Jpeg thumbnails too small when saved from Photoshop

Since moving to Snow Leopard, I notice that the Finder shows jpegs saved from Photoshop quite a bit smaller than jpegs saved using other apps, like Preview or just scanned images. This makes viewing the thumbnails in the Finder harder. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
I would post a screen grab to show this, but I can't see how to do that here. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks

That's because Photoshop creates its own rather smallish icons (by the new standards) for the files. If you remove custom thumbnails and let Finder draw them they'll be scalable all the way up to 512x512. There is a preference from within Photoshop to tell it to NOT create icons. Go to PS prefs, select Saving Files, and turn off Image Previews. The advantage is that the icons can be drawn larger; the disadvantage is that they will appear in Finder more slowly, since instead of simply displaying what is there Finder has to draw the icons. Furthermore, Finder doesn't always draw the icons with the clarity one would expect: sometimes they never do appear as sharp as they ought to be (there are several very lengthy threads discussing this problem, with no real solution), sometimes they slowly appear in all their large glory.
Oh, and to post a picture, as in my signature, you have to have the image available somewhere online, then add an image tag.

Why are 3D objects incredibly small when exported from Photoshop CS6?

When I attempt to export 3D objects for use in Apple's iBooks Author software—say, a Collada 3D model of Earth for a children's science book—from Photoshop CS6, the object comes out impossibly small or completely invisible. It will work just fine in Photoshop, but if I view it in Finder using Quick Look, open it in Preview, or drop it into an iBooks Author project, the object appears so small that it's useless. No amount of scaling it in said software corrects the issue, either.
What happened? Is there a new export preset I'm missing? I used this exact same process in Photoshop CS5, and it worked wonderfully.
Thank you!

HI,
Am also having similar problem with exporting 3d model into ibook or iauthor.
Any help ?

Lightroom not updating when saved from Photoshop export

I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64, and had to reload both my Lightroom and CS4, and have just run into this issue when I export from Lightroom to Photoshop. It used to work fine (with my previous installation in XP x64) that when I hit Ctrl+S in Photoshop it would immediately update the view of the file in LR. This was extremely useful since i run two 24" calibrated LCDs, then I could immediately see in the lR monitor (usually at 50-100% zoom) if I liked my local adjustments (that are always zoomed to 300%+) in Photoshop wihtout having to change zoom level in Photoshop. Now to get LR to show any Photoshop update after a Ctrl+S, I have to click back into LR and then move forward and backward (I use arrow keys) between images to get LR to update the display. Any reason this would now be happening, is there some setting in LR to get it to detect the file save and change from Photoshop.
Any help or ideas appreciated, this is killing my edit time and frustration level!

I totally forgot about this issue. You have to actually go set the Photoshop.exe file to be your second editor in LR preferences and then it will complain about PS being already setup, you select 'Use Anyway' and then when you right-click in LR and choose 'Edit In' select the 2ndary Photoshop editor you just setup and it will bring up the dialog about what settings to use for the image and then dump it into PS. After that as you Ctrl+S in PS it will auto-update the display in LR.
Self-Solved... hope this helps someone!

Why are colors faded when saving from Photoshop? And other weird things...

I'm working on a file that's a CMYK default US Web Coated SWOP v2 file. I've tried saving to tiff and jpg from this file and both save faded versions. See below:
Here's how it looks in PS:
And as a jpg:
And then another very bizarre thing... I saved it as a pdf to see how the colors would look and when viewing it in acrobat pro, I saw this:
....this is the same exact file as the other 2... Nothing was changed other than saving as pdf... Now I have 2 questions!
Thanks for your help and expertise,
Sarah

If you're not having you images printed professionally in publications why are you editing in CMYK. Displays and inkjet devices are RGB devices CMYK images need be converted when used on these devices. If in every step color management is used and all devices calibrated well colors should be quit consistent however color management is not always used and colors will be off when color management is not done. Photoshop is color managed is photoshop the only software you're using for your images. No Image viewers, no browsers, no document application etc.
Also when I save the above image you state is a jpeg Its save as an png file with some Display color profile. You need yo look into color management and what you useing as your color setting in Photoshop and hd.ow progile mismatches are handle.
In fact all three image are png file Color mode is RGB 8bit all have a display color profile all are different in sizes and at least one has different content. All are different yet you claim they are the same.

Stop Lightroom from forcing "-edit" rename and saving in the same directory when saved from Photoshop

After opening a file from Lightroom 5 in photoshop, is there a way to disable the function that automatically saves a file back to Lightroom in the same folder, while adding the infuriating "-edit" to the filename? I keep my files in a very tight file structure, with DNGs, PSDs, and JPGs all neatly separated. It drives me batty that when I save a file it saves it in the same directory as the DNG. Why would anyone want this as a feature. STOP IT!
I know I can simply "Save As" but there has to be a way to turn this off.

I know you can have Lightroom change the appended "-edit" (via Preferences) to practically anything you'd like but as far as I know, it's all by design. Photoshop/Lightroom will always save a copy and leave your original files alone. To be honest, I'd want all my edits contained to where the original file was as well. As long as they're in the same folder, I'm happy.

'ORA-06502 character string buffer too small' when called from C# app

I have researched this problem and checked my variable sizes over and over again. I have tested the procedure within the Oracle Express environment and it works fine; HOWEVER, when the procedure is called from my C# app it produces the ORA-06502 error.
The stored procedure signature looks like this...
create or replace save_new_project (p_custorgid in number,
p_title in varchar2,
p_AOIName in varchar2,
p_description in varchar2,
p_receiveddate in date,
p_deadlinedate in date,
p_startdate in date,
p_createddate in date,
p_createdby in varchar2,
p_projectid out number,
p_statustypedescrip out varchar2)The OracleParameter in my C# app for the last out param is defined as such...
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("p_statustypedescrip", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 30, ParameterDirection.Output));As I said at the beginning of this post, the procedure works fine in the Oracle environment. So why is it not working by simply calling it from C#? I've tried changing the OracleDbType to CLOB which eliminates the error but it returns a bizarre result. It returns this string, "Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleClob". WTH?!!
Since CLOB doesn't really work either I switch back to Varchar2 and specify a size of 5000 (in the database the field I am querying is defined as Varchar(30)). I still get the ORA-06502 error.
I am clueless as to what the problem is. It should work and it does if I run a series of SQL statements in an Oracle SQL Command window. The test that works fine looks like this...
declare
v_projid projects.projectid%type;
v_statustypedescrip projectstatustypes.type%type; /* this is a varchar(30) */
begin
save_new_project(2, 'Some input text goes here', 'More input text', 'And more again','26-APR-2007','26-APR-2007','26-APR-2007','26-APR-2007','users name as inpujt text here',v_projid,v_statustypedescrip);
dbms_output.put_line('v_projid = ' || v_projid);
dbms_output.put_line('v_statustypedescrip = ' || v_statustypedescrip);
end;But calling save_new_project from C# throws ORA-06502. It identifies line 40 of my stored procedure. This is line 40...
p_statustypedescrip := v_statustypedescrip;

Problem solved!!!
I don't know why this worked but it did. I changed how I declared the output parameter in my C# app. I used to have it on one line like this...
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("p_statustypedescrip", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 30, ParameterDirection.Output));but then I changed it to multiple lines like this...
OracleParameter prm11 = new OracleParameter();
prm11.ParameterName = "p_statustypedescrip";
prm11.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Varchar2;
prm11.Size = 30;
prm11.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm11);I don't know why it works this way but it does and that's all I care about.

Shared menu missing when saving from Photoshop CS6

I'm using Yosemite on an iMac and I am currently connected to two servers. I can open and save files from just about every application except Photoshop CS6. For example, I click File > Open and the shared menu isn't there with the servers listed underneath. Also, if I try to Save As, that dialog box is missing the shared menu with the servers listed as well. I've been working around it by opening files from Finder, or by opening recent folders from those servers, but if the server I need to save to isn't recent, it becomes a problem. I'm a graphic designer and I work with Photoshop a lot, so I really need this to work. Is there a preference I'm not seeing that will put the shared menu back on the Open and Save As dialog boxes?

I take that back. I just downloaded the update 10.10.1 and the shared menu is back. Thank you! That makes my life so much easier!

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.
Would like to be able to give it a name before saving it, or at least have a rename function in iBooks.
Can use Preview and rename it in Downloads and then move it to iBooks. Very cumbersome.
Thanks.

Has anyone solved the problem of 'oop,file too small' when uploading iMovie project to Vimeo.

Vimeo says ' oops, file too small' when I try to upload an iMovie project. My file is definitely big enough. Any clues, please?

It's OK, I've cracked it with the help of my son.

How do I select paper type when printing from Photoshop?

Sorry to be a total technotard, but in the olden days, I could select paper type (e.g. glossy photo) from the print menu when printing from Photoshop. Now there is no way to select paper type, at least not that I can find. Is this an Adobe thing? Cuz I can't figure out how to do it from InDesign either. I'd like to be able contol image quality as well. Thanks in advance for any help... I'm wading around in all these forums trying to find a simple answer and am having no luck...

"hp website says the driver is built-in to the new macs, and I don't need to d/l a new one"
First of all, this is a crock. And a very tiresome one, as it's been used as an excuse not to post drivers for download.
The driver is not "built into" a Mac. There may be some version of it installed IF you happened to install hundreds upon hundreds of gigabytes of printer drivers (the vast majority of which are obsolete and brands you've never nor will ever own) when you installed the OS. This view is just so idiotic, as you won't have installed every HP driver ever made if you didn't own an HP printer or plan to hook it up to that computer.
Apple compounds the problem by not giving you any way to pick and install a printer driver. Seriously, in 2009. And this in addition to the Mac's inability to detect a new printer after you plug it in, and ask if you want to install a driver. People tolerate that while making fun of Windows, which has been detecting new hardware and prompting for drivers since what, 1995?
Anyway, I believe it was HP who complained that they "didn't have room on their servers" to offer drivers for download. Unfrigginbelievable.
Nobody who pays any attention to their printing should even consider an HP printer. That's how incompetent their drivers are, for both platforms.
Sad.

Viewinging RAW files as thumbnail images when opening from Photoshop - not working?

I have just installed Photoshop CC on my new Windows 8.1 OS computer and when I try to open one of my RAW files into Photoshop from the Photoshop 'open file' menu item I can only see file icons rather than the thumbnail pictures that are in the folders? I can view the thumbnails just fine from Bridge but not when opening directly from Photoshop? I can view all jpg's but no RAW files (both Canon and Sony RAW). I tried installing the Microsoft Camera Codec for Windows 8.1 but it won't install - error message says "not intended for this operating system" in spite of the fact that it explicitly states it is for Windows 8.1? Any ideas on what to do to be able to view the thumbnail images?
Thanks in advance.
