CS3 Bridge not showing thumbnails

I've got adobe cs3, all updates applied with a nikon d3 using their latest software. Adobe Bridge will not show the thumbnail of the picture when picture taken. (camera attached to PC). All I see is the filename.NEF. If I take a few pictures, close Bridge and reopen it, thumbnails display. I've tried clearing cache etc...but no luck. What can I do to make sure that the thumbnails display when I take a picture.
ideas???? Thanks.

If I read this correctly you are trying to use Bridge as a real time viewer of what is on camera. Not sure it works this way. The best results are to download pictures to Bridge using a card reader. Make sure you have v. 4.6 ACR installed in correct folder if you have trouble viewing NEF files.

Cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw file

Just upgraded to CS6
cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw files.
Can see thumbnails in CS5.1 bridge and LR 4.2 which fortunately i did not uninstall.
Bummer since I am up against a hard deadline.
Really Sucks

We can't know. You are not offering any system information or e.g. info about what image files you are working with. Since they do show up in your otehr programs, my assumption would be that you need to switch the Camera Raw engine back to the 2009/2010 version in Photoshop and not use the default new 2012 one. Perhaps your thumbnails will appear then....

DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

Hi,
When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer. I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown. It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC. Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem. I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem. I tried this and indeed it did fix it. The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)". This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be. Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
And, my thrid question is this. If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
Thanks -- Dan

Hi David,
You testing does not coincide with mine. I have consistently kept "Use
lossy compression" turned off. With lossy turned off, it seems that using
Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
"Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
spec containing "Fast Data Load".

Need help Aperture 3 does not show thumbnails

Hello, after installing the Aperture 3, I found does not show thumbnails, tried to do everything he could, but nothing helped. Can anyone encountered this problem?

I've been having what seems to be permission related problems with previews. When you see no thumbnails, highlight all the images, right click on them and "delete previews", then "rebuild previews".
See if that fixes it.

Photoshop Element 8's Bridge not showing RAW thumbnails

Hello!
I use PSE 8 on a Mac with Snow Leopard. I'm shooting with a Canon EOS 550D.
Bridge used to display RAW thumbnails correctly, but it doesn't anymore. Just blank generic icons.
Now, I've reinstalled Camera Raw 6.1 (the Photoshop Elements Version), I've purged the cache (both globally from the preferences and locally from the Tools menu) in Bridge, but nothing has changed.
Thanks for the help,
Daniele

Thanks for that help. I had installed 6.1. It worked with my T2i Canon but didn't show thumbnails (except as generic icons) In looking at ADOBE help for PSE you get the idea that 6.1 is needed. Deleted 6.1 and downloaded 5.7 and now thumbnail photos work.

Do you mean it is solved now or is the problem existing?
And what version of Bridge and PS are you using on what OSX version?

Filter Panel in Bridge not showing all the categories

I am using Bridge CS5 and I download my photos to my laptop using Canon's EOS Utility program. In the Filter Panel on the left I get only a few catogories for some folders where for other folders I get the total of the categories. When I do click on a folder, then while it is collecting all the photos you can see all the categories for a few seconds but then it ends with sometimes just 3 categories. I am using Windows 7 on a 64bit laptop. All the categories in the dropdown box are also marked but still they do not show all in the panel.
What I now saw was if I go to the thumbnails in the Content Panel and I just click on a thumbnail and move it around and back again then a small 600byte ".bridgesort" icon appears and then all the categories show in the Filter Panel for that folder. Anybody knows what is going on? Thanx

In the Filter Panel on the left I get only a few catogories for some folders where for other folders I get the total of the categories.
The filter panel reflects the data of the content panel and while it seems this panel has a mind of its own it only shows categories if there is a choice in a category to filter. For instance having landscape and portrait files in the folder orientation shows landscape and portrait, if you want only landscape this is an option to use this filter for showing only landscape in the content panel. When you have only landscape in the folder there is nothing you can filter because everything is the same and therefor it shows no option for it.
What I now saw was if I go to the thumbnails in the Content Panel and I just click on a thumbnail and move it around and back again then a small 600byte ".bridgesort" icon appears and then all the categories show in the Filter Panel for that folder. Anybody knows what is going on?
You obviously have used the menu View / show hidden files activated. What you see is a small file that contains data for the sort order you have used. The moment you move one file to a new position the sort order changes to manual.
If you deselect the option to show hidden files you won't see this file also.

Bridge Not Showing Changes made in Camera Raw

Hi I work on an iMac (Mac OS X, version 10.4.11), and am currently trialing CS4. My problem is that I have been processing Canon Raw files in Camera Raw, but when I view the images in the preview pane of Bridge, it is not showing the changes that I have made.
This is just a sudden problem. I have been working like this for ages in CS3, and it was even working properly in this trial version of CS4, but literally all of a sudden in the middle of processing a wedding shoot it stopped showing the changes. So half the images now show the changes but the rest do not, and it no longer shows any of the changes I make in Camera Raw
Does anyone have any answers to why this suddenly changed?
Cheers Da ni

"Sudden" is usually a sign to trash your suddenly corrupted preferences. Hold down the option key as you launch Bridge.
You may also need to Purge the Cache for each offending folder through the Tools Menu in Bridge.
Also check your thubmnail options:

16bit Tiff & PSD previews in Bridge not showing correctly

Large multi layered Tiff, PSD and PSB files which have alpha channels, masks and layers, etc. do not show appropriate previews in Bridge (nor Windows for that matter). Many of these are very large 2-4GB, but even a typical 30-60MB file with certain alpha channels and masks are also problematic with previews. I believe the problem appears mostly when the base images ar 16bit since the 8bit version exhibit properly most of the time.
Is this an issue which has a remedy?
Thanks,
Doug A
Photoshop CS5, Windows 7, 64bit.

As Jeff said, this should fix the very large files, but I would recommend to post in the Bridge forum, or on http://feedback.photoshop.com if you still have trouble with 30 -60 Mb files.

RAW files from my Canon 7D Mark II camera do not show thumbnails when stored on my iMac computer even though I have Photoshop CC 14.2 and Camera RAW 8.7

How do i resolve this problem? TIFF files show the thumbnails just fine, just not the RAW files. My old Canon 7D was fine with RAW files showing thumbnails also.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
They show here in photoshop 14.2.1 in the open dialog as well as in finder on mac os x 10.10
I believe the operating system provides the thumbnails and not photoshop.

Round trip to PS CS3 does not show the saved image in Aperture 2.1.1

Good evening everyone; I hope someone can help me to solve this.
I have PS CS3 set as my external photo processing app (exports are PSD 16-bit 300 dpi) in Aperture 2.1.1. When I process the picture in CS3 and then save it(mind you I only SAVE, I do not do SAVE AS) as PSD (or TIFF) Aperture only shows me the original file in preview with the little circle informing me about the round trip to CS3. So the processed file does not show. Instead I only see two identical versions of the same photo.( I mean, I see the master and the version with the little circle).
If I save the work in PS CS3 as jpeg and then import into Aperture, it shows fine. When trying to import the processed and saved PSD and TIFF files, Aperture only shows the original file.
If it helps, I am working on layered pictures (HDR) where I use different parts of different pictures to get wide dynamic range. I export 3 or so photos from Aperture at once to CS3, process them into one, flatten the picture and save it.
And then Aperture just shows me the original file as version.
I have done this before 2.1.1 and it worked. Not sure if I have changed anything that might be causing this.
Thank you for your ideas.

I am sure it is not stacked under the original, unfortunately. Any other tips?
Also, as I mentioned earlier, even if I save the processed file in CS3 as PSD (so I use SAVE AS) and then try to import it into Aperture, it "magically" only shows the orginal (as if it was just importing some layer).

Elements 5 - Organizer will not show thumbnails

Recently moved Elements 5 to my new laptop - On the laptop the organizer will not show photos in any view other than single picture. Anything smaller shows the hour glass [also shows on the collections icons]. I deleated the first catalog transfer and have been only using new photos transfered from my D-50. It will run full screen shows just nothing smaller that a single picture view. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Elements software.
I have unchecked the filer checker.
Systems is a Vista home premium 64 bit, 4 gig of ram, Lenovo ideapad laptop 5800T processor. Version 5.0.2
Any ideas?
Alan

I can't be sure this is the problem, but ...
Is this the first time you have opened PSE5 on this computer? If so, it truly is generating the thumbnails. Your statement about how in single image mode the thumbnail appears is a symptom of this phase of the operation. Just let it run. It will finish, and the problem will be gone.

CS4 Bridge not showing all files

I'm working on a 1TB drive in a directory with about 1000 dng files. When use Bridge not all files are shown and there are no filters selected. I go into the directory using Windows Explorer and they are indeed there. I can select the file in Windows Explorer and open it in Photoshop without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Strange, when I set the option to show reject and hidden files nothing changed. When I set the show items from subfolders all the images appeared. The strange part is that they are all in the same directory. At least it works now. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Windows 7/CS3 Portions not showing up in Start but in x86

As I've installed CS3 Design Premium on my new Windows 7 system, Photoshop and InDesign do not show up on the start menu, however, they can be found in the Program Files (x86) folder with the rest of the program. Photoshop can be started from there, but the text engine (and no telling what all else) isn't initializing. InDesign cannot be startedby clicking the exe file. I just get a message that CS3 has stopped working when I try.
I've tried support to no avail.
Can anyone please help? I know it's the holidays... Please.
Many thanks.
Anne

Christopher,
I can't think offhand of why it would not come back like this (but if you have configured ZPM to use content-repo to store its bundles I would recommend getting http://download.novell.com/Download?...d=f0VuQBxq8DI~ as that fixes problems where a patch isn't cached, even though it thinks it is). Does the patch status tab show any errors? Otherwise we're basically going to need to look at logs...

Preview app not showing thumbnails view scrambled

Hi,
since i updated to maverick last week i got an issue with the Mac Preview app, it opens the documents ok, but when opening several files at the time, the thumbnails are all scrambled and not showing the miniature of the selected file.
if i click on the thmbnails area and navigate with the keyboard's arrows it allows me to go through the open files, all files open ok but the thumbnails is the only part that is having this issue.
i have deleted the com.apple.Preview from ~\Library\Containers but still having the issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
