Can't preview images

Why do I get the message "can't preview image" after importing photos from my camera into LR 5?

Do you really mean "after importing"? In which case what happens if you take one of these images into the Develop module? Do you see it there?
Or do you mean you get this message during the import? In which case, what camera are you importing from, and what version of LR5 are you using? Also are you trying to import directly from the camera or are you using a card reader? If direct from camera, try a card raeder.

  • Can't preview images as thumbnil or cover flow

    Hi everyone.
    Previously i was able to view images in finder as thumbnails as well as cover flow, but yesterday i found out that that the images in finder takes the "preview" icon although although that in the finder view options the show icon preview is ticked.
    Please take a look at the images

    How can i get my finder back to show thumbnails of my images?

    This may not fix your problem but sense no one else has offered a solution I'll try to help.
    I wasn't able to recreate you problem exactly but something to try is to hold 'cmd option' then 'I' to open a small window which is similar to the 'get info' window but it's content will change to whatever folder or file you select. When the window is open select the icon in the top left corner until a blue box highlights around the image. If you don't see a blue box then there is an image there blocking the default one. You'll just need to click it a time or two and then press 'cmd x' to cut the image out. You may have another image placed over the default image which is blocking the default icon from being shown. Like I said initially, this may not be your problem but you could try it. You may have inadvertently altered the image icons.

  • How can I see preview images of STN files in CS4?

    I save many of my art files as STN (Genuine Fractals) files so I can print on demand at various sizes. I used to be able to see tiny preview images of these files; now, using CS4 32-bit or 64-bit with Windows 7 64-bit OS, all I see in my STN folder is little blank page icons - no images. I have descriptive filenames, but still - it would REALLY help to be able to quickly scan the images for the one I want to open in PhotoShop. I used to be able to see these preview STN images. Help??

    Theoretically, to see Sting format (.stn) thumbnails, you'd have to get a codec from the OnOne software people and install it into Windows Explorer as a shell extension.  This has nothing to do with Photoshop.
    I know of no such codec available, at least not for .x64 systems (64 bit Explorer).  I haven't seen .stn thumbnails for a long time, and I currently have their Perfect Resize 7 product.
    But it seems to me that a long ago when I used a 32 bit OS there was a time that I could see .stn thumbnails.  Perhaps they once provided a 32 bit codec with their product, or I had a 3rd party codec that understood the format.
    It would be a great question to pose to OnOne Software.  If you do, please report back here what they say.

  • Can you change the size of the preview images on an Apple TV without changing video resolution?

    I have a 32 inch LCD TV. My room is relatively large and I can't easily see the preview images or read the text on the TV across the room. Is it possible to change the size of preview images in the menu screens without increasing the resolution of the TV itself? I think this should be possible, but can't seem to find a way to do it.

    No that's not something you can do on the Apple TV.
    If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here.

  • Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.
    HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs.
    Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
    Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
    The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
    The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. 
    Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
    Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.

  • Why can't I see a preview image when opening files in InDesign?

    I have "Always save preview images with documents" checked in File Handling, also with Save As. But I can only see the CS3 ID icon in my folders on the desktop, and when opening a file in InDesign. I'm running 10.4.11. Shouldn't I be able to see a preview image of the first page of an InDesign file?
    Thanks!

    i think those preview images means that indesign saves a lowres image of every placed image inside indd. So you can open your indd in some other computer and see all placed images even if you don´t have all the original linked hires images transferred with indd.
    If you want to see your documents first page as document icon, use Bridge to browse your files. It recognizes a content of indd files and show first page as icon. .

  • Can I extract an InDesign preview image?

    Somehow one of my Tiff images that I use in InDesign has been corrupted. PS won't open it (it tells me that it is not a Tiff file), so the only record I have of the image is the preview that InDesign grabbed when I first imported the image. InDesign shows me the image when I go to that page, but when I try to export or print, InDesign tells me it can't find the file.
    This image is not a very important one. It is a simple drawing I made in PS with a few fills and I'm quite happy with the quality that I see in InDesign. So I thought I'd try to export it to PDF and grab the image from within the PDF. Wouldn't export. OK, how about embedding the file and exporting? No go. Print? No.
    That is my problem. Instead of me spending a few hours to redraw the image, given that I'm happy with what I see on screen, can I get the image out of InDesign?

    Sandee, maybe I didn't do what you suggested. Let me use colours to explain what I did. I clicked on the white pointer, clicked on the image and it was surrounded by a brown rectangle, then I copied (or cut) and nothing got copied to the clipboard. I tried images that are OK, and still nothing happened. I am using CS, maybe that's why I can't copy a preview image.
    Do you mean that when you copy an image with the direct selection tool, that you are copying InDesign's stored preview to the clipboard?
    I also tried these:
    1. Copying the image and pasting it back into InDesign CS. That worked, but I couldn't copy the second image to the clipboard.
    2. Cut the image and repasted into InDesign. Again, I wasn't able to copy or cut to the clipboard.
    Maybe trying to paste into Photoshop CS is where the problem lies. I'm going to download a trial version of CS3 to see if that works.

  • In iphoto, when I click on Print, the preview image it shows me is an enlarged section of my photo. I cropped the photo and checked with no restraints. Once the photo goes to Print, I can't fix it back to the way it is in iphoto.

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • Can I have a preview image(tiff) in panel?

    I want a preview image(tif file) in my photoshop extension panel. However, the Flex control Image only support .bmp, .jpg, .png. Is there any control that can have any format image preview like photoshop LAYERS panel do? Or you have another way to fix it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    The Navigator panel has a preview of your .psd with layers. Infact I think it works with all file formats. It can be re-sized to whatever size you want. You may have already known all this. But if not, just open up the navigator panel.. would that work for what you need?

  • How can I load preview images into an extra file?

    Hi,
    I've got a question concerning those preview images. I wrote a plugin which uses the actual paths of the photos in the catalog an stores those paths of each photo into a log file. Then an external program has access to that file for further handling. So now I would like to use preview photos instead of the raw images. First, because the user might want to use the picture he/she edited with Lightroom; And then because of the size.Processing a preview image of level 5 would be more efficient than the original photo.
    So how can I get those preview photos? And more important: is it possible to store them in an extra file in a jpg format for instance, so that an external program can make use of them?

    Look at source code in PreviewExporter plugin.

  • Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD? Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?

    Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD?
    Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?
    I currenlty have a NAS which holds all my images.

    Yes you can, but you really, really don't want to.
    You can store your photos on the External and have iPhoto link to them in that location. It's called having a Referenced Library.
    In this scenario iPhoto creates an alias to the files in the Library and that's why you don't want to do this. Aliases work fin when everything is on the same volume or disk. However, if the alias points to something on another disk or volume and something in the path to the file changes, then the alias is broken. That means you could find yourself fixing each alias for every single photo in your Library, one at a time if something goes wrong.
    And heaven forbid you would ever want to move the files to another disk.
    See why I say you really, really don't want to?
    Also note, that your edited photos would still be on the internal HD as they are always stored in the Library.
    Aperture, on the other hand, can deal with this scenario quite easily, and has tools to reconnect to the original should the link be broken

  • Can I force Photoshop CC to regenerate preview images?

    I have a photoshop file that seems to have corrupted preview images.  When I look at the file in bridge I only see a photoshop icon.  I have tried the following solutions, all unsuccessfully:
        clearing the bridge thumbnail cache
         saving the file as a copy in photoshop.
         restarting my system
    Photoshop CC 64, Bridge CC 64, Windows 7 64bit
    Preferences->File Saving Options-> Image Previews is Always Save
    Any other suggestions?

    This doesn't seem to solve the problem as the new file also does not show a preview image.
    Puzzling indeed!
    I did notice, however, that most metadata also appeared to be gone (bridge reported no color profile,
    or pixel dimensions for example).  This suggested an alternative approach.  I opened the original .dng
    file again and then copied the layers from the damaged .psd per this suggestion.  When saved, there was
    a preview!  However, it was only a preview of the base conversion.  No matter what layers are visible when
    the file is saved, the preview doesn't change.  Still not right.  I hesitate to continue to work with an obviously
    corrupted file.

  • Can't see preview images

    I went in to do some general editing today and I cannot see any of my images within Aperture 3. When I scroll over the projects to the left-hand side of my screen the number of Versions which are supposed to be within each project are shown, but the actual image previews are not...
    I didn't make any setting changes, etc. since the last time I was in Aperture when everything was working fine.
    Any ideas on how to make these preview images viewable again, without rebuilding my entire library?
    Thank.

    Does this persist after closing and relaunching Aperture?
    If you have to force quit Aperture, you might have to open it, close it successfully (without intervention), and open it again.
    This happens to me regularly, but once I get Aperture to close properly, it goes away.

    Spotlight lists items and shows preview images.  BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
    Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
    Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine:  e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
    Can I make Spotlight show the path?

    Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window.  Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.
