Grid view thumbnail border colors

Hi all,
I have searched Help and online and can't find an answer to a very simple question:  Why is the thumbnail border for some images a different color in grid view?  Please see the attached image.  I can't figure out why the image on the left is a lighter gray than the two in the middle.  The far right image is lighter because it is selected.
Thank you.
John

Thanks Rikk, but I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me there.
Just for clarification:
When images are not selected, and they are in an expanded stack, they will appear in the grid in a darker shade of the colour they would have if they weren't in a stack, or if they were in a collapsed stack, like so:
The two images on the left are not colour labelled, and not part of a stack. The two images on the right are also not color labelled, but are an expanded stack, so are shown with a darker shade of grey.
If we then apply the same colour label to each image, we then get the same effect:
But I agree that making a selection on any of these images does complicate the answer!!

  • Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?

    Hi
    I'd like to see the flag-status, rating and color label assigned to an image as cell icons. But if I show them as Cell Icons, I am also able to change them, which happens to me quite often accidentally when I click into the frame of a image to change selections.
    Is it possible to show these markers for each image without being able to change them in the frame? I would be quite happy being able to change them from the tool bar, but still being able to see them on the single image.
    Related to this:
    Is it somehow possible to mark images as read only, so that further changes (development, metadata etc.) can be made impossible? This would be nice for older images, which have been processed completely and should stay that way, inhibiting accidental changes to images. Sometimes it is difficult to even notice when one accidentally changes metadata on an image.
    Thanks for your thoughts

    Yes it's a bug. I see it on Mac platform.

  • Rating / Label "Buttons" active, although not shown in Grid View

    While I was investigating the reason for JPEG images being written back with no obvious changes applied to them (see also How to filter on Metadata Status "Has been changed"?) I noticed something I think is a bug:
    Becaus it sometimes happened to me that I unintentially changed the rating for a picture because I wanted to click into the frame of an image to select it as the only image, I have set my Library View Options as follows for Compact Cell Extras (for a better description also see Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?):
    Index Number checked
    Top Label checked with File Name
    Rotation unchecked
    Bottom Label unchecked with Rating and Label
    Now, if I click into the area, where rating or color label would show (if shown), the rating of the images changes. So I am clicking on an option I don't even see ...
    This was one of the reasons, why metadata in pictures sometimes  would get updated without me knowing why. Anybody else who has experienced this behaviour?

    P.S: My workaround now is to have Common Photo Settings shown in the bottom label.

  • Lightroom 4.4: Only 3 thumbnails will display at a time in both Grid view and the Film Strip

    Hi. I have Lightroom 4.4. and Windows 7--both of which have been working fine for several months. Starting a few days ago, however, thumbnails have refused to load for any NEW photos I import. They appear gray/blank in both Grid view and the film strip. However, if you click on any of the film strip thumbnails (while in either Grid view or Develop mode), that thumbnail and corresponding image WILL load--until up to three have done so. Then they begin disappearing again, allowing you to view no more than three images' thumbnails at any one time.
    I can't review a shoot via Grid mode this way. I'm also afraid to use Lightroom while it's misbehaving, for fear of corrupting the catalog somehow (though all the images appear to be there). Searching this forum, I found several people who experienced having all of their thumbnails blank out and who were able to correct this by either reinstalling or removing their color profiling software. However, 1) I did this (and it didn't work), and 2) it isn't that all my thumbnails that have disappeared. All the thumbnails and images imported prior to the bug, still initially display correctly.* And I can get three thumbnails of the newer images to appear at a time.
    *The asterisk is because after I poked around some more, I realized that if I opened other folders and began post-processing images from older uploads (vs. just viewing them), the thumbnails that initially displayed correctly everywhere also blank out and begin appearing in this up-to-three-at-a-time fashion.
    Help, please?
    With many thanks,
    Rita

    Alas, it didn't work. I did it twice--the second time rebooting the computer before starting Lightroom. I didn't expect the reboot to make a difference, but I did discover something else in the process: the second time I tried this, I accidentally opened a different catalog--and new photos imported just FINE into that one, thumbnails and all! For one moment I thought the reboot HAD made the difference. However, when I reopened the catalog I actually wanted, the original problem remained. Thumbnails don't load with import, and, when forced, only display up to three at a time.
    So the problem seems specific to this catalog.
    And yes--thank you for affirming that reinstalling Lightroom wouldn't work, either. (I forgot to mention that's what I had tried first. It didn't help--but it's nice to know it wasn't supposed to.)
    Thank you so much for your reply. Do you have any other ideas, please?
    With many thanks, truly,
    Rita

  • How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

    Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
    Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
    I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

    I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

  • ITunes 9 grid view background color?

    It seems iTunes 9 has changed the background color of grid view from black to white. How can I change it back? I can't find anything in preferences or the iTunes help manual. Thank you for the help

    *Thank you Apple* for bringing the *Dark Grid View Background* back!
    I'm all for change if it improves things. But I'm not sure the latest iTunes look change is all for the better.
    The dark Grid View background was just one thing.
    The new iTunes store look doesn't do it for me either. It's just a sea of icons on white background. Everything drowns in a blur of color specks...

  • Can't drag & drop thumbnails in grid view

    Version 1.2: While in Grid view, I am unable to drag and drop thumbnails to manually sort. I am grabbing from the center of the thumbnail and the thumbnail turns to the dotted rectangle. However, when I drag, nothing happens.
    Has anybody encountered this?

  • Movie thumbnail previews in Coverflow and Grid view...not there

    I'm using Snow Leopard and have both QT-X and QT 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro.
    In Finder, I have a folder containing several movie types including mpeg, avi, mov, qt, m4v, mp4, flv and wmv
    I've noticed that I don't see thumbnail previews for any of these movies and wondered if anybody else can see their thumbnails, either in Grid View or Coverflow
    In 3-column view, the thumbail appears once the file is highlighted.
    In iTunes, the thumbnail also appears (for those that can be added to the Library)
    I also have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac apps installed.
    I've tried re-launching Finder after deleting the com.apple.quicklook.plist file
    Thanks

    I also tried this (deleting the Quicklook cache) and no luck, still the same issue.
    I did a clean installation and this works
    However, I did again the installation and imported my USER profile in FULL via the assistant when you first configured Snow Leopard (using an FULL BACKUP copy and/or Time Machine Backup) and then problem reappears
    I have reinstalled DivX, Desinstalled RealPlayer deinstalled Perian and still the same issue. I cannot see the Thumbnails or the Cover Flow of the video/movie file such MPG, MPG, AVI, WMV but it works for MP4 I have for my IPod
    I finally gave up and left this last installation and I did not have the energy to migrate my data, emails, settngs, etc manually.
    By the way, the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8 towards Snow Leopard 10.6 was smooth but the performance was awful specially after installing 10.6.1. With the upgrade I had the same issue with my USER account or with any, NO THUMBSNAILs for most of my videos enough though they are played correctly in Quicktime and Quicklook....
    Any help????

  • Thumbnails not visible in Library Grid View

    In LR 1.0 on Mac OS X, after converting from Beta 4.1, my thumbnail images are not visible in the Library Grid View, except for just a brief moment when I first click on a Folder (Shoot) name. The images then disappear, leaving just the background.
    Double clicking on an image background brings up the image correctly in Loupe View.
    Did I miss something in the conversion?
    Many thanks!
    (Mac OS X 10.4.8, Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 6.5 RAM)

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem, (windows xp)
    Besides the thumbnails not being visible, when I open LR 1.0, it shows my folder structure as imported, with the number of files per folder, but right after that, the folder names start to gray out, and the number of pictures in each folder goes to "0" . The pictures are still there.
    For each keyword it shows 0 pictures, until I click on that keyword, then it shows the number of pictures for that keyword.
    I did uninstall 4.1, and deleted the database, I don't know if this is related to some left over Beta 4.1 somewhere in there.( my old identity plate still shows) I had no issues, other than being slow when using beta 4.1, I had only imported pictures on a as needed basis( in 4.1), and not the whole folder structure. ( as I want to do with LR 1.0 )
    Any solutions ? ( other than uninstall and trying to to a better job of cleaning up, before re installing ? )
    P.S. about 1000 files ( jpg,tiff,psd) did not get imported due to errors, but most of them were in my 4.1 library with no problems.
    P.S 2 the keywords were entered either in bridge or ID imager, and written back to the files, I never used beta 4.1 to enter keywords, just used it to search them.
    P.S 3 ( sorry this is getting too long...) it crashed on import 5 times, about 20,000 files, internal HD just for pics.
    thank you,

  • Bug: thumbnails not displaying on library grid view

    Since using v1.0 the thumbnails will not display on the grid view (there is simply a grid of empty grey squares which can be clicked on). All beta versions worked fine. I started a new library with no improvement. All other screens work as expected. Using Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

    joel, I'm experiencing the same issue - the thumbnails start to appear but once they get to the point where they would be fully loaded, they disappear. I used beta as well, and that worked perfectly fine. Just sent in a ticket to the customer support at adobe, hopefully they can help with a solution. I'm only running the trial version of lightroom.
    Where you able to figure out a solution?

  • LR1 slow to display clear thumbnails in grid view

    I'm still using LR1 (1.4.1)
    My setup:
    -quadcore Intel, @2.8 Ghz
    -Vista x64 SP1
    -8GB ram
    -LR install on OS disk
    -system page file, and LR catalog and previews installed on a raid0 (stripe) pair of disks
    -Photos themselves on yet another disk
    -All disks are SATA2
    -Selected all photos in the catalog, and saved metadata
    -The write xmp on change flag is unchecked
    -I optimized my catalog
    -I removed the previews directory, selected all photos in the catalog (16K) and did a generate 1:1 preview (2048 pixel, high quality, never delete them), and I also did a generate standard previews as well.
    -I turned off Vista indexing of the previews directory and the photos directory
    -I don't have a dedicated Virus scanner running
    Work flow:
    I chose a day's worth of photos from the navigator on the left, and set a keyword in the keyword "spraycan". I start scrolling (with the mouse wheel) down through the grid.
    Issue:
    right off the bat it takes about 2 seconds or so for the thumbnails to become clear - they start off quite pixelated. I start "spraying" photos with my keyword. I scroll down to the next page full of thumbnails. It takes another 2 sometimes a bit more seconds before I can see what's in the thumbnails (until they sharpen). It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when I have a lot of keywords to add, I really want to be able to scan quickly through the patch of photos and quickly tag them. That 2 seconds each time I scroll really starts to drag.
    I with that LR would be able to in the backround sharpen the thumbnails in the Grid, so that when I scroll they are ready for me. Or perhaps I'm missing something with my optimization or configuration?
    Thanks for listening,
    Damon

    iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
    However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
    I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.

  • Color shift @ grid view

    Exported a couple of pics from LR3 (both JPG and NEF) as DNG, moved them to LR4: Correct color in dev mode, but in grid view or pressing e to view a single pic its color is significantly shifted (reredering previews did not help).

    You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.
