Getting other formats to display thumbnails in Windows XP

Is there anyway to get Windows XP to display thumbnails for all of the different photo formats like PSD & BMP? All I ever see in Windows Explorer are jpegs's.

There are numerous add-ons for Windows Explorer that will show thumbnails for various file types. If you do an Internet search for "psd thumbnails" you'll find a number of possible solutions, some of which I think will generate thumbnails for many other image types as well. If you have raw files, many camera vendors ship software ("codecs") included with the camera that allow Explorer to view them.

You may need to set the slider at the upper-right corner of the Control window to something other than the extreme left-most position:
Hope this helps.

How do I get the iMac to display thumbnails and not an icon of jpeg photos?

Hi folks,
I just purchased my first Mac, an Imac. I was browsing through a folder, using Finder, containing photos files from my latest trip.
Under Windows, I used to tell Windows Explorer to show thumbnails of the photos.
How do I get the iMac and Finder to show the thumbnails? It only wants to show a silly jpg icon which doesn't tell me much about what the photo looks like.
Thanks.

That was quick!
I have a folder of JPEG photos on my HD. This folder was created over a year ago when I was using Panther.
When I open it and select "Show View Options" I get a different window with options like "Date Created" and "Date Modified" etc.
There is no preview option or a slider to alter the icon sizes - merely a choice of large or small icons.

When i recieve a incoming call on my iphone 4s the size of the contact picture is full screen how do i get the picture to display thumbnail size

when recieving a incoming call the full size contact pic assigned to the contact displays how can i cahnge it to thubnail size while displaying the wallpaper at the same time?please help!!!

Dear arob615,
Reduce the resolution.
The picture will display as thumbnail on the phone when a call comes in.
Since Mountain Lion I had full screen caller pictures even when assigned in the OS X adress book.
In my case I reduced the picture to 64 x 64 pixels.
Then it showed as thumbnail as calls came in.
I don't know where the exact maximum pixel size for thumbnail display is.
If you find out, tell us.
This bugged me a long time and I would enjoy if this could help you.
Best regards

Work around to get Drive files to display thumbnails in Bridge

My company recently installed Adobe Drive using a CMIS connection to Alfresco community edition (bear with me, I'm the art director not IT so I hope all that made sense) only to find out that CMIS connections don't support thumbnails and previews in bridge. I then inquired with Adobe about their DAM solution and they said that was for larger enterprises. I would like to know if anyone knows of a work around? I can't imagine we are the only company who wants to use the versioning drive offers AND maintain our workflow with bridge. Any help would be appreciated..

Hmmmm. Not so sure about that one.
Actually, it might be worth checking through the iPod + iTunesdownloads page to see if there are any useful widgets and whatnot for that there. (There's a few notes-related items showing up there too, which might work better than my suggestions about performing unnatural acts with your lyrics tags.)

How can I get my browser to display thumbnails, images, and the background?

I've had this problem for months now. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting, everything I could think of. However, the problem remains. The background is never there, thumbnails are never there, images are invisible. It's basically just shapes and text.
Is there any way I can post a screenshot?

I have posted a screenshot of what I mean.

Display thumbnails for MOV files in Windows XP?

How do I get MOV files to display thumbnails for each clip in Windows XP pro?

One other thing to explore - do these particular files begin with Black Video?
Good luck,

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

How do I get Windows8 to display thumbnails in Explorer

Just changed from Windows XP to Win 8. In XP I could see picture thumbnails in Explorer where as in Win 8 I can only see the Application Icon. Help, going nuts..
PS: in XP I was using Photoshop CS3 Now I'm using Lightroom 5.2

There should be a Microsoft RAW Codec that you can install. If you can’t find that or it doesn’t work for the images you want, then there is a pay-for codec that displays thumbnails of more image formats from: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/

Error converting image get error msg when trying to display thumbnail

Hi there
Me again
I am having some problems displaying thumbnails
I keep getting the error
Error converting image (create thumbnail). The "...........public_html/productimages/thumbnails/" folder has no write permissions.
So I go to my host and change write permissions on the files to 755 and try again and get the same msg
Then I contacted my host and changed the permissions to 777 and I went to the includes config file and changed the permissions to 777 too and still does not work
So I go to my cpanel and check all the files are set to 777 I make a new test page with a dynamic table and show thumbnail behavior and get the same error msgs
So I close DW restart and try again and get the same msg.......
So then I check the file permissions in the DW split screen window when connected to server..... I right click on some files on my server.... namely the 'thumbnails' file and check its permission and it is only set to 755 but in my host it is set to 777
So I try to change ppermissions from DW and get the
"setting access properties failed for: ' error
So what is the correct permissiion..... 755 or 777?
I have read two other posts on this forum and I still cant get to work
Does anyone have any ideas
I have used up all my options and most of my patience
I hope I can get this working asap....
Have a nice day

IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

Try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Flash gallery - filename on thumbnail and get rid of sequence display next to slideshow controls

Hello. Thanks in advance for you help. I'm wondering two things as I'm trying to tweak my use of flash web galleries for client image selection.
First, is there any way to get the filename to display on the thumbnails in the gallery? Used to have this with html galleries from bridge/pshop. Clients are complaining about this - especially when picking images for compositing, and it makes it difficult if not impossible to compare images within a big gallery.
Next, I've had one client (IQ challenged), that told me to process file number 10. Instead of filename # ABC001_010, what they were referring to was the 10/250 that's next to the slideshow controls. Stupid, but true. Anyway, I have no use for the sequence number so I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of it on the gallery without having to do a custom edit to the code or whatever.
Thank you!

John,
I totally agree with you: also my clients start to complain that they miss the filenames on the thumbnails (I use an edited version of the Lightroom HTML Template). Seems that clients don't take (have) the time nowadays to go through the full versions...
As a convinced convert from Iview Media Pro this is about the only thing I really miss. Would be very nice if someone (G. Jardine?) would throw in some code here!
Thanks in advance!

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
Thanking you in anticipation!

I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.
