No .dng Preview in Finder or Quick Look; File Dimensions 0x0.

Can see Canon .CR2 raw file preview in finder and quick look. Can see file dimensions.
Cannot see same files converted in Lightroom to DNGs. File dimensions listed as 0x0.
CAN see older DNG files processed exactly the same way. All files stored in an external WD 2TB drive. Just for fun dragged an old DNG file to that drive and the preview works fine.
OSX 10.9
Latest Adobe Camera Raw
Latest Adobe Lightroom
Rebooted, emptied caches, reindexed Spotlight, and on and on and on.
Apple bug? Adobe bug? Or another situation where they are blaming each other and the professionals relying on their products enjoy yet more frustration. Don't get me started on the color management fiasco of not so long ago...
Thanks!

Here is the situation: I use Spotlight to search, and
find a bunch of things I want to look at, including
some PDF files, which I click to open in Preview.
Now, I want to send some of these documents, or at
least one of them, as an email attachment using
Mail.app. What to do?
One way to do this is to use the "Mail PDF" item in the PDF Services group of items under the PDF "menu" in the Print Dialog. For multiple documents, this would mean bringing up the dialog ffor each document, so maybe that is not practical.
You could also create a workflow item using Automator. I am not that familiar with Automator, and you'll have much better luck in the Automator forum, but a quick glance shows an "Add Attachment to Front Message" action as part of Mail.
Hope this helps.

Can't play MP3's from Finder without Quick Look

Not really expecting any relevant answers but I might as well try I guess.
Ok, before:
__ .mp3
Center of this icon had a play button, and it was possible to minimize the window while the song played.
No need for Quick Look or a media player.
Now:
Quick look works.
But as I mentioned, I can't just click a play button in a finder window, as in here with my mouse hovered over the bottom icon.
I don't understand why the icons are different or how to fix this.

Ignore the first two, long story. Anyway:
THEN:
• Icon had a center Play button.
• Could play mp3's inside a miminize-able Finder window.
• No need for media player or Quick Look.
NOW:
Those luxuries are now gone.
Also, Get info shows both icons..
Mp3's play from here, but unlike Finder, there's no Quick Look to track songs when necessary.
• This is an external drive.
• Permissions are fine.
• I always browse in icon view.
• Opening with QuickTime / VLC does not help.
I just want to know a fix without a 3rd party or Terminal.
This happened before and went away.

Quick Look file reading problems in mail.

Are there certain files that quick look will not open in mail?
I have sent myself pdf's, which opened ok, but a photo file, .jpg would not.
(New iPad user, be kind!)

Only those who have downloaded and are trying to export using the flip4mac trial version. If you want to see the 'rest of the story', pony up the cash for a full version.
Have fun.

I can't see my pictures in teh finder using Quick look or Cover flow

I have iPhoto8 installed and it works fine, but I cannot get a look at my library of photos without opening iPhoto. I thought I was supposed to be able to use the finder and cover flow to see my pictures quickly to find the one I wanted without opening iPhoto? When I go to pictures I get the icon for the iphoto program and it says iphoto library, but I cant see pictures. Am I doing something wrong?

OBGYNDR
With iPhoto 7 the old iPhoto Library Folder has become a Unix Style Package folder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of these are safer and fster than surfing the iPhoto Library Folder.

Why the size of the tif file is different in photoshop workspace compare to the Preview in Finder?

1. Why the size of the tif file is different in photoshop's workspace compare to the Preview in Finder?
Please look at the screen captures.
Bottom left panel of Photoshop's workspace.
Finder's Preview.
2. I have an imac with 8gb ram, and assigned 6gb ram to photoshop use. But when I worked on a 24mb tif file, photoshop was lagging. And at the bottom left panel of Photoshop's workspace, the doc size is something/1gb. The tif file is only 24mb, why is it slow in photoshop? I have a lot of ram.
Let me know, please.

Thank you MIchelPM for giving me a very detailed explanation.
So I understood why the photoshop doc size is bigger when working in photoshop.
Regarding to your questions:
1. How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Not even 30% full, I even have a 1TB backup hard drive connected.
2. How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
    I usually only have photoshop or illustrator opened. Sometimes I ran 3-4 tif files at the same time, but when a big file (ex. 24mb tif) gets very slow, I closed all other files and programs, and "purged all" in photoshop, yet that 24mb tif file was still slow.
   I checked photoshop's ram and cpu usage in the activity monitor. Rarely photoshop's cpu usage would hit 100. But when I worked with the 24mb tif file, it would used all the ram that I've allocated to photoshop.
But the myth is, my coworker who worked with the same file in CS4 with only 4gb ram in their imac don't have photoshop slowed down, when I have double the ram and CS6.
3. What year, screen size, CPU speed of your Mac?
   I have 27" imac,
   • 2.9GHz 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB L3 cache,
   • 1TB (7200-rpm) hard drive
   • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory
4. What version of OS X is your Mac using?
    Mountain Lion with the latest updates.
5. What version of Photoshop are you using?
   • Photoshop CS6

Quick Look Full Screen Issue from Desktop

I have an issue with quick looking files in full screen from a screen other than that which is occupied by the Finder.
Example, I have a pdf on my desktop, if I Quick Look it, it opens OK on all screens but if I try to go into full screeen from Quick Look it does not work unless I am on the same screen as the Finder.
On close inspection, this is because the Finder App options is set to 'This Desktop' (control-click on the Finder icon in the dock and choose Options). If I set it to 'None' then this issue cannot be replicated. Anyone think that this is an issue with Lion and Quick Look should not be written this way? This was initially confusing for me and I though that something was broken.

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....

Document content do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow

The contents of all types of appleworks documents do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow on both of my computers. The generic AWKS logo appears.
Why does this happen and what can be done to correct this?
I have repaired permissions a number of times and have restarted the computer.

AppleWorks 6 was written before OS X & long before Leopard & Quick Look. There hasn't even been an update since January 2004. The ability to create the image for Quick Look likely will never happen.

I'm not sure Appleworks files are supported in any form of preview. Appleworks was killed long before any of the preview functions were developed, so I don't suppose its file types were included.
Quicklook has a plugin architecture, so perhaps some programmer that likes Appleworks will create a plugin for it.

Color is Wrong in Preview / Quick Look when viewing photographs

Hi All,
I have a problem in that all my photos and image files look a lot more saturated in Leopard Preview / Quick Look, with much warmer hue, tint and color temp, then they do in either iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop Elements, Safari (or Firefox) when uploaded to the Web and even in my Windows XP VM using the normal Explorer application. The difference is very visibly and is unacceptable when viewing / editing photos.
To summarize, it seems the only place images look different, much more saturated with more warmer tint and hue, is in OS X Leopard Preview and Quick Look.
- I have tried viewing and comparing on another Macbook Laptop and do not notice this problem, which leads me to believe that there is a problem with my system.
- I have also tried creating another user account on my Mac and logging in to preview the images, but it makes no difference.
Can someone please advise as to what I can do to fix the problem?
Thanks,
P

I have noticed the same. Seems like a genuine bug in preview.
Try this for laughs: Open up a picture in Preview and note its too warm colors. Make a screenshot, and view in preview next to the original image. The now magically warmer colors prove this is indeed a bug in preview.
Lightroom, PS, Safari, Opera all show the images in question (JPG, embedded profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1) consistently correctly, with preview being the only exception a lazy comparison could find.
EDIT: This happens only on my external TFT. If I move both the Photoshop and the preview windows to the built-in screen, the Photoshop colors "snap" to look the same on both screens (and the same as preview on the built-in TFT).
There seems to be a problem with preview always applying (correct) color correction for the built-in TFT regardless of whether the image is actually displayed there or on another display. This is probably also only noticeable if built-in TFT and external display have noticeably different color responses (and thus corrections), and only when their colors are corrected.
This really is an annoying bug for photographers or other creative people (which Apple prides itself to cater to).

ICC profile support in Preview and Quick Look

I'm a photographer and I've noticed that Quick Look and Preview do not appear to support ICC colour profiles, is this a bug? I hope so.
JPEG images are over-saturated.

I'm not a professional, only a hobbyist, so it took me a little longer, but I also have the impression that the new Preview ignores ICC profiles.
I noticed it when moving images between my iBooks built-in and my external Eizo screen. Since the gamut of the second is much larger, images appear rather different on the two screens. In Tiger's Preview, this resulted in colors changing suddenly during the move, when the center of the image passed from one screen to the other. This effect is gone and yes, the images are over-saturated on the 'good' screen.
Jethro555, could you find a solution to the problem?

Question: Quick Look in Finder; problems with alpha channels

Hi
"Quick look" in Finder is great for quick presentations of a folders selected contents but it only works with images that contains no alpha channels or masks. Is there any way to work around this to display say PhotoShop documents with alpha channels? Or any plug-ins/applications that can help?
thanks.

This has been broken forever in OS X, and I don't know why, because it used to work just fine. I suspect the engineers did something to QuickTime that causes this problem, but it has been borked for so long I don't remember when the ability to correctly display files went wrong. I just remember that once upon a time all sorts of things from Apple worked correctly in displaying such files, but pretty much nothing does now. This includes the Finder, Preview, QuickLook, and various third-party image browsers that use Apple's own system level image handling abilities, such as VitaminSee or CocoaViewX. When I need to actually see what's there, I browse with Adobe's Bridge.

Quick Look / Preview issues

When I used "Quick Look" on a pdf file in Snow Leopard, the document would fill the entire screen from let to right, making it very easy to read scrolling up and down.
Using Quick Look in Lion, I always get the full document on the screen and can't find a way to blow it up quickly. Same thing in Preview.
Didn't find the old Snow Leopard menu option "Scale large images to fit window" either.
Any ideas? Thanks, C.

I agree with you all, Quick Look functionality has decreased. Also when using Spotlight, it is good that now we can see the quick look by putting the mouse over the file, BUT, on Snow Leopard besides showing the list of files, when you put the mouse over the file, it will tell you the file's path, very useful when you have many files with the same name. I miss that functionality too.
Please people at Apple, add the "Scale large images to fit window" option for Quick Look and also add the file's path to the information that you get from Spotlight.
I really think this two options will make Lion better than Snow Leopard (at least for the Quick Look functionality). Right now it is NOT better that the previous version.
Hope some reads this and makes the suggestion to the appropiate people.

Word documents have a logo image imbedded in Preview & Quick Look

System information:
MacbookPro 17"
2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Snow Leopard OS X Ver. 10.6.2
MS Word 2008 for Mac Ver. 12.2.3 (091001)
Issue:
I can see an image (a black and white logo that I recognize, not Apple or MS related) in certain document previews in Finder. I also see the image if I use Quick Look of the same documents. To my knowledge, I never inserted or embedded this image into the document. If I open the document, the image does not appear. I have tried using the various Views of the document to find and remove the image, but it does not appear in any View type, once opened. The image is a logo that a colleague of mine created, but I have never downloaded it and I have not e-mailed the document back and forth with him. If I copy/paste the text from the affected document to a new document, this seems to eliminate the image, but I am concerned that this may be malicious, that it may have come from using a networked drive at work.

Previewing videos in Quick Look isn't the same in Snow Leopard.

Does previewing videos on Quick Look in Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard no longer allows you to use the two finger gesture to move forward or backwards in the video, or is it just me?

I can not do that either, then again, I never tried it in Leopard so... hope that helps

Quick look, videos and relaunching Finder

After updating to Snow Leopard, I noticed one item right away: My scroll wheel no longer shuttled through the videos in quick look like it did before. Is there a fix, or reason for this?
Also, and more recently, I find myself having to relaunch the Finder if I use the arrow keys to change video files with the Quick Look window open.
And Finally, believe it or not, Quick Look shows .avi files better and faster than .mov and .mp4 (or other QT files). What's up with that.
Any ideas? Thanks.
iMac, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.5Gig Ram. And everyhing is up to date.

Khurt,
Do all your other keyboard shortcuts work? I only ask because there are some settings you can change that effect all keyboard shortcuts. But heck just in case what I would do is open up System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> goto the Keyboard (tab) first and select Modifier Keys, and click Restore Defaults then goto the Keyboard Shortcuts (tab) Hit Restore Defaults here as well.
Now Try again if that doesn't work I won't you to remove the com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist you will find it in Macintosh HD -> Users -> YOUR USER -> Library -> Preferences, If you would prefer you can just move it to your desktop but believe me it is ok to delete it, it will be regenerated on restart, then after you have removed it I want you to not doing anything else but restart your computer.
Test to see if works, and come back with your results.
Hope that helps,
Weston
