Missing thumbnails in Bridge

I'm running PS Elements 6 for Mac OSX under Snow Leopard. I was able to see thumbnail images in Bridge for raw images until I had to re-install Elements. Now some raw images are displayed as thumbnails whilst many more appear only as an icon which resembles a white rectangle with the top right hand corner turned in. Could someone please help rectify this problem.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your reply. However, I have put the Camera Raw plugin
(version 5_5_1) into the Bridge CS3 plugins folder and it has made
difference whatsoever.
Do you have any other ideas? I have attached a screen grab image
showing that an example of a Raw thumbnail and the white icons.

Missing thumbnails in Bridge CS4

Can anyone explain why some of my .PSD thumbnails have gone missing from Bridge CS4? The files show as simply the PSD icon. These are large files (~200MB). If I highlight the files in a folder, right-click, and 'Purge cache for selection', the thumbnails immediately appear but then disappear one by one as the little wheel in bottom left corner of Bridge revolves and the number of full file extractions counts down. I've completely purged the cache via Bridge and in the cache folder by hand. In Bridge Preferences I've set the maximum file size at 3000MB. The odd thing is that thumbnails of similar size files disappear in some folders but not others. Some .TIF files have also disappeared. Smaller files (less than 100MB) seem ok. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Is there any chance that your cache file is too small to hold all the thumbnail data? If so it could be erasing the large ones to make room for others.
Have to compacted the cache to get rid of orpan files?
Are you using quick or HQ thumbnails? If memory and speed are considerations try quick thumbs.

Missing thumbnails in Bridge-CS2

After importing from the CF card into LR 1 and processing in the Develop module, I no longer see thumbnails of NEF files in Bridge of CS2. The files open in CS2 as usual but an icon only appears in Bridge describing the file as NEF.

Missing Thumbnails in CS5 bridge

I just got Photoshop CS5 and for the first time decided to use Bridge that comes with Photoshop. My problem is that Bridge doesn't show thumbnails for all my files. Some folders of images have a few thumbnails missing, other folders have a lot of thumbnails missing. One of my folders have over half of the image thumbnails missing. An icon shows up instead. I can still double click these icons to open the image in Photoshop but I can't see the image in advance of opening it. I found a whole lot of info on the adobe web site concerning thumbnails in a lot of various products. But nothing seemed to match what I'm experiencing. In fact a lot that I read leaves me more confused. Anyone else having this problem and have an answer?

Some NEF and some TIFF. None of those have missing thumbnails, but then I don't have very many of each.
Just got an upgrade to Bridge this morning, version 4.0.5.11. After it installed I checked for a change in the thumbnail problem. No fix.
ACR is version 6.4.1.145

Maintain changes in Thumbnail in Bridge

I had some issues with Bridge a few days ago. The typical view of thumbnails I was used to, where underneath my thumbnail was some info (date/time/name/size) was missing, it was just the thumbnails. I reset my workspace and got back to the view I was used to. But now I have a different issue. When I open an image in Camera Raw, process it, then close it, the changes don't appear in the thumbnails in Bridge. This is new. I've used Adobe Bridge along with Camera Raw and Photoshop for a decade, all the way back to PS3, and this is the first time I've seen this. Anyone know what's going on, how I can correct it? Thanks, Dave

If you use embedded thumbnails they will not show raw edits. Have to use one of HQ thumbs.

Displaying thumbnails in Bridge CS2

Hello, I've organized the photos from my Canon Digital Rebel XT in Adobe Bridge CS2 (Version 1.0.4.6) for years without a problem. I shoot in RAW and those files are approx. 7 MB in size. I recently received a Canon T3i and the files sizes are approx. 3 times as large and I'm having trouble getting Bridge to display a thumbnail. I can't imagine it's a file size issue since I routinely have .psd files that are 70 MB and larger that I have no trouble having Bridge display a thumbnail. The photos from both cameras are CR2. Is there a settings in Bridge I should adjust?
Any other ideas why I can't get the photos from the new camera to display as thumbnails in Bridge?
Thanks for your help :-)

The fact that they have the same extension is irrelevant. The files are fundamentally different.
The Canon T3i was supported for the first time in ACR 6.4 and later, which only run with CS5.
There is and there will be no version of ACR that will work with Bridge CS2 to open files from the T3i.
Your only option would be to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw CS2 files to raw DNGs that you can then open in CS2.
If you have an Intel Machine, you want version 6.6 of the Adobe DNG Converter. If your machine is older than the Intel Macs, e.g. any kind of Power Mac, then you need version 6.4 of the free Adobe DNG Converter, as later versions will not run on non-Intel machines.

InDesign thumbnails in Bridge CS4

I've noticed that some InDesign CS2 and CS4 files do not show thumbnails in Bridge CS4. I tried the Build and Export Cache function in the Tools menu and nothing changed. Any suggestions?
Also, I would be interested in a Bridge extension for harvesting thumbnails for old PageMaker 6.5 and 7 files.

Here is a link that has the same problem. No real jump in your face solultion, but hopefully it will help guide you.

Help! can't see CR2 thumbnails In Bridge

what can I try?
I cannot see the thumbnails in Bridge but can go into CS4 and open them up no problem
I shoot Canon 5d Mark II
I downloaded Camera Raw 5.3
works fine for my regular 5D but no on the new Mark II
any suggestions?
thanks!

Hi - Joan's husband here (I built the computer hardware for her, but don't
really know Photoshop that well). I did a search for "camera raw" files and
found a second instance located in the adobe/common files folder (not in
program file subfolders as the proper plugin is located per instructions).
It was the 5.0 version, and I could not do anything with it, eg delete it as
it "was in use by a program", even though I had no prgrams open. I was able
to rename it to "old camera raw 5-0", and I copied the new camera raw 5.4
version into that folder. I rebooted and now had 3 camera raw plugins
appearing in CS4/hlep/about/plugins drop down list.
I then went back into the common file folder and was able to delete the old
camera raw file. I now have two camera raw files appearing in the
help/aboutplugins dropdwon, but they are both the same 5.4 version. Now I am
able to see a selection to generate a high quality thumbnail for the cs2
files in Bridge when I right-clicked on those, and this generated the
thumbnails for all of those file types. All is well now (I hope !!), thanks
for your input and advice.
I did purge the cache, but that didn't change anything as far as I could
tell. Also, the 5.4 update doesn't show the Canon 5D Mark II on the list of
updated cameras for this revision, so I don't think it is a necessary update
for this specific camera, but probably good to stay current.
If this was an "end-run" around a proper fix then I would like to know the
proper way to resolve this.
Best Regards,

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

RAW images from D300 appear as thumbnails in Bridge

I have CS3 and ACR 4.5 and Windows XP, for the past month all RAW files from D300 have loaded perfectly and opened fine. Yesterday, I loaded files and they appear only as thumbnails in Bridge. I am not able to rotate, or apply any adjustments to these thumbnails. If I double-click them, they open as RAW files in ACR, and I can proceed and work on them as I normally would.
Another strange thing: all of the other files I have loaded from my D300 now react the same way, even though they were perfectly fine before. Images from D2x are fine.
Should I try to uninstall/reinstall Bridge? Any other suggestions? There have been similar threads here, but not this specifically.
thanks
alan

I just experienced the same phenomenon. It actually started in the middle of a session working in the Bridge. Other then the thumbnail appearing there were a couple of other strange symptoms I noticed when this happened to me.
1. If first happened to some files, then got worse as I went back and forth between folders. However, it never effected all the raw files. Some stayed as normal.
2. It effected .ORF files and .DNG files equally.
3. For both files effected and those not effected it created a corresponding .XMP file in the folders
4. If used the DNG converter to convert the ORF files to DNG the resulting DNG files appeared as normal thumbnails.
In any event the reset suggested by Curt did work, and restored everything back to normal.

No Thumbnails in Bridge CS5

I have no thumbnail previews Bridge CS5, just empty boxes.

I have installed cs5 extended.
bridge will not create thumbnails for my RAW images from the canon t2
1/550
the newest RAW plugin update is dated April 21, the RAW plugin which installs with CS5 is dated April 3 I believe??
I downloaded the April 21 RAW update and replaced the RAW file formats that came with CS5, with the latest as directed on the Adobe Website.
Now bridge will not create thumbnails for any RAW files from the Canon 40D on up
Photoshop will open all RAW files fine including all supported as of April 21, including all RAW formats supported with the RAW file format updates from April 21,
and the RAW converter works fine, and saves the T2i CR images in DNG format as well.
However nothing works in Bridge, and and cannot import using bridge and convert to DNG simultaneously.
Is there a fix for bridge and this problem?
Thanks

.NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

.NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

I have:
PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
The computer found 6 files named Camera Raw.8bi. They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has >Program Files>.
When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.
