Free PSD Thumbnail reviewer for win 7 explorer

Hi,
I have CS5 and use Win7- Ultimate-64bit.
What is the free approache to preview PSD files' thumbnails in windows explorer?
Thanks . . .

Google is your friend.
There seem to be plenty of options, lots of them not needing commercial extra software. Many of them are hacks with unknown effects and more for the proficient user. But obviously this issue has been solved for many users already.

Open Bridge.
Choose Edit - Preferences, and pick the File Type Associations function on the left.

PSD Thumbnails and Windows

After installing a PSD Thumbnail viewer for Win7 explorer, some Photoshop files thumbnails are viewable in Windows Explorer, while others are still showing a PSD Icon for the Photoshop image in Windows explorer, any ideas?

This is just a guess but possibly the previews show for any PSD that has no layers. If it has layers only the icon will show. In Photoshop go to PREFERENCES> FILE HANDLING. By "Maximize PSD File Compatibility", in drop down select ALWAYS. This saves a flattened version with the layers which usually can be read by some file browsers. Hope this works.

Thumbnail picture for .EPS or .PSD

Moved from PSE 3 to 5, some questions...
Question 1) Under windows explorer, when looking at the contents of a folder in thumbnail view, it does not give a thumbnail picture for .EPS or .PSD (Photoshop Elements 5.0) files, which is a real problem. If you open an .EPS with PSE5, and save it to .EPS, PSE5 ask you for a .TIF image for the thumbnail. This worked under PSE3, but does not under PSE5 (i.e. Opened and saved to .EPS with TIF thumbnail still does not display under Windows Explorer).
Is there any way to correct this? Any utility that would allow all file formats to be viewed in thumb nail?
Question 2) In PSE3 under the File menu, there was an option like "Browse Pictures" (I don't remember exactly the name), and it was, in effect, a windows explorer that did display the thumnails of not PSE3 .EPS files and .PSD files. This made up for the issue in question 1. However, I cannot find this option anywhere in PSE5. Has it been dropped? I it has been dropped I will probably reinstall PSE3 and use it for that feature alone.
Thanks!
Bob

Bob,
See this thread for, at least, PSD icons.
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?224@@[email protected]
I don't remember anything about EPS thumbnails coming up. Installing the dll as described some years ago when PE3 came out restored my PSD icons. Not sure if it works in PE5.
The "Browse folders" option in PE3 Editor's File menu was dropped in PE4 and has not returned. One of several reasons I'm still on PE3. :)

Is there a way to view psd thumbnails in Windows 8?

Is there a way to view psd thumbnails in Windows 8 without downloading third-party software?

No there is no way to do this in Windows 8. If you do not want to pay for a codec, here is a cost free alternative.

How to show psd thumbnails in windows 8?

My psd files are only shown as icons rather than thumbnails in windows 8 explorer. How cane I change this please?

You would need a third-party codec such as Ardfrey's.
View Photoshop PSD PSB PDD PDF AI EPS INDD files in Windows - x64 PSD CODEC for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Win…
or FPV
FastPictureViewer Codec Pack: PSD, CR2, NEF, DNG RAW codecs (and more) for Windows 8.x Desktop, Windows 7, Windows Vista…
MS really does not support PSD thumbnails.

PSD Thumbnails Not Showing

I have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended and for some reason the PSD thumbnails are not showing up.
The PSD files just show up with the blue PS icon but the thumbnail image is missing - I have to open each PSD to find out what the image is.
FYI, I am running Win XP Pro 32 Bit
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, thanks!

For future readers of this thread (e.g., those who might find it through a search):
The psicon.dll fix listed in the link posted above will ONLY work on a 32 bit system.
There is no free solution for 64 bit systems (e.g., Windows 7 x64) at this time, so if you have an x64 system don't waste your time trying it. Commercial software must be purchased to do the job. There are several good packages out there.

Audio garbled with 9.0.115.0 for Win XP Pro

Using Win XP Pro and IE7, Audio is garbled in some Camtasia
Studio productions with 9.0.115.0 that still play just fine with
9.0.47.0 installed on a laptop.
Steps taken:
1. Have updated Driver, Realtek AC97 Audio, (ALCXWDM.SYS,
version 5.10.0000.6270, date, 10/26/2007).
2. Installed K-Lite Codec Pack 357 Full.
3. Ran CCleaner and cleared cache for Adobe Flash Player.
4. Affirmed configuration is set for Desktop Stereo.
5. Secured all Audio Cables.
6. Tried to re-install 9.047.0 by uninstalling 9.0.115.0 and
running the archived flashplayer9r47_winax.exe, but the installer
would not run after giving me a popup advising of a newer version
available for download that was recommended as more secure by
Adobe.
SUMMARY: Some audio remains ungarbled (MP3s and UTUBE), but I
have had trouble with some Camtasia productions.
1. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and
possible remedies?
2. Is there a way to get flashplayer9r47_winax.exe to
actually run and go back to the previous version 9.0.47.0?
Thanks for your help.

I have finally clarified the sound problem I reported in this
forum.

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash
Player sound garbled or have a high-pitched "chipmunk" sound to
them.
Answer
The latest release of the Flash Player (v9.0.115.0 released
on 12/03/07)) causes audio to sound garbled and/or high pitched
like a chipmunk. Our development team is looking into this issue
and working to find a fix.
To avoid this problem, you can roll back your Flash Player to
a previous release. If you have problems installing an older
release of the Flash Player please review this article and contact
Adobe for further support.
At this time, the problem is limited only to SWF files
produced with the MP3 audio codec. As a workaround, you can produce
your SWF files with the PCM audio codec or use the FLV format
instead of SWF.

Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash
Player
Issue
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9.0.47.0 and attempted to install version 9.0.45.0 the installation
would fail.
Reason
This issue is due to registry key settings applied by the
Flash Player security model. The restriction is to prevent users
from downgrading Flash Player minor versions. The minor version of
Flash Player is the third set of numbers in the version name. For
example, the minor version for Flash Player 9.0.47.0 would be 47.
If Flash Player 9.0.47.0 was installed and you attempted to install
9.0.45.0 (minor version 45), the installation would fail.
Solution
To resolve this, download the uninstaller for Flash Player
from "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control" (TechNote tn_14157).
Select Start.
Select Run.
Type cmd
In the command window, type the following:
uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
This will remove all entries in the system registry and
resolve this issue.
Note: The uninstall_flash_player.exe file must be saved to
the same directory that the command window is in, for example C:\.

Windows" (TechNote tn_19166).

TIF thumbnail incorrect in Windows Explorer (PSE 7 and 8)

Sometimes when I save a TIF file (with “Discard Layers and Save a Copy” selected) the thumbnail shown in Windows Explorer is incorrect.
The thumbnail appears to show only one layer from the PSD I have been working on, even if that layer no longer exists because it has been deleted or the image has been flattened.
I have experienced this problem in Elements 7 and 8, and on a machine with a fresh install of Windows XP and Elements 8.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Lol. Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years. Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity. Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed. Then came Acrobat 9. And now "X". Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

.psd thumbnails

How can I view the thumbnail picture on a .psd file in CS6. All I get is a blue box with psd/PS on it instead of the picture that's on that file. This is very annoying because if I'm looking for a specific .psd file I have to look on my picture viewing software, find out what the file name is and then pull it up on photoshop. I have CS3 and I have no problem seeing the picture.

That's because the File > Open dialog does not belong to Photoshop, it belongs to Windows. The blue icon is the result of removing a file that wrote the thumbnails because of problems on some systems.
Photoshop had a file called "psicon.dll" that wrote the thumbnails at the OS level but on some systems there were "file locking" problems and Adobe took it out. Since then Adobe and Microsoft have not been able come to an agreement as to who should do what.
You can blame Adobe or Microsoft all you want, but you won't get .psd thumbnails at the OS level. I know, I tried for a year and that was years ago. That's why I went with FPV.
The software I linked you to are "codecs". Upon install they produce .psd thumbnails in Windows so that you can see them when you use File > Open as an example.
Give FPV a try and let me know what you think. Or go with sagethumbs as Trevor recommended.
Yes it does fix the thumbnail problem.

Thumbnails "hack" for cs3

Is there a new "hack" for viewing psd thumbnails in windows explorer,? i have tryed the shell extention thingy, but it didnt work...
Tnx

Hi Jim,
I will check if I have another version in place. Maybe now I get a problem because I use Bridge for viewing the new pictures, classifying by tags. For searches later on I have Photoshop elements because of it´s fast database. For PSE I now need Version 7 with Camera Raw 5.2, for Bridge and CS3 (more complex actions for improving my pictures) I had to install ACR 4.6.
From Bridge I can open the pictures with "open" and 4.6 appears before entering CS3. But in Bridge the option "open with camera raw" is not available.
Hopefully I only have 2 ACR 4.x versions in the CS3 directories. This would be easy to solve. Otherwise it seems to get more and more enerving to find the error.
