CS3 Bridge: Preview image too small

Hi,
Here's what I'm using:
Photoshop CS3: 10.0.1
Bridge: 2.1.1.9
ACR: 4.6.0.30
No matter what mode I coose (lightbox, horizontal/vertical filmstrip ...), the preview image occupies a very small part of the preview pane and I find no way to resize it. The thumnail pane and the thumbnail images themselves are resizable all right.
I tried purging the cache and that didn't help.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Prabal.

Hi,
I wanted to report another experiment that possibly points out where the problem is.
Case 1:
I placed the preview and content panes one above the other. Like so (preview pane at the top):
Then I started pulling the horizontal separator between the two panes to shrink the size of the lower pane and this caused the preview image to starting to get bigger to fit the preview pane real estate space. Look at the image below (and note that the bigger image is not rendered correctly) and note that at the time of taking the screenshot, I did not yet release the horizontal separator:
Finally, just as I released the horizontal separator bar, the image in the preview pane got resized to its initial small size:
Any clue?
Thanks,
Prabal.

  • Bridge CS4 image Previews are too small

    In Bridge CS4 I cannot get the preview images to display anything larger than a large thumbnail view, see image below.  I have tried all of the Preferences in Edit menu (e.g. Thumbnail: do not process files larger than set to 10,000 MB, cache options are keep 100% previews in cache checked/automatically export cache to folders when possible checked/cache size slider is set to 50%, software render has been checked/unchecked/generate monitor size previews checked).  None of these options change anything for the size of the image preview.  I have a DX10.1 ATI Radeon HD4890 XOC 1GB, so my video card is not the issue.  I am running Windows 7 Ult x64 on ASUS P8P67 Deluxe with 16GB RAM and over 2 TB of HDD space. So my system should not be an issue either.  These are Sample artwork images that were installed with Illustrator cs4.  How do i increase the size of these images?
    Also, these images are showing everything in the ai image, not the individual images in each ai file.  How do i get it to show the individual images in each AI file like they were separate images, like Illustrator?

    Actually, you just solved both of my problems with your question.  I never thought about how the images were created/saved.
    It turns out that for some reason when i re-save the images as version CS4 of course and all options selected in dialog box now the images act correctly and resize accordingly when the separator is moved and will get quite large as they should.
    I also had to use my mouse and select each artboard/image inside the file then re-saved with same settings as above to get multiple images to show up with the buttons at bottom of image in preview mode.  Now all is good.
    These are the default installed sample artwork images.  Not sure why they were like this, may have been some kind of format/process error. Thanks a lot Curt Y.

  • CS3 Bridge Preview Soft

    Please see Case No: 172571700 for details, however, I would love to see your developers come up with an option in preferences that would allow one to choose to see larger RAW files as sharp as they really are. Right now when I load up images from my Canon 1Ds Mark II or Canon !1D Mark III, the images in the preview pane are soft and mushy even though they are sharp. The problem is that I have to shoot sometimes in order of 1,500 images a day for certain assignments, and I can't tell if my images are in focus or not without opening them up in ACR. That takes too much time. In Bridge CS2 I never had that problem. I understand that you generate the image from the preview image in the RAW file, but even if I convert to DNG with High Res preview, the good images still look soft and mushy.
    Take a look at your forum on Bridge and you will see that I am not the only one that wants a preview pane that works. I will take the hit in speed. I am sure is will be faster than opening up every image in ACR.

    Adding my voice to the chorus... I use a Canon 5D (among other cameras) and the previews in Bridge look little like what I see when I open the files in ACR or as converted TIFFs in PS CS3. Purging the caches (globally, and then often again for the individual folder) is an unnecessary manual step and there should be an option to build the preview directly from the RAW file (vs. the embedded JPEG as it appears to do now).
    Same goes for the magnified 'loupe' view in Bridge -- it's not much use as is in terms of checking for sharpness, it looks like it's just magnifying the JPEG preview (and beyond 100% as well, it would appear), so what you see are, mostly, soft pixels resulting from the bicubic smoother upscaling and color blocks from JPEG artifacting.
    Thanks,

  • Images  too small to edit

    Something just  happened here. In the past, when I open any photo in Elements 10, the image would pretty much fill the space. the bottom edge of the picture would almost reach the bottom of the workspace...whether vertical or horizontal format. Then I would create a duplicate and hit either ctrl + 0 (zero) and the duplicate would be a nice large size. ( Double clicking on the little hand in the tool bar would also do the same trick).
    Now , for some reason, the picture opens to maybe 60% of that size. It's way too small to work on comfortably. The duplicate is even smaller.  When I hit the ctrl + 0 ...nothing happens size remains the same. If I pull on lower right hand corner to enlarge...it only enlarges the ruler and frame. Picture itself remains same small size. How can I get that back? I tried a system restore. that did not work. Thank you.

    Hi Barbara,
    Thank you for your response.
    I don't use the Organizer. Never have. I have my own system which I've been using for over 10 years and thousands of pictures...first with Photoshop 6; later with PSE 7 on  earlier computers and now with PSE 10 since June 2012.  Its always been fine beforehand. And I have only had problems with 10 on this. Its happened before but I think last time it was under warranty and on screen dialog Support Team helped me get it back.
    This is how I work.....
    Whenever I save my photographs, I create a (new)  file on the desktop.  then I will download all the images from that project  from the SD card into the file ( example...Quebec...or Dilapidated Houses; or Antique Car Show 5/2013;  etc etc.) OK then when I want to edit a picture.... I open that particular one in PSE. Then I immediately make a duplicate. OK Here is where the problem now occurs. Prior to today, after I have the duplicate on the screen.....I would just hit ctrl + 0 (zero)  and the picture enlarged to a nice size. Very easy to see and work with. (One can also double click on the little hand in the tool bar for the same effect). But something happened here and when I now do that...the image does NOT enlarge. It actually creates a smaller duplicate.  Which makes it VERY hard to edit when its so small.
    Please refer to the page  attached to this email file. These should help to show what my problem is here.
    How do I get back the function where ctrl + 0 (zero) or double clicking on the toolbar hand gives me a nice full image?
    Thank you.

  • E55 Incoming MMS Images Too Small

    I have a E55 bought as sim free but on O2 - a brilliant phone.  All my incoming MMS message images are very small thumbnail size, too small to be of use.  It's not a settings issue with the sender.  I have researched this problem all over the internet and it's not clear if it's a phone set up problem (I've checked out all settings which seem ok) or if O2 network cannot recognise the phone (they don't sell it) so send images small as their default.  I've had this problem previously on other sim free phones on O2.
    Surely there must be a solution as it appears to be very common? O2 customer support cannot help, as you might expect.  Anyone any idea?
    On a separate note, is there any good S60 software around to tweak the phone under the surface, like there is for windows mobile phones? Is it possible to edit system configuration files and, if so, how and where are they? 
    Thanks

    have you checked your mms settings and looked at image size
    go to menu/messages /options/settings/multimedia/image size
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Opening Bridge preview images in Photoshop CS4

    When I click on Open to open an image previewed in Bridge, the image opens in Paint. I try to click on Open With and am given a menu of Paint (default), BullGuard (my antivirus)FS resizer and Explorer, with no means of changing those. What can I do to change this so as to open in Photoshop?

    Thanks for that Curt. However, the method in the link does not work for me, but I found an answer for myself: for any others with this problem, do the following:
    Bridge > preferences > file type associations > jpeg > click on arrowhead > browse > select CS4

  • Having trouble with image size on new HP2311x display with 4 year old MacBook. Image too small. Do I have to stay in mirror mode? I have messed with OSD and Image Control menus on display and have gotten nowhere. Help?

How can I get it to fill screen? If not in mirror mode, the display looks good, only I can't get the top menu bar (tried to drag it) nor the rest of the desktop. Help?

  • CS3 - Pages Panel - Thumbnails Too Small

    On the pages panel, I have the thumbs set to extra large. But they are still too small. Is there any way at all to make the thumbs in the pages panel larger than extra large setting?
    Thank You

    If they are too small you might want to consider using the Navigator panel.

  • Cs3 bridge preview ghost windows

    I am running CS3 on a Gateway P7805-u w/ Intel Core Duo 2 CPU 2.26/2.27 ghz processor, 4.0 ram and 64 bit os machine using  Windows Vista. I am unable to use Bridge because the preview windows seem to duplicate themselves and I end up with what looks like multiple window (do they call them ghost windows?) of a preview open at once. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, updating my NVidia9800 1GB graphics card and updating CS3. The program ran fine when I first started using it on this machine. It works fine on my desktop computer running XP.
    I really like Bridge and would like to upgrade to CS4, but not if I can't run it on this machine. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Simple workarounds. This is a problem with the graphics card not being up to the task.  You will also have problems with the slide mode.
    A simple way to get aroiund this is to click on restore down in upper right corner.  You can expand window to max with arrows.  If you run in max mode you will get problem you describe.
    Go to advanced preferences in Bridge and click on "use software rendering".  Seems to work OK in this mode, so not necessary to replace video card for this this problem.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    p.s.  There are a lot of problems with Nvidia 195 series drivers with Bridge and PS.

  • Keynote Send to iPhoto creates images too small for iBooks

    I like using iBooks, but the layout flexibility is too constraining for what I do. I like to do my layouts in Keynote (because I get freedom of layout, cool themes, and I can them use the Keynote as a presentation) then I send to iPhoto. In the past, this has worked fine and the resolution has been suitable. Now (perhaps with 08) the resolution is about half what it used to be, too low for a good print job. While images used to be on the order of 1.8MB each, now they are 325k to 500k. I'm sure if I order such an iBook, my client will not be pleased with fuzzy text and photos.
    I have tried pdf to iPhoto, same results. I've tried export to desktop, same results. I've selected jpeg (highest quality), same results.

    Hi Larry,
    Thank you for your reply. I apologize for not adding more details. The photo I originally sent as a "large" file was 414 KB. When I switch to "actual" it is 2.3MB which I am assuming will work for the publication. I am only sending one photo at a time – one for each article. Thank you again. I expect the photo editor will let me know tomorrow if they have what they need. Fingers crossed.
    By the way, in addition to iPhoto I also have Lightroom but have not had a chance to learn the basics of using it. As of now my entire library is in iPhoto and Picasa.
    Thank you again for your time,
    Lynn

  • Printer prints images too small

    Whenever i try and print an image, or even a text selection, the printer prints out the image or selection in a small form. (only takes up a little of a corner of the top left of the page.) Im not sure of how to adjust the setting to make it where images or webpages will print and fill the entire page of white paper.

    I probably should have mentioned its an HP D110 touchsmart lol

  • Bridge Preview Images not showing changes made in ACR

    Suddenly my raw (Nef) files in Bridge are not reflecting the changes I make to them. In other words after downloading from my CF card, I work on raw files in ACR either one at a time or sometimes applying changes across several pictures. The changed files show up in Bridge briefly and then revert back to the unchanged looking raw. All changes actually exist because if I open the file in ACR or PS they appear just fine. In Bridge however, no changes including cropping, etc. show up. When I open Bridge the files are fine for a moment and then they revert to the uncorrected raws. I can also go to View and hit "refresh" and they will all show the proper changes for an instant and then revert to the original state again.
    I've tried resetting preferences, purging and rebuilding cache, deleting temp files, removing and re-doing xmp files, expanding cache size and all the various rendering options in Prefs. Nothing works.
    I cannot use the Bridge Light box or Preview function to compare photos because the corrections I made aren't there to be seen. The only way to see them is to open each file one at a time in ACR. This problem has forced my workflow to a crawl as I have to edit one pic at a time without being able to compare two together. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi All:
    I had similar problems plus constant crashes that made Bridge unusable.
    It drove me to try alternatives to bridge and to try Lightroom. I like
    Lightroom better than bridge but it has an operational limit that leads me
    to be reluctant switch. But here is the rub, now Bridge is working
    perfectly! What I think fixed Bridge is running a disk/registry cleaner
    called Ccleaner multiple times. I ran it almost every day for a week. It
    found lots of stuff in my registry that it didnt like but as time went by
    it found less and less. It also let me turn on or off services that run at
    startup. I shut off anything that I could see that I didnt need, like
    Adobe downloader; I dont need automatic downloading, as I can do it
    myself. The result is at some point Bridge started to work again. It has
    stayed working for more than 2 weeks now without one crash. I dont know
    what was fixed that did the trick but so far Im happy. Ccleaner is a
    free program and can be found at http://www.ccleaner.com/. Its a live
    program as there have been several updates since I started using it. Try
    it; I think it worked for me.
    John Passaneau
    PS
    After Bridge started to work again, I had to purge the cache and rebuild
    it. I use cache distributed to folders as I keep my photos on a network
    attached drive and access them from 2 computers and a local cache will not
    work for me.

  • CS3 Bridge - Batch Image Resize

    i am new to using Bridge. I need to Batch resize images for my daughters yearbook. I need to resize pictures that are 36" x 27" and resolution of 72 dpi and change them to about 2" high but keep a high resolution (300 dpi) for printing. I tried to batch change them but they stayed at 72 dpi and became fuzzy.
    Can you give me a tip to complete this process.
    Thanks you

  • Win7 Taskbar tab previews way too small

    Is there anyway to incease the size of the Win7 Taskbar tab previews? They're so small its nearly impossible to make out what page I'm trying to load.
    Thanks!

    There are a couple of add-ons that can assist with this, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint].

  • Thumbnail Images Too Small

    I'm having a very big problem with my new iMac. The problem is the size of the thumbnails when opening a photo from an external program or uploading to a website. This is not a problem when browsing photos with the Finder. In the Finder, I see the little slider in the bottom right hand corner that makes it so you can enlarge. It is only the window that opens when you choose "open" from a program like Photoshop or by choosing "select photos" from a website like Facebook. The window that appears with the thumbnails of your pictures does not have the same slider that is present in the Finder to make the photos larger. I have tried changing the view to Cover Flow and at that point I can make my thumbnails about as big as I want, BUT, then I cannot view additional photos upon multiple selecting them.
    Is there anything that can be done about this at all. I use the larger thumbnails for nearly everything I do on my computer and it is almost grounds for divorce for me and my new iMac...I still love my iMac and don't want our relationship to end over this...hehehe...

    I don't know a way to increase that thumbnail size, but you can hit the space-bar while highlighting a thumbnail to see the image large-size (and then space again to zoom back out). While zoomed in, you can use the arrow keys to navigate around the file list. This works slightly differently when looking at images in Finder folders vs. images in your Media (Photo) library - in the former, a real "Quick Look" window appears in front of the file browser; in the latter, the image expands to fill the file browsing window.
