Displaying PSD's in bridge

Why is it that some PSD files won't display a visible thumbnail in Bridge?
I increased the file size preference to 350megs and some 200+meg files still won't display as thumbnails. I have Bridge 2.1.1.9. Is there a more recent version?
Don

Tried Curt Young's suggestion:
When in the folder with the problem click on Tools/cache/purge cache for folder xxx. The thumbnails will be then rebuild and see if that solves the problem. Let all the thumbs rebuild completely (spinning arrow on bottom left corner will stop) before carrying out any other operation. You may have a few corrupted files in the cache.
It worked! Thanks, Curt. I just hope I didn't lose any pics, but I don't think I did.

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

Photoshop cs4 - Can't open .psd files in Bridge

I cannot open .psd files in Bridge, only .jpg and .tif, as far as I know. The .psd files are flattened--no layers. What's wrong?

Generated in PS cs4...always starting with a .jpg, working on it, then saving as .psd.
I open Bridge, navigate to the file I want to work on. The round icon that is for opening files in Camera Raw is grayed out. It IS available for .jpg and .tif files. If I go to the File menu in the upper left, there is no option to open the .psd file in Bridge. If I just click Open, the file will open in the default program I use for quickly viewing all photos (Irfanview).
Thinking also about the reply from 2.rob...
I hope I don't need to designate .psd files to always open in Photoshop in order to get this to work. I have all photo types set to Open for quick viewing in Irfanview, which I like very much. Often I want to look at a .psd file w/o opening Photoshop, which takes a while to load.

QuickView, Preview.. etc. Can't Display PSD files

I've been having this problem for some time now - as far back as can remember with OS X.
When I try to view a psd file, (prior to Lep) in Preview or Xee, all I get is the transparent Alpha Channel - ie usually a solid blank neutral gray or checker board white and gray. And as of Leopard (and Snow Leo), this situation now includes Quickview. I get no actual image, or sometimes part of an image displayed, but never the full image that is displayed in PS or PSE.
The ONLY exceptions to this problem I have found is an ancient app called ACDSee v1.6.9 (2001) and Quicktime Player. Both display psd files perfectly.
The preferences to save Image Previews: Always Save, Icon, Full Size, Mac Thumbnail, Windows Thumbnail.
Am I saving psd files wrong somehow so that the default system apps can not display psd files properly?
BTW - this problem is completely consistent on EVERY system I have tried it on regardless of the OS X version (Tiger, Leo, Snow Leo) and Photoshop version (PSE 2, 4, 5, 6; PS 7, CS1, CS2).
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is a very irritating problem..
TIA

This isn't an issue or something you are doing incorrectly, PSD is an Adobe format that is not widely supported. You need to open it within your Adobe application, such as Photoshop.

Why does psd-file from Bridge start as smart object in Photoshop?

Anybody has a solution?
Instead of opening the psd-file normally from bridge into photoshop the file converts to smart object.
I used to work with CS3 where double-clicking in Bridge on a psd-file would open it in Photoshop. Now, when I double click in Bridge (CS6) it opens a "quick time pro" file, which I definitely don't want. When I use the right mouse to "place in Photoshop" it does so, but then automatically converts the file into a smart object, which I don't want either. What need I do to open a psd-file in Bridge as normal psd-file in Photoshop (and to eliminate the silly "quick time pro standard" when double-clicking in Bridge?
Thanks in advance for help.

I have already posted the question in Photoshop. No solution yet.

Hi Curt Y
sorry, it was getting somewhat late last night (I live in Switzerland) and after having spent already quite some hours on this problems I wanted to dedicate the evening to more pleasant things.
when I go - in Photoshop - to > edit > preferences I only get the following window. there's nowhere "file type associations" (only in Bridge preferences), and I can't navigate anywhere to > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe PS 64bit > Photoshop exe. Do you have an idea why this could be? Thanks in advance for your support.

How does the image time stamp display /modification vary among Bridge, Photoshop, and PS Element Org

I've noticed some discrepancies between times recorded in my image EXIF data as well as the time displayed with images in Bridge and Photoshop Elements Organizer. For instance I may have a series of images shot within a few minutes of each other. After having done some manipulation of a subset of the images and later on showing the sequence in both Bridge and PSE Organizer, I have noticed that the time associated with some of the images has changed. Bridge and PSE Organizer may actually show times that differ by several hours. It almost looks like the time is converted from the original camera time to UTC and then possibly back to the time zone where my computer is located. The pattern is not completely consistent and may depend on what Adobe products have been used to adjust or catalog the images. I'm looking for a good and complete description of how each product handles the image date and time stamp. I suspect that there is some inconsistency in how this is done across the products. I'm currently using Bridge / Photoshop CS6 Extended and Photoshop Elements Organizer 10.0 which were recently upgraded from CS 5 and 8.0 respectively. I also use Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 to edit the Nikon raw files. This problem appears to predate the upgrade of my products.

Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time. Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
Maybe being more specific would help. Is your mesh complex?
Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create? I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest... You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

How to enable Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?

Hi,
I am using Adobe Photoshop Extended CS5 (64-Bit) on Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit).
When using Windows Explorer to browse through file folders, I notice that the Photoshop files (.psd) do not display a thumbnail preview, like other graphic files do. How can I enable the Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?
Thanks for your help,
The MiJiT

Adobe software doesn't provide a 64 bit codec and as far as I know there is no freeware to do it on x64 systems.
There are two pay-for applications that I know of: Mystic Thumbs and Ardfry's PSD codec

JPG's not displaying full colour in Bridge

When I import the images from my Nikon D300s Camera into Photoshop Bridge CS4 the images seem to be a coldish blue color when browsing them, this has only happened with the newiMac 2013 that I have just purchased, it all works fine in my earlier iMac 2009 model, I have checked that the settings are the same as the earlie one and all seems to be ok, when I open them up in photoshop the color returns, I have set everything up as Adobe RGB even on the camera but still not right. I have tried Tiff's and they are fine in bridge same as the RAW files, it is just the jpgs that don't look right. has anyone got any ideas what is wrong. If I open them in Raw and touch them up then open them in photoshop and save them as PSD files they are fine. any idea's.

Here is a link to the site. The homepage doesn't have any
dynamic jpgs so you will have to click the '7 TranScan' button
(this is the bottom button within the menu down the right-hand
side).
This will take you to the '7 Transcan' homepage where one of
the problem jpgs is not displaying. As you'll see it won't display
at all within Flash Player 8 but displays fine in Flash Player 9.

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.

Can't open psd files from Bridge CS6

Had both CS4 and CS6 installed, CS4 Bridge added itself when I wanted just CS6 Bridge, so uninstalled CS4. Now cannot open psd files from SC6 Bridge. What do I do?.

What is Bridge doing when you try to open the PSD file? Do you get a warning, does nothing happen? Did you open the preferences in CS6 bridge and set the file opening preferences to make sure they are set to PS CS6?

File association: psd opening in bridge cs2 not cs4

howdy
I'm in windows xp
I right click on a psd open with> choose program and navigate to bridge.exe in the bridge cs4 folder
I select "always use selected blah blah"
It still opens in cs2.
ALSO
I have 2 tell bridge cs4 to open twice before it opens (URGH) (Yes I have to click on the brodge icon twice to get it to open - once its been open it seems to be able to open again with one click)

OK so I did a registry edit to remove bridge from the list of programs
I then re-choose brodge CS4,
and now a fouble click on a PSD and nothing happens.
All I want to do is double click on a PSD to open it in bridge.
I'm in windows XP.

Displaying Raw updates in Bridge Win 7

Hello
I use Bridge and Camera RAW to process and display images from my 5D2.
I notice that Bridge previews show all the updates in Bridge as well as in the Slide Show, with the exception of sharpening.
When I apply sharpening in the RAW preview, I do not see the effect in the Bridge image.
Is there a Bridge or Camera RAW option?
Mike Engles

It's a Camera Raw setting, but Previews are always sharpened, regardless.
Bridge is a bit iffy with sharpening on many displays. Landscape format images are better on 4:3 displays for technical reasons I won't bore you with. There's a possiblility that workspace resolution might also be a factor. There's also the Advanced Bridge setting to display 'Monitor Size Previews', which should be ticked for spacebar-previews and slideshows.
It's always worth checking that your image cache is up to date by purging the cache of any blurred previews, and restarting Bridge if necessary.

Open PSD files from Bridge to Photoshop CS6

In previous version I can open psd files to Photoshop with double clicks. Now it open to QuickTime only. How can I go back to the the old way? And I don't want to "place" the file to smart objerct either.
Please help.

Hi,
In Bridge cs6 look under the Bridge preferences (Ctrl+K or Cmd+K) and then under File Type Associations, where you can choose the applications to open files from bridge.

Aperture Displays PSD Files as All Black

Hi,
I've followed the instructions to set up the preferences in Photoshop to maximize compatibility (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302624), but when I import the PSD files into Aperture, they aren't displayed properly - they are just shown as black. I took some screenshots here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41768092@N00/2763865123/in/set-72157606737164795/
1. PSD files just shown as black
2. But the Quick Preview displays the big picture correctly (but not the thumbnails)
3. The Loupe also shows it almost correctly.
Does anyone know what might be causing these PSD files to not display properly?

The only PSD bug that I am aware of is one that I have been wrestling with Apple over since leopard was released. It may be effecting you here but maybe not. If you have a saved alpha channel (selection) of any kind it will screw up the display everywhere in leopard including Aperture. Check to see if this what maybe doing this to you. If it is hit the thread back and I will describe my workaround. If not ?
