Flash Thumbnails in Bridge

Will Bridge CS3 now show .fla and .swf thumbnails?

I have selected the fastest thumbnails without success. I can just save the
image as a TIF and see the changes.
Choosing the prefer Embedded thumbnails is what it says, it shows the thumbnail that is embedded when you have created it. first with the camera, after that saving as a new file (e.g. tiff) creates a new embedded thumbnail that shows the changes if you saved the file that had changes to it.
As long as the thumb is surrounded by a thick black border it has not cached as preview with or without ACR settings.
If you have the Path bar in Bridge active (see if under the menu window there is a checkmark in front of 'path bar' you will see at the right side the little checker board icons most left of the row. The left checkerboard icon is for 'embedded thumbs only the right icon gives you the option HQ on demand and Always HQ.
If speed is really such an issue you could choose HQ on demand but to be honest, if you wait a little longer with the setting Always HQ and let Bridge do its caching first you gain more speed in the following process of searching and selecting files, because they already are HQ and don't need to build previews or reflect settings after you have changed those

  • Displaying thumbnails in Bridge CS2

    Hello, I've organized the photos from my Canon Digital Rebel XT in Adobe Bridge CS2 (Version 1.0.4.6) for years without a problem.  I shoot in RAW and those files are approx. 7 MB in size.  I recently received a Canon T3i and the files sizes are approx. 3 times as large and I'm having trouble getting Bridge to display a thumbnail.  I can't imagine it's a file size issue since I routinely have .psd files that are 70 MB and larger that I have no trouble having Bridge display a thumbnail.  The photos from both cameras are CR2.  Is there a settings in Bridge I should adjust?
    Any other ideas why I can't get the photos from the new camera to display as thumbnails in Bridge?
    Thanks for your help :-)

    The fact that they have the same extension is irrelevant.  The files are fundamentally different.
    The Canon T3i was supported for the first time in ACR 6.4 and later, which only run with CS5.
    There is and there will be no version of ACR that will work with Bridge CS2 to open files from the T3i.
    Your only option would be to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw CS2 files to raw DNGs that you can then open in CS2.
    If you have an Intel Machine, you want version 6.6 of the Adobe DNG Converter.  If your machine is older than the Intel Macs, e.g. any kind of Power Mac, then you need version 6.4 of the free Adobe DNG Converter, as later versions will not run on non-Intel machines.

  • InDesign thumbnails in Bridge CS4

    I've noticed that some InDesign CS2 and CS4 files do not show thumbnails in Bridge CS4. I tried the Build and Export Cache function in the Tools menu and nothing changed. Any suggestions?
    Also, I would be interested in a Bridge extension for harvesting thumbnails for old PageMaker 6.5 and 7 files.

    Here is a link that has the same problem.  No real jump in your face solultion, but hopefully it will help guide you.

  • Help! can't see CR2 thumbnails In Bridge

    what can I try?
    I cannot see the thumbnails in Bridge but can go into CS4 and open them up no problem
    I shoot Canon 5d Mark II
    I downloaded Camera Raw 5.3
    works fine for my regular 5D but no on the new Mark II
    any suggestions?
    thanks!

    Hi - Joan's husband here (I built the computer hardware for her, but don't
    really know Photoshop that well). I did a search for "camera raw" files and
    found a second instance located in the adobe/common files folder (not in
    program file subfolders as the proper plugin is located per instructions).
    It was the 5.0 version, and I could not do anything with it, eg delete it as
    it "was in use by a program", even though I had no prgrams open. I was able
    to rename it to "old camera raw 5-0", and I copied the new camera raw 5.4
    version into that folder. I rebooted and now had 3 camera raw plugins
    appearing in CS4/hlep/about/plugins drop down list.
    I then went back into the common file folder and was able to delete the old
    camera raw file. I now have two camera raw files appearing in the
    help/aboutplugins dropdwon, but they are both the same 5.4 version. Now I am
    able to see a selection to generate a high quality thumbnail for the cs2
    files in Bridge when I right-clicked on those, and this generated the
    thumbnails for all of those file types. All is well now (I hope !!), thanks
    for your input and advice.
    I did purge the cache, but that didn't change anything as far as I could
    tell. Also, the 5.4 update doesn't show the Canon 5D Mark II on the list of
    updated cameras for this revision, so I don't think it is a necessary update
    for this specific camera, but probably good to stay current.
    If this was an "end-run" around a proper fix then I would like to know the
    proper way to resolve this.

  • How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

  • RAW images from D300 appear as thumbnails in Bridge

    I have CS3 and ACR 4.5 and Windows XP, for the past month all RAW files from D300 have loaded perfectly and opened fine. Yesterday, I loaded files and they appear only as thumbnails in Bridge. I am not able to rotate, or apply any adjustments to these thumbnails. If I double-click them, they open as RAW files in ACR, and I can proceed and work on them as I normally would.
    Another strange thing: all of the other files I have loaded from my D300 now react the same way, even though they were perfectly fine before. Images from D2x are fine.
    Should I try to uninstall/reinstall Bridge? Any other suggestions? There have been similar threads here, but not this specifically.
    thanks
    alan

    I just experienced the same phenomenon. It actually started in the middle of a session working in the Bridge. Other then the thumbnail appearing there were a couple of other strange symptoms I noticed when this happened to me.
    1. If first happened to some files, then got worse as I went back and forth between folders. However, it never effected all the raw files. Some stayed as normal.
    2. It effected .ORF files and .DNG files equally.
    3. For both files effected and those not effected it created a corresponding .XMP file in the folders
    4. If used the DNG converter to convert the ORF files to DNG the resulting DNG files appeared as normal thumbnails.
    In any event the reset suggested by Curt did work, and restored everything back to normal.

  • No Thumbnails in Bridge CS5

    I have no thumbnail previews Bridge CS5, just empty boxes.

    I have installed cs5 extended.
    bridge will not create thumbnails for my RAW images from the canon t2
    1/550
    the newest RAW plugin update is dated April 21, the RAW plugin which installs with CS5 is dated April 3 I believe??
    I downloaded the April 21 RAW update and replaced the RAW file formats that came with CS5, with the latest as directed on the Adobe Website.
    Now bridge will not create thumbnails for any RAW files from the Canon 40D on up
    Photoshop will open all RAW files fine including all supported as of April 21, including all RAW formats supported with the RAW file format updates from April 21,
    and the RAW converter works fine, and saves the T2i CR images in DNG format as well.
    However nothing works in Bridge, and and cannot import using bridge and convert to DNG simultaneously.
    Is there a fix for bridge and this problem?
    Thanks

  • .NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

    .NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

    I have:
    PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
    BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
    The computer found  6 files  named Camera Raw.8bi.  They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has  >Program Files>.
    When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
    If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
    Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
    It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
    By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.

  • Icon does not appear in the image thumbnail in Bridge

    After processing a camera raw file using the Camera Raw plug-in, an icon does not appera in the image thumbnail in Bridge. Using raw plug-in created april 19 2007 in windows vista. The same CS2 program does create the icon on another computer using Windoes XP. Jim

    Please check your top toolbar left side, you should see a small arrow icon to expend the toolbar, located near the Tools option
    (Ignore the location side in the sample picture, it should be the opposite for your language )
    If you cannot locate the HP Smart Web Printing there either, Click Tools > Manage Addons
    and make sure the HP Smart Web Printing addon is enabled,

  • How can you view/work on image in CC while still viewing thumbnails in Bridge?

    Just switched to CC from CS5. Cannot open an image from Bridge into Photoshop while still viewing thumbnails in Bridge. Killing my workflow by having to reopen Bridge after processing every image in Photoshop. Using two monitors. Another huge frustration: I cannot get Photoshop to open image on secondary monitor. Any suggestions? About ready to cancel subscrition and go back to CS5. Thanks!

  • Maintain changes in Thumbnail in Bridge

    I had some issues with Bridge a few days ago. The typical view of thumbnails I was used to, where underneath my thumbnail was some info (date/time/name/size) was missing, it was just the thumbnails. I reset my workspace and got back to the view I was used to. But now I have a different issue. When I open an image in Camera Raw, process it, then close it, the changes don't appear in the thumbnails in Bridge. This is new. I've used Adobe Bridge along with Camera Raw and Photoshop for a decade, all the way back to PS3, and this is the first time I've seen this. Anyone know what's going on, how I can correct it? Thanks, Dave

    If you use embedded thumbnails they will not show raw edits.  Have to use one of HQ thumbs.

  • Thumbnails on Bridge are unsharp - what is wrong?

    Some of my thumbnails on Bridge are not sharp ... the ones that are not sharp seem to have a black border around then.  When I open the files in photoshop they are fine ... also find that moving the file to another folder SOMETIMES fixes the problem...

  • Can open cr2 files but no thumbnails in Bridge

    I got no response in Bridge forum so I am trying here.
    I am trying to help a friend with Mac Snow Leopard OS but i am a Windows person so maybe I did something wrong.
    I downloaded and installed ACR 8.3. His 6D RAW files open fine in Photoshop CS6 but Bridge does not generate thumbnails. However I do see the small thumbs in the loader while importing the photos  but once I am in Bridge there are no thumbnails. I deleted Bridge's preferences and deleted the cache but nothing helped.
    What else can I do?
    Thanks in advance

    >By "RAW converter file" I mean the plug-in that I downloaded from the Adobe homepage.
    That's unclear. Both the DNG Converter and the Camera Raw Plug-in can be downloaded from the Adbe downloads page. :/
    You want the Camera Raw
    plug-in, not the DNG
    Converter.
    Did you remove the old Camera Raw plug-in when you updated to ACR 4.6? Are you sure you are in the ROOT LEVEL Library and not your user Library?
    Also, I'm assuming you quit both Photoshop
    and
    Bridge before updating, then re-launched both applications afterwards?
    Purge the Cache for each offending folder through the Tools menu in Bridge.
