DNG thumbnail in finder

Does anyone have experience sorting out the issue of no thumbnails in finder/preview after exporting files as dng out of lightroom? There are several conversations in the forum about this problem, but cant seem to find a solution.
Anyone know how to sort this out?
(have the newest apple camera update, using canon mark ii, 17-35 mm if that can have anything to with it)

Last August Eric Chan, head RAW engineer, said that OSX does not support previews for particular cameras' DNGs.  The next reply was that OSX didn't support DNG previews for cameras that embed lens corrections in their RAW files.

There may be a QT plug-in for DNGs but I'm not a Mac guy so am not sure if it is universal:

    Mac does support previewing dngs in finder and preview. This has not been a problem before (besides when using my fujufilm compact camera, which mac now has updated the Apple camera for).
    To answer your Q about dng files. Thats exactly what i do. I have work which involves communicating/transfering multiple lr -edited files to someone else whom further edits in ps. Not only that, I personally use dng as a way of storing my files. I suppose like to keep my files tidy and uniform.
    Any mac users out there who has a a solution to my issue with previewing dngs?

  • Sony files imported as DNG into Lightroom 5 have no thumbnails in Finder

    I use Lightroom 5 and always convert my RAW files into DNG format when I import photos.  Since I converted to OS X the DNG thumbnails from my Sony NEX camera do not show up in Finder.  The DNG files coming from my Canon camera do show up as thumbnails.  This is a royal pain since you can't see the photos to identify which one you want without opening it up in Lightroom.  I have checked with Adobe and they are very clear that this is an Apple problem - which my experience would seem to support since the problem started when I converted to OS X.  Any solutions?

    Thanks for your reply.

  • .mp4 and .avi video thumbnails in finder view

    Hi, Some of my .mp4 and .avi video files have a thumbnail in finder view and some don't... Does anyone know how I can solve this?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    Maybe, but maybe not. I use DigitalMedia Converter to convert to DV-AVI Type II's (I'm only doing SD), and it has a Split function. However, I have never used that, so do not know how well it might work for your needs, if at all. I just do not know. I believe that Deskshare has a user forum, and that might be a good place to try, after you've looked down their FAQ's.
    I hope that others will have a definitive answer for you, with iron-clad suggestions.

  • Why are the DNG Thumbnails of my Sony DRC RX100 not shown in the File Finder of my Mac?

    When I first import the original RAWs from my Sony DRC RX100, I can see the thumbnails in the File Finder (so my Mac with OSX 10.9.1. is perfectly fine), but after reworking them with Lightroom and exporting them as DNG files, the pictures are not shown any more as thumbnails in the file finder, but as empty white boxes. The curious thing is that the RAW pictures shooted with my Nikon D5200 do not have any visualization problem after exporting them from Lightroom.  The problem is very disgusting, as I can not search for pictures in the file finder. And Adobe did just close my open request on this issue (case #0180632682) without my consent and without any solution! Who else has got this problem and knows if there is any help to this stupid phenomenon? Does anyone at Adobe take care at all?
    Thanks!

    I think that this is a Lightroom problem because the original Raw files from the camera card are shown as thumbnails in the file finder, but after importing them into Lightroom as dng, retouching them and exporting them with Lightroom, the files are not shown any more. Obviously my sony RX100 camera is not the problem, at least not for my Mac. As Lightroom always needs to work together with a windows PC or a Mac, Adobe should ensure the compatibility of the functions with the host system. I think that is what all consumers logically expect from Lightroom. And a photography SW should be able to show fotos and export visible foto files...
    The very same Dng files from my other camera (a Nikon d5200) do not have this problem at all, although I export them in the very same format as the pics from my Sony, which is not at all an exotic camera. This is very confusing.
    I export dng files because this is the Lightroom own raw format that keeps the original quality of my raws. TIFF files are too large, and jpegs sensibly reduce the quality. So there is no option. I need to stay in Raw. Do I have any other quality options?

  • Adobe .dng files do not show as Thumbnails in Finder

    I've recently downloaded some Adobe .dng (raw image files) from their site as part of a Lightroom tutorial, but I find that they do not show up in Finder as thumbnails. They all just show the same icon, (which looks like a camera aperture), and this is not helpful when trying to work out which is which.
    Is there any way to get Finder to show them as thumbnails please?
    I'm running OS X 10.9.4.
    I don't know if it's relevant, but I did have Apple Aperture installed until I uninstalled it recently.
    Could uninstalling that have removed raw file handling abilities? On the other hand, when I tried to install the RAWcameraupdate5.04.dmg file from Apple my system advised me that I already had a more recent version installed.

    I had the same issue in the past but whatever, it cleared up and I can see the thumbnails in 10.9.4. Other's have reported this in the past so you're not alone. I honestly don't know what the fix is but it has to do with the Finder so if you've got some utilities like Cocktail or can try some stuff either in Terminal or in Single User mode, might fix the issue. If you're up to date with the Apple Raw Software updates but still don't see the thumbs, I suspect it's the Finder.

  • Thumbnails missing from DNG files in Finder

    I have been converting Canon CR2 files to DNG files for archiving using Adobe DNG Converter 8.1. Conversion completed without issue and the files located in the appropriate folder on an external hard drive. Checking the folder I found the DNG files showing with no thumbnails and showing Dimensions 0x0 in Finder window. The last time I used DNG Converter was some 18 months ago and the conversions on CR2 files from the same camera converted to DNG files with thumbnails and Dimensions showing. The source CR2 files show correctly in Finder.
    There have been updates to OS X 10.8, also to Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe DNG Converter since I last did such archiving. I have searched on Adobe website but have found no reference to this issue and googling has not helped. Has anyone had a similar experience and possibly found the answer?

    Same here. Latest updates to Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, OSX 10.9. I could view .DNGs no problem before Mavericks. I can preview Canon Raw files no problem in the finder or with quick look. Not with Mavericks. And the file sizes are listed as 0x0, which is really reassuring.
    My guess is botched Apple Mavericks programming. Or yet another Apple/Adobe spat where the software team managers' haven't had their diapers changed in a bit and are squabbling over whose toys are whose.
    And, the end users get jacked. Again.

  • Photoshop cc2014 thumbnails in finder window

    Hi,
    I've just got off a chat with Adobe about the problem of displaying tiff thumbnails generated by Adobe Photoshop CC2014.  Previous versions of Photoshop gave lovely thumbnails with a white border, and after editing they went slightly greyed out and the border disappeared, so you you could see which files you had worked on and saved.
    Now the thumbnails stay the same, and sometimes don't display at all.
    Playing with the size of the thumbnails  discovered that at 64 x 64 pixels you can see the thumnails, but go to any size bigger then this all you get is the Generic Tiff tag.  Needless to say this is not suitable.
    Adobe said that his was not their problem, but in the next breath said that they are "working with Apple closely to fix it"
    I've read about some code that Apple asked Adobe to leave out which may be the cause of this.  Does anyone know if a fix is in the pipeline? 
    As a professional photographer this has really messed up my workflow.

  • No more JPEG thumbnails in Finder (also no cover flow!)

    I don't see any thumbnails anymore in Finder..
    I have several JPG's exported by Photoshop, and they look fine in Preview, also in column layout, when you click the file, it shows a thumb, but in icon view and cover flow, I only get to see the JPG icon, instead of a thumb..
    Two screenshots of the problem:

    If what bob said doesnt work or if you already did that which I assume you did - then try this;
    go into library>preferences and deleting the finder.plist and finder.sidebar files.
    I did this and restarted the machine and my icons for jpegs are back!

  • No .dng Preview in Finder or Quick Look; File Dimensions 0x0.

    Can see Canon .CR2 raw file preview in finder and quick look. Can see file dimensions.
    Cannot see same files converted in Lightroom to DNGs. File dimensions listed as 0x0.
    CAN see older DNG files processed exactly the same way. All files stored in an external WD 2TB drive. Just for fun dragged an old DNG file to that drive and the preview works fine.
    OSX 10.9
    Latest Adobe Camera Raw

    Rebooted, emptied caches, reindexed Spotlight, and on and on and on.
    Apple bug? Adobe bug? Or another situation where they are blaming each other and the professionals relying on their products enjoy yet more frustration. Don't get me started on the color management fiasco of not so long ago...
    Thanks!

    Here is the situation: I use Spotlight to search, and
    find a bunch of things I want to look at, including
    some PDF files, which I click to open in Preview.
    Now, I want to send some of these documents, or at
    least one of them, as an email attachment using
    Mail.app. What to do?
    One way to do this is to use the "Mail PDF" item in the PDF Services group of items under the PDF "menu" in the Print Dialog. For multiple documents, this would mean bringing up the dialog ffor each document, so maybe that is not practical.
    You could also create a workflow item using Automator. I am not that familiar with Automator, and you'll have much better luck in the Automator forum, but a quick glance shows an "Add Attachment to Front Message" action as part of Mail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to turn off thumbnails in Finder

    Okay, let's try again.
    Would like to get rid of thumbnail previews in the Finder (they take too long to load), and just have the generic file type icons in the column views. Can this be done?
    Also, the OS cannot distinguish between Illustrator and Photoshop eps files. Can this be corrected?
    Rich Apollo

    Hi rich -
    I did set the the Opens With property in an attempt to get raster files to open with Photoshop instead of Preview.
    You might want to take a look at this posting:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1366432#1366432
    I get the impression that you may be under a similar misconception about .eps file format. AI & PS each have their own proprietary version of encapsulated postscript, but if the files weren't created by either of those two apps they won't be automatically associated with either one, regardless of the vector or raster nature of the image that was used to create them.
    I'm running CS2, so maybe something's changed. Anyway, sure the icons are somewhat distinct, but now I've got yellow ones and pink ones for AI and blue for PS and some other blue that's kind of a generic eps icon.
    I don't yet have AI CS2, so I can't address the icon color issue there (although my guess is that the pinks are AI CS files that haven't yet been converted to CS2 & the yellow is the new color used by AI CS2), but PS CS2 does now use blue rather than green. The other blue icon may very well be Preview and used by the eps files that haven't been associated with AI or PS.
    Resaving the files doesn't really do anything.
    If you just open & save the file, no, it won't change anything. However, if you use File>Save As/Save a Copy As, and specify Illustrator EPS/Photoshop EPS, it most definitely will.

  • White Border Added to File Thumbnails (in Finder) after iPhoto Export??

    I recently upgraded to Leopard and iLife '08.
    I love having a white border on my photos, but since iPhoto doesn't have the ability to attach a border when exporting, I often add one using Photoshop.
    --> First, I export photos to a folder on my desktop
    --> Then, I run a batch processing Action in Photoshop to add the borders (via canvas size, if you care)
    --> Finally, I add the resulting (bordered) photos to a separate iPhoto library, which I use exclusively to keep bordered versions of my "best of the best" photos.
    My question is this. I just dragged a bunch of (non-bordered) photos out of iPhoto to the aforementioned folder on my desktop. When I did this, I noticed that each of the FINDER thumbnails (i.e. not the iPhoto thumbs) now has a white border around it. Opening the file reveals that this white border ONLY applies to the thumbnail (i.e. the actual files look identical to the photos in iPhoto).
    1) Why is this?
    2) I also noticed that the white border (again, in FINDER thumbs) wasn't applied to the 2 photos I previously edited in Photoshop (as opposed to all others, for which I used iPhoto). Why is this?
    Thanks...

    Jason
    1) Why is this?
    This seems like a new feature introduced with the Finder in 10.5
    2) I also noticed that the white border (again, in FINDER thumbs) wasn't applied to the 2 photos I previously edited in Photoshop (as opposed to all others, for which I used iPhoto). Why is this?
    I can confirm this. Again, a Finder issue. My guess is that it depends on which app creates the thumbnail.
    Really, these are questions for Finder people, rather than iPhoto people.
    Regards
    TD

    might want to consider something other than column view then. I use icon view if I have files that tend to hang the Finder in column view.
    That's al I can come up with.. sorry.

  • Question about thumbnails in Finder

    A nice way of assigning custom thumbnails to items in Finder is by bringing up the Get Info panel of a given item, and pasting a copied image (either from the web or an image viewer) to the thumbnail editor in the top left corner.
    However, something I've noticed is Finder's inconsistency with resolution. If I'm lucky, the thumbnail will retain the resolution of the copied image, so that no matter what size I readjust the items in a Finder window, the thumbnail will stay crisp. But a lot of the time, and sometimes as soon as the image has copied, Finder seems to decrease the resolution. A way of checking is to copy the thumbnail back from the Get Info panel and paste it into an image viewer. Lo and behold, the image is lower res.
    Does anyone know if there is any way to control this and maintain high res thumbnails?
    Thanks very much.
