CS5 Can't see thumbnails of .PSD's in windows

I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 and upgraded to CS5. In previous versions of PhootShop I was able to see thumbnails of .psd files in windows. Now all I get is a PhotoShop icon. Does anyone know if there's a setting that can be changed to generate thumbnails? Help woud be greatly appreciated.

There are no "unsupported registry hacks" that actually work with Windows 7 x64 as far as I know.  People often post misinformation because they don't really understand the limitations and they extrapolate that things that work for one build of Windows will work for another.  And up through Vista x64 it was possible to run the 32 bit Explorer, but that's been closed off in Windows 7 x64.  Now a codec MUST be a 64 bit build.
I have been using the first package John noted above (FastPictureViewer codec pack) for quite some time, and I like it.  Notably it provides raw file thumbnails as well as PSD thumbnails.

    I've always been able to see them in previous versions. Anyone?

  • How can I see thumbnail pictures for Videos like I can see for Jpegs

    How can I see thumbnail pictures for videos like I can see for Jpegs in Elements organizer.

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

  • CS5 Can't See Filters

    I just had to reinstall Photoshop CS5. Now I can't load (old) Kodak filters.
    CS5 sees the Kodak folder, but the filters don't show up in the list.
    The filters are:
    1. DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In 2.1
    2. DIGITAL ROC Professional Plug-In 2.1
    They are 32 bit filters, so I am loading them to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\
    I've tried installing them directly to the above folder.
    I've tried installing them to where Kodak wants to put them and then moving them to the above folder.
    I've tried installing them to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters
    instead of \Plug-ins\Kodak, still no joy.
    Each time I restart CS5 (32), it sees the Kodak folder but not the .8bf files.
    I even reloaded the originals from Kodak. CS5 doesn't see the filters.
    Thanks,
    Drew

    The significant file from the
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In 2.1
    folder is DigitalAIRProV2.8BF. It is neither Read-only nor Hidden.
    The same is true for the significant file in the other problem folder.
    I'm not sure what I'm looking for in
    C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Plugins
    The folders contained therein have nothing to do with user installed filters.
    I can manually add
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\
    as an Additional Plug-Ins Folder. That makes no difference. (It shouldn't be necessary because the root:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins
    is the default.)
    The NoiseNinja plug-in located in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\NoiseNinjaPlugin_Win32
    works just fine.
    So, why not the Kodak filters?

  • Photoshop CS5 - Can't see anchors or path outlines.  If I zoom in or out, they appear.

    Hi,
    Since installing CS5 on my PC, I've been having a SUPER annoying issue.
    When I do a free transform, draw with the bezier pen tool or anything where you want to see anchors & path outlines, they are invisible.  They are in fact present b/c:
    if my mouse hovesr over an anchor point (by chance or my estimating where the anchor points are) the mouse tip changes
    if I zoom in or out, then everything shows up (anchor points & lines)
    Right after I zoom in or out, if I then make a change to an anchor point (drag it or pull it's handles) those changes don't happen live.  As in, I can't see/preview what I'm doing/moving.  I have to do it, let go, & then zoom in (or out) just to see the current state of anchors/paths.
    It's totally unworkable & I don't know how to resolve.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
    I'm hoping it's some little setting that I'm just oblivious to...
    THANKS!!

    They should stay visible.  They do normally.  You know that with one of the pen tools selected you can ctrl-click on a path to make the anchors visible, right?
    But they should stay visible during a zoom operation.
    It's possible your video driver isn't implementing OpenGL properly.  First thing to do is try temporarily disabling OpenGL to see if the problem clears up.  Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance to do this.
    Even if this doesn't correct the issue, it's almost always a good idea to visit the web site of the manufacturer of your video card and see if they've released newer video drivers for your card and version of Windows.
    Best of luck.

  • I can't see thumbnails!

    All my photos are still there, but each photo takes up the whole screen, and the only way to view them is to scroll up and down. When I go to view, the option "Hide thumbnails" is not highlighted and available for selection. I have never had this problem before. How can I see them by thumbnail again? My big problem is I can't select a block of photos for export.
    Yesterday it was working, today it is not.

    Don't feel bad. You aren't the first person to miss the slider. Give yourself a green star for figuring it out.
    Have a nice day.

  • 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?

  • Can't see files/folders on server from windows

    i'm not sure if this is related to the ACL issue (not being properly honored in Samba on Leopard), but i'll explain my problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
    i've set up file sharing with my server on several Macs and a couple of PCs without a problem, but on one PC, when i connect to the server, i can't see any folders at all on the server in the Explorer window. i also can't move files to the server as it tells me i don't have permissions. i am certain this is set up the same as the other PCs and ensured that the Windows user has file sharing enabled on my server.
    please note that i'm fairly new to setting up a server so not too much jargon please!
    cheers

    The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
    Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

  • When I open up firefox, I can only see the top toolbar. No window/webpage appears. WHat is wrong?

    When I open firefox, I can only see the top toolbar, including the tabs. The webpage and window below are gone. All I see is the top toolbar, tabs and my background... HELP!

    Did you also try to delete the localstore.rdf file in the profile folder?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf
    Try to reinstall Firefox.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Can't open raw images in CS2 after install, can't see thumbnails in Bridge

    I hope you guys can help.
    We just purchased an Acer laptop computer, picked it up yesterday. Hubby is going to use this strictly for working on his pictures when out of town. He didn't even plan to hook it up to the internet. It has Windows Vista Home Premium, 2G of RAM, 120G of hard drive and a CD/DVD player/recorder. I installed Photoshop CS2, Nik Sharpener, Neatimage noise remover and Huey Pro Calibrater onto the computer last night.
    When I opened Photoshop & Bridge, opened a DVD of some RAW images, Bridge would not show the thumbnails and I couldn't open any in Photoshop. In Bridge all that showed was a light blue box with CR2 over it and the file name below for each image. When I tried to open one I got a "Can not complete process due to a program error" message. I did open a jpeg image into Photoshop from the ones included in my documents and had no trouble with that. I didn't acutally try to do anything with it so I'm not sure that any of the options in Photoshop actually work, although they were all active with the jpeg image.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to correct these two problems?
    Thanks for any help I can get, Linda

    Thanks John,
    I actually went into Photoshop and ran the update. This gave me the current Camera Raw file 3.7 and an update for Bridge. I downloaded it and it is installed in Photoshop. This gave me thumbnails for the images taken on our Canon Rebel XTI, but not the Canon 30D. I went to the Camera Raw Update page on adobe.com. Found the 30D back in update 3.4. Shouldn't the latest update have all the previous updates included. As I understand the instructions, you are just supposed to replace the older version of Camera Raw with the newer. Will I have to install each update in order to get the support for my camera?
    This leads me to another question, I downloaded the 3.4 and was following the instructions for installing it. It says to go to My Computer, open C, or disk with files installed, then navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS-2\File Formats. My computer wasn't exactly like this, but I did get to the plug-in for Photoshop CS-2. After getting there, move existing Camera Raw.8bi to another location. Copy the Camera Raw Plug-in from the download into the same folder. See why is seems that the current version should have all previous updates?
    Anyway, got to the Plug-in file and there is no Camera Raw file in it. I went through all the files in Adobe Program Files that looked like it might have it in it; bridge, ImageReady, and shared files. No Camera Raw to be found. I did open Photoshop up and double checked that it was showing up in the Plug-in list. Yep, it was there. Why can't I find it in the Program Files?
    Sorry this is so long, I wanted to check everything I could before replying. Sure hope I can get this straightened out. Linda

  • Can't see Thumbnails in the Organizer

    I recently bought a new HP computer. It has Win 7 64 bit installed and is a strong enough system to handle PSE (4 Gig ram, dedicated graphics card.....) I had PSE import my photos automatically. I am new to PSE and think I did it right. The problem is that I cannot see the thumbnails in the window. It only shows an hourglass icon. If I drag the bar down to see the older or newer photos, I can see the thumbnails but then they immediately turn to the hourglass icon. I cannot seem to figure this out to get it to show them. Any help?

    Perhaps the thumbnail cache is corrupt; try recreating it with steps 3 and 5 of this FAQ:

  • Can't see Thumbnail or open MPEG-2 videos with QT

    Hello, I am new to MAC and not really a computer expert. I have transfered all my video mpg2 files on my new MAC (from a Sony DCR-SR85 which has a hard drive / i transfered the file to my computer as if it was an external drive). Thumbnails do not appear and i can't open with QT (no codec). I can open with VLC, but to check the file, rotate them, etc... i would like to see the thumbnails (so no need to open them 1 by 1). I looked at a few forums and responses seem very technical so i could not figure out what to do; i still have checked that:
    - I have OS 10.7.5 so reading MPG-2 should be possible ?
    - i have found in system / library / QT file (after struggling to find how to get there...) that i have indeed a file Apple MPG2 Codec component
    - i have also read it might be the Sony files are not exactly MPEG2 ?
    My main aim is to locate the Video which need to rotated, so i can do the same with Image Browser from my Canon Camera.
    Is there is an easy fix, that would be great. I there is a specific Software which could help, i may get it.
    Thanks for your help.
    As it is the first time i try to post sth on internet, i am not even sure how i will see respone if any, but that will be the second step.
    Cheers
    Serge

    Hello QuickTimeKirk, thanks for taking the time to reply to my query. I have just opened up one of the few video i can open with QT (.Avi) and i could check that the version of Quick Time i have is indeed 10.1, so it does not seem to be the issue. Opening of the files is not my worst concern, although it would be great to be able to open them. What bugs me is the fact that if i look in a certain subdirectory with a set of videos coming either from my Canon Ixus or from my wife Canon Ixus or from my Sony Camcorder (.AVI, .MOV or .Mpeg), either in Finder, Image Browser, or even Adobe Premiere, i can't even see the thumbnail of the mpeg2 file, so it is dificult to sort out. Any ideas ? Cheers. Serge

  • ExtendScript Toolkit CS5: Can't see Indesign CS5 in the application list?

    Windows 7
    Hi
    I start Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5. There is a list with the installed and supported Adobe applications, but I miss Indesign CS5 in this list. E.g. I can see Indesign CS5.5, Indesign Server CS5 and a few other applications, but not Indesign CS5. On another PC I can see all applications.
    What is wrong?
    Why is this application missing?
    What can I do?
    I have installed a few Adobe applications, e.g. Indesign, Indesign Server and InCopy (CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5 of all applications (debug and release)).
    Thanks for the help.
    Hans

    Hello, Hans!
    Sorry, that might not be helpful at all, but:
    be sure that your version of ESTK is 3.5.1
    or try ESTK for CS5.5. There you could have access to InDesign CS5 as well.
    It's a bit strange…
    In my case right now I have access to InDesign CS5 AND InDesign CS5.5 in ESTK 3.5.1.
    I have installed CS Design Premium for CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
