that you have used two periods in the file name. Something like Boston.May2009.jpg is invalid.

PSDs and Broken Files

Have added text as a layer to lots of JPEGS in the course of which automatically changed photos to PSDs. Because the backup to CDs was going to need far too many CDs, decided to delete all layers, which I did and then backed up to CDs. I then discovered that the CDs would not open the individual photos, only dispaying a camera sign and PSD. I then tried changing the format back to JPEG, but ended up with "broken" thumbnails and no photo and could not even open the original which I had duplicated, Apart from deleting some 700 photos in that catalogue and importing them again from my Memory Cards, which I luckily had not erased, what should I have done, or do ? I use WinXP and can still view the photos with Elements 5 on PC, except for those broken. Help!!!!

Hi - Thankyou for taking the time to reply to my query, I appreciate that.
As we travel a bit and take lots of photos, I deleted on PC down to 700 kept from 1700+ taken on a recent trip. For the first time I decided to add the various place names etc (as you do forget over time) to the individual photos as a text layer. Time consuming but no problem. When I finished that, to save disk space and risk losing the photos if my PC crashed, I started to back up to CD to discover back up would require 21 CDs. I then went back and deleted all the text layers which reduced the number of required CD.s to 10, which were finalised and verified, again no problem, expecting to display the photos as a slideshow.
Apparently Windows does not like PSD files as neither Windows Live Photo Gallery or Windows Picture and Fax Viewer will display the photos saved to the CD, they will only show the CD name ie. Greenland 2009 but nothing else. Documents My Pictures only displays thumbnails with a camera picture with PSD on it. However I have Googles Picasa 3 which will allow me display the photos on the CD as a slideshow. but unfortunately in no particular order. I have tried changing the format back to JPEGS in Elements Editor and OK'd the change which appeared to be accepted but stll show as PSDs when I switch back to Organiser (also show as PSDs in Properties) where I have for each photo, one broken thumbnail and one awaiting editing to be completed. I have not yet found a way of completing the "edit" without first deleting the broken thumbnail, and of course I then lose the photo to the Recycle Bin.
Although PSE, does display each photo individually, I am not sure if it is displaying from the CD or if it is switching to the photos still on my hard drive. I would need to try a careful experiment!
Not being PC technically minded I would have thought that Microsoft would recognise PSD files and Photoshop, since Elements convert JPEGs to PSDs, could allow PSDs to be changed back to JPEGs. Perhaps they do but PSE8 and WIN 7 is needed!
Anyway, thanks again. Alan Gordon
