How do I preview my DNGs?

At this point, converting to DNG files is causing my workflow to seriously suffer because I don't know what pictures I am looking at. There has got to be a way to preview them!
What should I do?
IOS Widows 7, Vista Ultimate
DNG converter 6.4
Photoshop CS4 w/Camera Raw update

They can be shown via Bridge, or if you install a DNG viewing codec, in Windows - just make sure you update the previews or you'll be looking at "old news".

How To Selectively Preview In Camera Raw?

I was reading in one of the Photoshop magazines that there was a way to selectively preview attributes in Camera Raw but I can't remember how to do it.
To be more specific: When you are working in one of the develop tabs ( any of the upper left special tabs) in camera raw and toggle the preview button it only shows you the preview for that specific tab (compared to the original raw file). I want to know how I can preview the original image compared to ALL of the attributes I've changed at once OR only preview the one specific attribute that I've changes compared to the original raw file.
Does anyone know how to do this? Please advise.

Terminology-wise, your description of what you want seems to be off a little, since there's not really an "original raw file" per se.
There are the settings you started with, i.e., the Camera Raw Defaults (if the raw file has not been opened before) - or - the stored Image Settings for this raw file (if you opened it before). I'm assuming what you're asking for is a way to see the current entire batch of settings, vs. what you started with.
When you make control changes, the set of parameters is now considered Custom Settings.
The way that comes to mind to compare is to click the fly-out menu icon and choose Image Settings (i.e., the settings you started with), or Custom Settings (i.e., your current changes since starting with the image this session).

Unfortunately, I know of no way to assign keys to menu items in Camera Raw. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that I don't know of a way.

How do you preview using a spool request number

How do you preview using a spool request number?
I have an application in which I have accumulated the results from several smartforms into one spool request. I have the spool request number, and am printing it using function RSPO_RPRINT_SPOOLREQ.
I need to be able to preview the contents of the spool request before printing. I can not preview when generating the smartforms, as that involves several previews, and I need to preview once only per spool request.
I have been trying to use RSPO_RDISPLAY_OUTREQ but it dumps immediately (line 47) with field symbol <FTSP01> not assigned.
Suggestions?

How to get Preview to be Safari's default PDF viewer

I mistakenly downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader, after being advised by a state tax website. I wish I had first tested my existing configuration because Safari/Preview had always worked just fine for viewing PDF (with the Feds!), but I didn't. Adobe A. Reader "asked me" if I wanted to make it the default reader of PDF, and mistake number two, I clicked yes. Then I realized I didn't like A.A.Reader compared with Preview, so I threw it out (I coudn't find any uninstall function). After that Preview worked for PDF files already on my computer, but not in Safari. Safari Help said there is a toolbar that can be accessed by putting the pointer over the bottom center of the (SafarI) browser window and then 4 buttons are supposed to appear, one saying "open PDF with Preview." I cant seem to get this toolbar to appear!
I hope there is someone clever out there to tell me how to get Preview to open PDF files in Safari again.
Message was edited by: blckhed OK, just like the mistake I made with A. A. Reader, I should've looked through the discussions 1st (blame it on tax fatigue) because I found the answer in response to "Adobe Reader messed up Preview & Safari for me. What now." I removed the offending AAP plugins from the Internet Plugins folder (Mac HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins) and everything is back to normal. Thanks Apple Discussions!

HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

Hello dear Mac users
How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
I hope someone will understand my needs...
Thanks!

Thanks BeerbarX
You can't change the preview image for anything

MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

How do I process raw .dng or .pef from pentax k20d into .tiff 's (or jpegs) in aperture 3?

hi all my friends!
how do I process raw .dng or .pef from a pentax k20d into tiffs or jpegs in aperture 3? (i have the trial only but will buy a3 if i actually can learn how to use it in 30 days...which i've failed so far)... the raw files are taking up too much space on my HDD. i understand how to change the colors, sharpness etc of the raw files. but how do i actually turn raw files into a tiff or jpeg to just keep in the library in aperture? i have no intention of keeping the raw's.. I just shoot raw to get better jpeg or tiff results.
also I would greatly appreciate some tips how to do this in batches fast and easy. I have yet to yield images so good i will actually want to spend time perfecting them. for now i just want an easy way to turn raw files into tiffs or jpegs with some standard or completely auto mode. i can do it in camera but it is time consuming.
and you cant convert raw to jpeg or tiff in iphoto, right?
best regards, Joakim
p.s. and thank you who will answer this...i can't find the answer anywhere...tried for a whole day... d.s.

do you know if the raw files are some way made more compact when you shut down aperture? cause i mean, +20MB for a pic is a lot of space on the hard drive vs. 5MB for a jpeg or so...of course keeping your raws would be the optimum if they simply don't take that much more space than a jpeg... how does aperture do it? are the files "zipped" when not in use?
No, the size of the files doesn't change, Aperture doesn't compress or otherwise alter the masters.
and in either case, can you put the aperture archive/library somewhere else than on your local HD, like a portable 1 TB HD? mine is only 250 Gb or so and running low...
This is doable and most people running on laptops use this method in one form or another. The best results are obtained by keeping the library on the internal HD but storing the masters on an external HD. The masters in this case are referred to as 'referenced' (when the masters are in the actual Aperture library they are referred to as 'managed' )
By putting the masters on an external disk but keeping the library on the internal you get the best of both worlds, reduced internal disk consumption and better speed accessing the Aperture library. If the library itself was on the external HD, especially if it was USB, you could notice decreased performance.
There has been much written about this type of setup here in the discussions. Searching the list here should get many articles discussing this topic with lots of very good advice. Also spend some tim with the User manual, Apple did a good job with it and the fist few sections really explain the various bits of the library and the different ways to set it up.
As i wrote in my first question, is there an easy way to adjust the values of a 100 raw files automatically?
To adjust a large number of images try this: Select one image and adjust it as you like. Then select Metadata->Lift Adjustments, a HUD will open. Now select the other 99 images and in the HUD that opened select Stamp Selected Images, all those 99 images will now have the adjustments you applied to the first image.
Again this is all covered in the manual.
Good luck

How do I preview .eps or .ai files in Bridge CC?

How do I preview .eps or .ai files in Bridge CC? I only see the icon thumbnail and the file name but not a preview pic of what is in the file.

Sounds like normal, expected behavior, but…
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Preview new DNG files in CS3 Bridge

Hi All,
I have Bridge CS3. It previews existing DNG files just fine, but when I drop new DNG files in the folder - while bridge is running - they show up as just icons - no preview. I have to wipe the cache and restart bridge in order to see the pictures.
It'd be useful to just drop the files in a folder, and they would be immediately availble for preview in bridge.
Any suggestions?
thanks

thanks for the quick reply.
Click on another folder, and then back - no change.
Purge cache - Tools->Cache->Purcge Cache for folder "test"
Local folder on C drive hard disk.
Press f5/refresh - no change.
JPG files work file
Same thing happens with PSD files, but purging the cache works.
Only thing that works is for me to purge the cache and restart bridge.
My Camera can only output DNG or PEF raw files. Bridge does not even recognize PEF files.

How can i preview my persona in firefox if not submitted yet firefox 10.0.2, I cannot find the option

You can probably do that by installing a persona and replace the two file lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer with your persona files.<br />
Otherwise you need the Personas Plus extension.

AE CS6: How to Ram preview or playback in smooth real-time everytime?

Hi guys,
I would like to know how to Ram preview or playback in smooth real-time everytime? I'm using a videohive template and adding in my footages to the media holder comps. The AE template is complex I guess.
Hee's the problem, everytime I make a change to text, add a footage replacement or make any change at all, I have to completely render and wait a long time to see my final product in "Real-time"/smooth. Is there someway that I can render out the whole thing once and even though I make a change the entire video will play smoothly without rendering time?
PC Specs:
HP 510t
Windows 8 Pro x64 bit
16GB Ram
i7 2600 CPU @3.4 GHz
GTX 660Ti

Proxies don't affect rendering beyond the point of reducing the resolution and thus the nuimer of pixels that need to be processed, but since the retain the effect properties at full resolution, e.g. a large blur still renders just as slow. They are more a means of reducing file I/O bandwidth while working really.... As I said, the best way to optimize this would probably be to restructure the project so parts that don't change reside in separate pre-compositions and can use the disk cache.

How do you preview a composition fit the intended viewport?

Hi from 20 degrees C York UK :-)
Ok I just finished a composition for an iphone, when watched on After effects it looks a good size but when I saw it on the intended iPhone it was too small. So my question is please...
"How can you preview a movie clip / composition so it has the same scale as the intended output. Put another way, If my video clip is for YouTube how can I preview to see if my movie clip looks the right size before export."
Thanks in advance,
David

Of course it was smaller but what do you mean by "too small?" Do you mean, say, the text you created at full high def is illegible on the iPhone? There are minimum pixel dimensions and specifications for discernible detail, try googling "minimum visual content for iPhone" or something like that. Try searching the Apple site for developer specifications and suggestions for minimum pixel dimensions for accurately discerning detail.
The iPhone 5s screen has only 1136 x 640 discreet pixels. My anecdotal experience suggests minimum legible text is about 20 pixels when viewed at arm's length, a meter or more. Text on websites can be much smaller because it scales as vectors. Video presents fixed pixels; they don't scale, they just get bigger and blockier.

How do i preview before printing

Hi hope you are doing well and enjoying a great day;
Most Applications have their own previews and are different in terms on how to get there although most are in the print menu. If this does not answer your question can you be more specific on what you are trying to accomplish and I will do my best to assist you further.

How do I preview overprinting white ink (spot color) or a tint thereof?

how do I preview overprinting white ink (spot color) or a tint thereof?

Illustrator's overprint preview always assumes the translucency of offset litho inks. It doesn't accommodate per ink opacity.
And it's not an impossibiliy; it's just not a feature of Illustrator. Photoshop does it in multi-channel mode quite handily. That's one big reason why many who design for screen printing build their multi spot color projects in Photoshop, even when the nature of the artwork itself might argue in favor of a vector drawing program.
For example, imagine artwork involving reptile skin. A piece designed for screen printing might call for laying down a dark green ink first, overprinting a yellow-green for highlights, and overprinting a white for speculars on top of that. And if set up correctly in Photoshop, Photoshop's composite would preview it quite well. But Illustrator's Overprint Preview won't, and neither will its normal Preview.
You could cause Illustrator's normal Preview to simulate the end results by applying a slight transparency effect to objects which have the lighter overprinting inks. But that is not the same thing as being able to specify the opacity of the ink which a spot color Swatch represents. Doing it would wreck the separations as Illustrator flattens the transparency effect.
So it is what it is: If you want to preview an overprinting opaque ink in Illustrator, you just have to go with the normal Preview (not Overprint Preview) which previews overprinting objects as if they knockout, even when they don't.
