Camera Raw icons don't display as thumbnails

New Canon T3i; I download files from camera to folder; the display as generic icon "CR2" in big blue letters, file is a page with camera lens staring at me. Previous camera Canon G11 worked fine; that is, transfer pics from camera, and without any processing the file icons display as thumbnails, if I have the View settings correct. Apple says its Canon's EOS Utility, not creating the thumbnail, whereas its CameraWindow for my G11 did. But; I was able to also transfer files from Camera to a folder via Adobe Bridge CS5, and it too didnt create thumbnails. So I'm ruling out Canon's file transfer software somewhat.
Canon says it's Apple, they need to update their OS. I pointed out that their Camera Raw Updater is only for Aperture & Iphoto and wont install any codec or driver specific to the OS. I can open the Raw files fine with Photoshop or Bridge CS5, and if I save file as a PSD, Tiff, or Jpeg, the Icon displays as a thumbnail. But I shouldnt have to process the files to display the icon as a thumbnail; if my G11 an do it, then a better camera ought to be able to do it too.
So who's not allowing the display of file thumbnails; Apple or Canon ?

Jim + Jeff,
Thanks for the clarification. I know that in Bridge you can choose to sort files by pretty much whatever you want. It just seemed odd that if you just open files directly in PS (as far as I can tell) there's no way to adjust the order in which they display.
Oh well, if Bridge is the answer, then Bridge is the answer.
Thanks.

PS CS2 Camera Raw files don't display in numerical order - is there a fix?

If I select a number of .NEF files in the finder and double click on them or drag them onto the PS CS2 icon, when the preview images are displayed vertically along the left side of the Camera Raw window, they're not in numerical order. That is, if the files were 001.NEF, 002.NEF, 003.NEF, etc... though 50, the order might be: 10, 5, 24, 43, 12...
It makes it difficult to choose between multiple versions of the same subject when they're not right next to each other. It's not the end of the world, but it is a little obnoxious. I haven't been able to find any preference or option to change this... is there anything I'm missing? Does anyone else get this?
I'm on a Mac G5 running 10.4.11 and CS2.
Thanks for any help,

Can not open Camera Raw in Bridge CS4, or see thumbnails

MacBook Pro
OS 10.5.5
Photo Shop CS4 version 11
Camera Raw 5.2.0.65
I had another version of Camera Raw from PS3. When I bought the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, I deleted the old camera raw plug in, so as to not conflict with the new camera raw plug in.
When I open PS4, click Photoshop, click about plug in, ONLY one version of Camera Raw comes up.
In OS 10, when I click GO at the top, then applications, then Adobe Photoshop CS4, then Plug Ins, then File Formats, I get two Camera Raw icons: a blue lego like icon that says "Camera Raw.plugin" and another icon that looks like the Macintosh HD icon, but is labeled "CameraProfiles.dmg"
The problem is that I can't open files in Camera Raw when in Bridge CS4, nor can I see the little photo thumbnails either.
Can someone please help?
Desperate in NYC.

The Photoshop folder is NOT the correct location for the Camera Raw plug-in, since several versions of Photoshop.
The correct location, is, as described in the readme and in the FAQ of this very forum [hint]:

PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1?

PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1. How to fix?

You would have to buy a third party codec for thumbnail displays that Windows doesn't support.
Ardfry Imaging, LLC
So why should you have to pay?
I have many years ago tried to get Microsoft to implement thumbnail support to no avail.
So in the end, Ardfrey's codec takes care of it for $20, free upgrades and I can get on with any work that requires thumbnails at the OS level.

Camera Raw CS5 fails to Display

Camera Raw CS5 fails to display when I attempt to open a jpg in Camera Raw or any RAW format file. The Bridge locks up, and when I run the task manager in Windows 7 (64-bit) and force close the Bridge, an icon for Camera Raw shows up in the task manager window and says Camera Raw is Running.
Thanks for any assistance.

Michi555555 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the Camera RAW update which is failing to apply. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Some RAW images don't display

i have a folder with about 300 RAW photos from my new Canon 50D. In bridge some of them show up but many, seemingly randomly selected show as the generic CR2 icon. I've got the beta of Adobe RAW and i can open the files in photoshop. Any suggestions? Thanks

Update to the final version of ACR 4.6, released today.
Ramón G Castañeda, "Camera Raw 4.6 and DNG Converter Available" #1, 10 Oct 2008 1:02 pm
Then Purge the Cache for each darn folder, one by one, through the Tools menu in Bridge: Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.
Don't use the global purge cache command in Bridge preferences. It's broken.

Adobe Reader Shortcut Icons don't display properly

Uninstalled and reinstalled latest version. Recently used program list on XP Home S3 Start Menu doesn't display Adobe logo and neither does Adobe Reader 9 shortcut on All Programs. PDF shortcuts display properly.
Tried to search knowledge base and found no relevant articles. I can't believe you have to buy support for Adobe products.
Thanks

You can use Properties | Change Icon to adjust the icons on shortcuts. Unfortunately this has to be done on each shortcut itself; it will not adjust all of them automatically.

Leica M9 and Aperture3 not showing camera aperture setting when import DNG files. Shutter speed and ISO are indicated, but not aperture. When I export and open in Adobe Camera Raw aperture setting is displayed.

Does any one have a suggestion as to how to get A3 to show the camera aperture setting on Leica M9 DNG files?

You will want to read this thread in its entirety.
The short story (as I understand it) is that the M9 body receives no information about aperture from attached lenses. It is able to derive an estimate of the aperture, though, and it lists this derived number in the metadata field "Approximate F-stop" (not the exact field name). Aperture (the program) does not report the contents of this proprietary field.

Camera Raw 8.2 "Done" button

The "Done" button in Camera Raw 8.3 is not applying edited changes to XMP data. For example, edit an image in Camera Raw, hit "Done." Re-open image later and the image is back in its default, unedited state. Image location has not changed in finder -- accompanying XMP file is right there.
The "Open Image" works as it should, both immediately, and if image is re-opened later.
The "Save Image" button also does NOT save XMP data or edited changes. Is there any troubleshooting or solution to this issue?
Photoshop CC, Mac OS 10.9.1.

Don't know about the Done button problem, clicking it it has always applied the changes in the XMP sidecar file and exited ACR for my system.
However, the Save button causes a file to be exported with all changes embedded in the image data (jpeg or tiff), no XMP data is saved in the exported file and no XMP data is modified on the local system, so your observed action is correct.

DNGs produced from Hasselblad .fff files display a different image in Bridge and Camera Raw

Lately, not sure when this started exactly, Bridge CC (and Camera RAW 8.7) are displaying incorrect DNG images! Instead of showing the image I expect to see, I'll see an old image from days ago. This seems to carry on from Bridge through to Camera RAW. But then if I continue on to Photoshop with the image, it'll finally show the correct image.
I'm assuming this has something to do with DNG, because if I load another raw file type (like .fff or .NEF), it seems ok. Also it seems to be ok with DNGs produced from other cameras like Nikon D90.
My set up:
- Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
- Bridge CC
- Camera Raw 8.7
- Photoshop CC 2014
- Hasselblad H4D-50

HI, I managed to fix the trouble by reinsatalling once again and running updates BEFORE opening bridge. It seemed that if I ran the update AFTER opening bridge I would get either an up to date status when checking for updates or I would get an install failure notice on all 4 updates that were trying to install. The updates were for camera raw, bridge and PS. I can't explain why but that helped a little. I also changed permissions on my whole user accnt to include read/write for all users. I can't say if this helped or not. I also had to go into my camera B/U files on a sepate HD and replace some of the CR folders I was using o nthe desktop. Still the CR files would not show a thumb nor a preview till I then went to each individual file inside that folder and purged the cashe for that file so it could repopulate the cashe yet again. This has been the strangest few days in PSCS6 history! Well my personal history. I will report back here if more quirks emerge. I would prefer quarks though....aloha, U

Camera connector to load photos on iPad - will they display camera RAW file

If I use the camera connector to load photos to an iPad, will files in camera RAW format (Nikon .NEF) display?

When you import an image, may it be RAW or JPG it will create an optimized JPG version that it will display in the Photos app. When you sync to the computer it will copy the real RAW or JPG images over instead. This preserves EXIF data of the images as well. Some apps allow you to access the full sized RAW or JPG to upload or edit. One that I know works is FTP-on-the-Go, it will allow you to view and upload the full sized images to an FTP server and preserve the EXIF data there as well.

Bug: Custom AIR Application icons on Mac OS X don't display after install

There are circumstances where custom AIR application icons don't display in certain Finder views after installation.
This is apparent when viewing the application in a docked folder popup. The icon renders as a blank with a sort of no entry slash across it. Another example where this occurs is in a Downloads folder in the Dock (if you immediately create an alias to the app in the your Downloads folder, and your Downloads folder is in the Dock).
In addition, the maximum icon size of 128x128 really not that large. I wish AIR applications could have larger icons, like real applications.

I've seen this occur with numerous applications (native OS X and AIR) and typically restarting the dock (rebooting or logout/login) fixes it for me. Doing a quick search on Google show's that it's a pretty common occurrence. Are you still seeing this occur after rebooting?
As for the large icon support, I would like to encourage you to vote for the following two feature requests!
Application Icon Size
512x512 Icon Support
Thanks,

How to get Adobe Camera RAW loaded so I can open RAW files from a Panasonic LX7?

I opened these images two days ago. Now I get a message that the CS6 Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. I went online and again(3rd time)downloaded Camera RAW 7.3 and tried installing and opening the images.
Once again - same thing.
Now I have something called a DNG converter on the machine and I don't know what it is.
I opened it and tried to get to the LX7 files in my computer I can see in Bridge - and the DNG converter does not show the files at all.
I was doing just fine with CS5 - then I bought this piece of crap because I could not get an update for CS5 to open the Panasonic Lumix LX7 images. So, I wasted $200 on CX6 only to find I can't get my images opened.
I hate photoshop more every damn day
First, took three days and over 9 hours wasted on hold for Adobe phone help - and finally got a guy on to help me register Photoshop CS6 - and he could not get it to register. Finally after a day & a half and hours of continually cutting and pasting from teh online computer to the main computer that does not hook up to the Internet I got CS6 to work.
Then, I opened the Panasonic LX7 RAW images twice after downloading and installing Adobe Camera RAW 7.1 and 7.3 - and now the machine does not recognize the files and tells me to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111
I went there and have downloaded the Camera Raw 7.1 and 7.3 four different times now and tried installing it - and Still can't open the damn files. I keep getting the same "photoshop cannot open this file" message and teh same referenc to teh above.
How can I get this piece of Shiz to work???
Oh - the name for ID above is after 22 minutes of trynig to find an name this program would accept.

The first thing I would suggest is, in Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw to verify what version is installed. There should only be one version listed, and listed only once. If there are more, then you need to get rid of the extras.
The DNG converter is a program that will create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw images. It takes all of the raw image data and copies it to a new file format. The raw data is unmodified, and the DNG file is a standardized and open documented file format. But the DNG converter will not list the actual files. You choose the folder that contains your original raw images, and then the converter will put the copies wherever you choose to put them. But if your camera is supposed to be supported by the latest version of Camera Raw, I don't know if converting will solve the problem. It won't hurt anything; your raw files are still intact.
It would be helpful if you could describe your computer; operating system, how much RAM, a little information to allow the experts (of which I am NOT one) to help you isolate and solve this problem.

The camera raw button in Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my camera raw files are hidden by a c

The Camera Raw button in my Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my raw files are hidden by a cover that says PEF and has a camera raw icon on it. I can open the files in camera raw if I double click on the file but I want to see the files and be able to use the camera raw button. How can I fix it?

This means you have not the correct ACR plug in to support your PEF files or no ACR plug in installed at all.
In photoshop go to the menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera Raw.
Here should be showing the version number of your ACR plug in (only 1 version should show btw)
Then go to this site and check wether your camera is listed and what minimal version you need to open the files:

How to open smart object in camera raw

Hi,
As the subject line reads, I'm having trouble opening a smart object in camera raw. Every tutorial I read or watch says, "double click on your smart object thumbnail to open the image in camera raw." But every time I do, all it does is open a copy of the image as a .psb file.
Before you ask,
-The images I work with are stock images, JPG's.
-I've tried to find an option in Photoshop > Preferences that will let me open smart objects in camera raw all the time;
-I've tried opening these files directly in camera raw. When I do, there's a little link below the image that reads something like,
Adobe RGB (1998); 8 bit; 2008 by 3000 (6.0 MP); 240 ppi
I click on it, and there's a 'click box for "open in Photoshop as smart objects"; clicking this will allow me to open the image in Camera Raw upon double clicking on the thumbnail. But it will only work that way for that one instance of that one image.
Anyway to make this happen?
Thanks,
KP

What is the .extension after your filename on this file? Needs to be .jpg, .tif or .psd. Then choose open, and change format to Camera raw.
If you are saving as .jpg, the smart object has been bitmapped, and is a no longer smart object.
