Can't view thumbnails of tif files...

Bridge CS4 was working fine before I installed a new OCR software program. Now I can't view any thumbnails of files saved with a tif or tiff extensions. I checked the file type and it is associated with Photoshop CS4, not sure what has happened or how to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated...

Not a computer geek, but this shot tells me the file is not a tif but an omniPage file.
I googled omnipage and came up with this. Hope it is helpful and you have not already been there, done that.
Looks like this is for XP, but if you have Vista procedure should be similar.
Question
I've just installed Omnipage Pro. I've discovered that it has altered
all of the image file associations on my machine. (God, that ****es me
off when they do that!)
Answer
Click the "Restore" button in the File Types dialog, and click OK. Then to
fix the association settings, try the fix from here:

For all other file types, you may use this tool:

Can't view thumbnails in cs4 photoshop or bridge

Hi,
I can't view cs2 or DNG files thumbnails in CS4 photoshop or bridge. I'm using vista 64 home premium and recently had to reinstall cs4 on a new disc. It worked fine before on my old disc but now it doesn't.
I've searched through the various topics on this, I've only got one copy of the correct file (Camera Raw.8bi) in the correct folders, CS4 is shown in the bridge / edit / prefs / file type associations.
I can click on a file and it opens in bridge but I just can't see the thumbs.
One point though - the DNG convertor states that it needs camera raw v 7.1 or later so maybe that's why I can't read the dng file (even though I can open them) but it doesn't explain why I can't see the cr2 files.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Doug

If purging the cache doesn't work, the ACR plug-in (which is called Camera Raw.8bi) may be in the wrong place.
It should be in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
There is another plug-ins folder in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ Adobe CS3 folder. If the ACR plug-in is in there, delete it.

Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

Just imported a large picture library from Aperture to LR 5.7.1- Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5. The projects and files loaded - but no thumbnail view of the image

I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

How can I view my 6D raw files before I open them in post processing?

How can I view my 6D raw files after I load them on my computer & before I open them on a post processing Program?
I have no problem doing that with my 1DX,1DIV or 5Dmk III. This problem exist with any sdhc card I use on the 6D, but not on any other camera with the same cards.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your computer doesn't have camera RAW support installed for a 6D. RAW isn't really a standard-format... it's more of a concept. Every individual camera has it's own unique RAW format (even though they all have the same .CR2 extension).
Each time a new camera comes out, companies that make RAW processing software will make an update available that adds that camera. You'll need to get that update and install it.

PSE4 - No thumbnails for .TIF files (Fuzzy TIF problem?)

My PSE4 newly installed on my Win XP. But, I just catalogued the first 100 of my black-and-white photos into the PSE Organizer. These were all a standard format of 4x6" at 300 dpi gray scale files. But, while the .jpg files show thumbnails in the Organizer, the .tif thumbnails show up as black rectangles. Still these .tifs can be viewed in the PSE editor, and when I resave them as a .psd file, a thumbnail shows up in the Organizer for the .psd. (Oh, an attempt to resave the original file in PSE as .tif didn't help).
Post script -- I just tried to catalogue a few of my more recent 4x6" gray scale .tif files as I described above. I noted that the thumbnails for the .tif files showed up in PSE Organizer for just a second or two, and then promptly changed to black rectangles. Interesting
But I have hundreds of such .tif photos still to be catalogued: (1) Am I going to have to resave each file as .psd, and (2) is there any downside to .psd as long as I'm using Adobe software? I just noted that my online photo processor (Fuji) doesn't accept .psd files.
I saw in the forum about PSE4 encountering the "fuzzy .tiff" problem but couldn't find a full explanation anywhere. I had the impression that not all .tiffs are created equal! I think most of mine were created by Adobe Photoshop 7 that I once had access to. I'm really worried that PSE4 is not going to work out for me.

I don't use Windows, so I don't know if you'll find anything helpful, but I'm sure you'll at least get some comfort from knowing you're not the only person experiencing a problem with TIFF files in PSE 4.0. :(

Can't view Sony RAW (.ARW) file in Adobe Bridge

Hi all,
Need some assistance here.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
I've installed the Adobe Camera Raw update version 4.6.
With this, I'm able to do the relevant editing with the Sony Alfa raw files (.ARW) in Camera Raw.
But the funny thing is, when using adobe bridge I can't view the thumbnails as I view it in camera raw / photoshop.
The thumbnails is "blank". This only happens on .ARW files. I'm able to view jpeg files in thumbnail.
When I check the camera raw preferences in adobe bridge, it shows me it's 4.6.
I'm currently using Mac OS X (Leopard).
Do any of you faced this before?
Hope that any of you could shed a light on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Have you figured out a workaround for this? Most of the forums regarding this issue
are windows related or full of arguments. I'm guessing there may not be a solution to this problem so I'm curious what approach you're taking.
Thanks!

Can't view thumbnails in Bridge

I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit), have downloaded the most recent RAW update (4.6) for CS3. I'm able to open RAW files and work with them---just can't view the "thumbnail photo" in Bridge---makes it difficult to view and edit files. What am I missing?? Thanks!

If purging the cache doesn't work, the ACR plug-in (which is called Camera Raw.8bi) may be in the wrong place.
It should be in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
There is another plug-ins folder in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ Adobe CS3 folder. If the ACR plug-in is in there, delete it.

Can't load thumbnail photo from file 'BBThumbs.dat'

Hi everybody,
I'm developing an application on BB to take and view photo. My problem is can't load the thumbnail photos from file 'BBThumbs.dat'. I'm using code as below:
public byte[] getThumb(String fileName) {
String DB = fileName.substring(0, fileName.lastIndexOf('/'))
+ "/BBThumbs.dat";
fileName = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, fileName
.length());
if (thumbsMap == null) {
thumbsMap = new Hashtable();
byte b[] = null;
FileConnection fc = null;
InputStream in = null;
try {
fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open(DB, Connector.READ);
if (!fc.exists()) {
return null;
byte[] temp=new byte[(int)fc.fileSize()];
in = fc.openInputStream();
DataInputStream is=new DataInputStream(in);
// b = getThumbNail(first, thumbsMap, fileName, in);
is.readFully(temp);
b=readThumbs(temp, fileName);
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
if (fc != null) {
try {
fc.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
return b;
please give my any idea or suggestions. Thanks

Try:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Members=SKU
'Name;DataType
Brand1;Unspecified
Brand2;Unspecified
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage
#root;Brand1;StoreData
#root;Brand2;StoreData
Tho I would add MemberValidForPlan#;Plan#Aggregation, where # is a number of your application which this member is valid for or even has a specific aggregation, as well
example:
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage;MemberValidForPlan1;MemberValidForPlan2;MemberValidForPlan3;Plan1Aggregation;Plan2Aggregation;Plan3Aggregation;UDA
#root;Brand1;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
#root;Brand2;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
Even more as an idea use pipes, maybe.
But you will need to say something about Aliases as well if this is a planning application.

How do i view thumbnails or .mp4 files in my windows folders? for quicktime

i noticed since switching my cameras i used to be able to view thumbnail pictures of my movies.
my new computer uses .mp4 files for HD movies so now my files only show .mp4 icon instead of a thumbnail for the video.
anyways to fix this?

According to Adobe's supported-camera list, you need at least ACR 8.1, so 7.4 is too old:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
According to Adobe's Camera Raw list, Elements 11 only works up to ACR 8.0:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
So you have to buy PSE12 or use the free DNG Converter to convert the ORFs to DNGs that will then have enough information in them to open in your older Elements version. You can download the latest DNG Converter near the top of this page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
If you need an older version due to your OS being too old, then you can download older versions from the DNG Converter section further down the page but make sure you use at least DNG Converter 8.1.

Can't View or save pdf files

Since this morning I can no longer view or save files on the website where I had no probs in the past. When I try to save I get the message "The File is Not valid", so it's not surprising can't view or save. I contacted the site & they tell me all works fine. Why should the file names change such that they can no longer work with Adobe reader?   The only changes are that I received a windows update (I am running Vista Home Basic) and I installed a new printer/scanner/copier (Epson NX130). Any suggestions please?
Mozza 46

Thanks for taking the trouble to look at my problem, Michael.   I don't know to post a link to a file.
The files I want to view and save are located on the separate websites of 2 different share registries.   I used to be able to do this, but now can't.   When I try to "Save As ....." I can't because the files show up as a non-pdf file, a specific example of such a filename is: "PaymentAdvice?Paymentkey=AGKHAINTJUN12,109011151746,1,1".   I rang both of the 2 share registries who confirmed that I should not have the problem I am experiencing.
Looking at other threads, some folk have got things to work when the went back to Adobe 9 instead of 10. Any thoughts?

Please Help. I can't view thumbnails on Iphoto '08 after backing up

Hi,
Today I backed up my photos on Iphoto '08 to my external harddisk and deleted the photos on Iphoto afterwards on my macbook to save some space.
Now, having added new photos to my Iphoto library I can't view the events in thumbnails view.
I've already tried to rebuild the Iphoto '08 library with no success.
If I format my macbook will it solve the problem?
Please help me!
Many thanks

After I made a archive copy, I renamed the archiving copy "Iphoto Library old"
then I went to Iphone Library on my macbook and put that in trash.
Then I pressed the option key and opened Iphoto and created a new Iphoto Library.
Iphoto was working fine. I've imported new photos to my Iphoto, but when I go in to the Events,
I see one single photo each time, not all of the photos of all the events like before.
I add photos to my library pressing the import button after connecting my digi cam to my mac.

Where can I view my iCloud-stored files???

Hi,
I've only recently started using iCloud to store Pages and Keynote files.
I have, by now, saved about 5 files (3 pages, 2 keynote) in iCloud.
Since I can't seem to find these files anywhere in Finder, I was wondering if there's a specific folder to look for when trying to open files on iCloud.
Or do I always need to open the specific app (pages or keynote) first, and then select the file I want to open?
Also I noticed the Preview app has a "iCloud" tab. But when I click that, none of the 5 files I have stored in iCloud appear.
Is this normal? If so, what is this "iCloud" tab in Preview used for?
Hope any of you can help out!
Thanks a lot!
KR,
Maarten

Since I can't seem to find these files anywhere in Finder
They're not in the Finder, they're in iCloud.
I was wondering if there's a specific folder to look for when trying to open files on iCloud.
No, you open the documents from within the application that created them
Or do I always need to open the specific app (pages or keynote) first, and then select the file I want to open?
Yes.
Also I noticed the Preview app has a "iCloud" tab. But when I click that, none of the 5 files I have stored in iCloud appear.
They won't. Only files saved by Preview would appear in Previews iCloud tab.
If so, what is this "iCloud" tab in Preview used for?
For saving documents from Preview to iCloud.

Can't view thumbnails, files all JPEG

After installing Photoshop Album SE, every photo I have ever taken was converted to JPEG format. Now, when I go to attach photos to an email (using Yahoo), I can't see the thumbnails (just a JPEG icon). I can't see them in My Computer either.
What is going on? Can I get the old file format back? Should I uninstall the program?
Thanks.

> After installing Photoshop Album SE, every photo I have ever taken was converted to JPEG format.
Sorry. That is impossible. PSA SE does not change the format of anything. JPEG is the usual format out of digital cameras.
