Cant view PSD files !

I cant view PSD files I just get a blue icon, I also cant see the pic larger of course in preview. Is this normal!!! I have no trouble viewing PSD files in other graphic viewers not made by Adobe!! I can even view them in my explorer program (total commander). Surely you must be able to view PSD files in a program made by adobe or what is the point in using Bridge?!!!
I should say I am using Bridge CS5 and the psd file was made with photoshop CS5
OOOPS It was my fault the size limti I had set was too low, I increased this and now its fine.

The XMP thumbnail is probably what is getting used in this case. Even for images saved without Maximize Compatibility, the Ardfry PSD Codec can use the image in the XMP for the thumbnail if it's present. Recent versions of Photoshop allow you to choose whether to save a thumbnail image independently of whether or not Maximize Compatibility is set.
However, larger thumbnails and viewing a large image in the preview pane (as well as Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media Center) are dependent on having the flattened image available. The same behavior is found with Preview on the Mac.
If any bit of your workflow is non-Adobe, then setting Maximize Compatibility is probably a good idea.

View PSD files in windows explorer

Is there a way to view PSD files in windows explorer?

I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package its low cost and generated thumbnails for Raw and PSD files for Windows File explorer.

Why Can I No Longer View .PSD Files In Windows?

Recently, I installed PS CS3 10.0 Extended on my PC. It replaced PS CS3 10.0.1 Extended, a version which was not mine. Before the change, I was able to 'view' the .PSD files in Windows. Now, all I am able to view is the icon.
I addressed this in the Microsoft forums, to no avail, as of yet.
Is this an issue with Windows or, perhaps, a setting in PS? I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Su Hall

Su,
The display of PSD's in Windows is related to the psicon.dll (think that is the correct name). It was included for years in PS, but was discontinued, due to troubles at about the time of XP. At one time, the user could get a copy of that .dll, and install it, however at a point in the past, that trick stopped working for most users. Not sure why you had the Thumbnails for a while, but not now. My guess is that the .dll was removed, or corrupted.
I just use other utilities, like Bridge, and ThumbsPlus, and seldom have my View Option set to Thumbnails in Windows.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what OS are you on?

Cannot view .psd files in Preview since upgrading to Leopard

Last week I upgraded my iBook G4 to Leopard 10.5.6. I've noticed that since the upgrade, I can no longer view any .psd files in Preview. I could do this with Tiger, but in Leopard all I get is a question mark symbol instead of an image.
I deleted the plist, but that didn't work.
Any suggestions? When I need to print something out quickly, Preview loads much more quickly than Photoshop CS 2.

I ended up solving the problem by using Graphic Converter to open the files and then using 'Save As' in the exact same format. Once I did that, the files opened up as normal again.
Still not sure why it happened in the first place, but I'm glad that things worked out.

View PSD files as thumbnails

My PSD files used to be visible as thumbnails now they are shown just as PSD files with no preview pic. I have searched the older topics and couldnt find an answer. I am using CS2 with Vista Ultimate 64bit. Thanks in advance.

Copy text between dashed lines to notepad and save as Install.reg
Right click on the resulting file and choose Merge.
You MUST have the psicon.dll present on your system and in the proper location (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell\)

I cant recover psd file

i was working on a photoshop file when it began lagging. i saved the file, then shut down my computer. once i turned my computer back on i opened up the photoshop file i had been working on. And i saw this:
i know that "A large file may take some time to completely "Save" and the progress of the save is in percentage is shown until the save is completed. If you truncate the save, the file gets corrupted." And i wait until the save is completed and shut down my computer.
i check that folder ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/AutoRecover......it was empty.
And use some programms like "photoshop recover" but my file still corrupted.
File size still 176mb. Work in Photoshop sc6
Please help me!

There is a Help page
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/file-recovery-photoshop.html
But we get asked this now and again, and while there are apps out there that claim to recover corrupted PSD files, I can't think of a single occasion when anyone has successfully recovered their lost work.
For what it's worth, as a direct result of reading these horror stories, most forum regulars now save large projects with different file names every half hour or so (as well as Ctrl s every 10 minutes)

Adobe Assets: Option to disable "tranform: scale()" CSS3 rules when viewing PSD files?

Although right now I nolonger see the CSS3 rule being shown on any element, but the font sizes seem to rely that the scale rule is still there.
From what I understand the "transform: scale" is used to get a size closer to how it is viewed in Photoshop. But I haven't noticed any difference when I grab the offered CSS rules or if I calculate the font size by multiplying the two.
Why can't we just get the font size in pixels like they are set in Photoshop? They have always seemed correct and precise to me.

Hi,
`transform: scale()` should only appear on text that has been scaled in Photoshop. Here are two examples:
in http://adobe.ly/1DmLCGj the text has no transform, and so no transform CSS is emitted
in http://adobe.ly/1Estf4k each layer has a different transform, and it is shown in the CSS
If you think the scale is being added to the CSS incorrectly, would it be possible for you to share your PSD with us, so that we can investigate?

Cant view flash file in IE

Hi
i have a webpage created at http://www.beaufieldmews.com/draft1.html and i can see the scrolling text on the right but someelse has viewed it and they cannot see the scrolling text does anyone know why.
Thanks

I am able to see the scrolling text in the latest releases of IE and FF. The embedding code for the page looks okay at a glance. It may be something relative to that person's machine/browser.

UNABLE TO VIEW ANY FILES IN TRASH, AND UNABLE TO DELETE THEM.

Hi i wondered if someone can help ,me on this one as i have searched for an answer and nothing works.
I have upgraded to my new iMac and migrated all my files over, i have now deleted some of the unwanted files and folders, to free up space.
HOWEVER - i have tried deleting them and cant, so as some of them are locked i went back into the trash to unlock them and even though there are thousands of files in the trash none of them are viewable, so i cant drag them back out, drag them to the terminal window or anything.
I have repaired privileges
I have tried to use the terminal window and delete files, but cant view them to drag them
I have tried to secure deleted them
My problem is i cant view the files so i cant do anything with them.
Does any one have any ideas,
should i try to delete the .trash file as i think someone mentioned in which case how do i do that.
Any help would be fantastic. Thank you in advance
Kris Watson

I have managed to resolve this problem (however it is still deleting the files so fingers are crossed still.) Thanks for the help by the way.
A friend showed me a way to do it, thought ide put it out there so people might benefit from it.
I restarted with the shift key pressed down. after about 4-5 mins it starts in Safe Boot mode, ive logged in, and started to secure delete the files and it seems as though it is working although very slowly as there are thousands of files.
The reason the are so many files is that they are all 'old' time machine back ups from my old powerbook. Me being the extra cautious bunny that i am have several copies of every file anyway 'just in case', so it will take house but it will free up huge amounts of space.
thanks again

Viewing PSD thumbnails in a directory

I'm using Photoshop CS 4. When viewing PSD file thumbnails ina directory I cannopt see the actual image - just a PSD label. Is this functioning correctly? Why can't I see a PSD thumbnail in Photoshop?

Adobe stopped shipping the dlls that showed PSD thumbnails in the CS3 time frame. IMO the best solution is to buy and install FastPictureViewer codec. Not onle will you get thumbnails for PSD files you will also get thumbnails for many RAW image formats.
If you also have or had CS2 installed you may still have the two DLL on you machine aiicon.dll and psicon.dll they would be in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell". If they are there you need to also have some registry entries tor them.

What's best Android app for viewing PSDs?

Other than the Adobe photoshop apps what is the best Android App for viewing .psd files? All the Adobe ones lock you into using the Creative Cloud which I don't want to use as I have my files on Google Drive.

Try Docs Viewer.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.
