No previews for PSD docs in mac finder

Hi Chris etal in the forum, I have no previews for just PSD docs in the mac finder for a week or so now. I can see other types of doc previews. I run snow leopard on a mac book pro that is about 2 years old. Oddly enough the trouble BEGan for me after running a normal maintainence script in ONYX (I clean the cashe about once a week or so). Could be coincidence. I just installed the little "patch' from adobe but that does not help. I can see the previews in the com/4 view but in com/3, where I usually hang out, there is no preview and pressing the space bar for quick look is the same, with no preview. Can anyone give me advise about what to do? It would be greatly appreciated. aloha, Uhane

I've been unable to find a Quick Look extension (Finder preview employs QL) which can build a composite from layers in a PSD.
That's a shame, because the concept can work, though I can't imagine taking on the task of compositing layers just to make a codec or Quick Look extension, but hey - the authors who've done it do sell product.
Here's a case where the FPV codec works fine:
It's damned handy when the thumbnails and previews actually work, and frankly this kind of integration really is something Adobe ought to provide. They removed their codec way back when they had trouble because they apparently didn't have the savvy to get it right, claiming at the time that Windows was giving them trouble. Either those rules have changed or there are smarter people out there, as the software I have been showing above does seem to work without causing system faults or usability problems.

GPU preview for CMYK docs

I have a decent Nvidia graphics card in my laptop which works well with the GPU accelerated features in Illustrator CC 2014.1
I have the GPU acceleration activated for CMYK docs also. However, every time I restart Illustrator and open a CMYK doc I have to toggle the GPU view back on each time, whereas for RGB files it is on by default.
Is there a way for all documents to open up in GPU view by default? I find it a much smoother way of working and zooming in particular.
Cheers
Keith

I think this might be fixed in the latest update. I was recently editing CMYK files with the GPU preview on and didn't have to re-set the setting.

Previewing for Explorer on a Mac

I'm using CS3 on a Mac (OS X) but my audience is all on PC's.
Pages I preview in Firefox or Opera, even Explorer 5.0 for Mac look
good, but they are not displaying the same on the newer versions of
Explorer for the PC.
Any suggestions on what I'm missing or could do differently,
are appreciated.
Thanks

On a Mac you can tab through a Excel spread sheet - moves horiontally through the sheet. The Return key moves you vertically.
I believe this is the same on Windows ??

Bridge CC is not showing previews for PSD, PDF, AI

I am unable to see previews of these in Bridge CC. It doesn't seem to be hanging or busy regenerating previews, just won't show them. Double clicking opens the in relevant program. Using Windows 7 Pro and 64-bit version.

Welcome to the forum,
Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
Restore preferences
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
Reset Preferences
Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
Reset Standard Workspaces
Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

Tags v/s prior way to highlight file / doc names in Finder

Is there an app or some other way to restore coloring the full line for file/doc names in Finder? Color Tags are too tiny!

I just found this app that does it: XtraFinder adds Tabs and features to Mac Finder.
The initial install did not work. There is a fix though:
open the installer dmg
in the Extra folder, click on RemovePackageSignature
continue with the installation.
In general I am always wary of apps like this that add features to the GUI, as they are common sources of subsequent problems, and the apps themselves rarely (if ever) add anything really useful. But in this case the automatic column width is very nice and does seem to work.

How do I open a photo from Mac Finder in Lightroom?

Here's the problem: I frequently need to search for photos in the Mac Finder (I actually use HoudahSpot and Path Finder, but it's similar with an exception I note below). I can search for keywords, like "yosemite." But the Finder and QuickLook are rather limiting; they don't reveal much photo metadata if any, and of course they show originals, since any edits or developments are in LR, not in the files themselves. And one does not export willy nilly, for that would defeat the purpose of having a DAM.
So far, OK (I'd love to have LR integrated into more applications, as Aperture and iPhoto are in some "Insert" menus, or in dialog boxes, but that would be too useful...maybe the new Photos application? ). So I'm looking at a jpeg (because Apple still doesn't have support for my RAWs, but same result) that I think I wanna use. And I want to find it in Lightroom. But if I double click it, of course I'd get Photoshop or whatever application is the default for images. In Path Finder or some other utilities, unlike the Finder, I can actually select open in LR. But when LR does open, it shoots me to the import module. Not what I want.
So, if one is looking at an image file in Finder, or otherwise outside LR, how does one easily and quickly go to that image in LR, in the Library module? sort of a "find in LR" command?
I was looking around for Applescripts or Automator workflows, but only find ones that import, not find. There's an automator "find in iPhoto" step, but interestingly the Aperture one is deprecated. I thought I might have been able to modify it.
GraphicConverter has a very nice "service," "GraphicConverter: Open in Browser" that does exactly what I want. But I couldn't find one for LR (and it's kinda hard to search successfully online for "services" related to LR, and I didn't find any services).
Ideas?

I have written the Lr (plugin) side, and created the capability to use Windows "Send to..." context menu to send a list of folders/files to Lightroom for selection.
Here is the content of the god-aweful command file which does it in Windows, 'Lightroom File Selector.bat':
@echo off
for %%x in (%*) do (
    call :concat %%x
start "%~n0" "lightroom://com.robcole.FileListener/Select/%pstr%"
exit
:concat
set a=%1
set lc=%a:~-1%
if "%lc%%lc%"=="""" (
    set pstr=%pstr%[%a:~1,-1%];
) else (
    set pstr=%pstr%[%a%];
Note: what it's doing is wrapping/separating all the folder/filenames received as arguments to the bat file, then appending them to the base url, for example:
If you select folder "C:\MyFolder' and file 'C:\MyFiles\myfile.jpg' in Windows Explorer, then invoke the 'Send to' context menu item (or drag and drop directly on bat file), it will send the URL:
lightroom://com.robcole.FileListener/Select/[C:\MyFolder];[C:\MyFiles\myfile.jpg];
to whichever app is registered to handle it, i.e. Lightroom, which parses the plugin ID, and passes it to the plugin, which then parses the paths and then does the same thing as the "Choose Files Via OS & Select In Lightroom" script.
Although I haven't got the Mac end, the goal would be the same - somehow translate the target folder/file paths from the format they're in to the requisite URL format and submit to OS, which submits to Lr, which submits to plugin.
You can download the plugin here:
http://robcole.com/Rob/_common/DownloadEasy/Download.cfm?dir=FileListenerLrPlugin&file=rc_ FileListener_(lrplugin)_1.0.zip
There is no web page nor documentation for it, yet.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
"Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed.
The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers. Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
Thanks

Viewing PC-generated pdfs in Preview for Mac

I have a pdf that I generated on a PC (Windows 7, using Acrobat 9). The front cover includes an image that was previously pdf'd then inserted as a cover graphic. When viewed using Acrobat Reader, everything looks fine both on a PC and a Mac. However, when viewed on a Mac using Preview for Mac, there are lines through the cover graphic.
Has anyone else come across problems viewing PC-generated pdfs in Preview for Mac?

I always find that Preview can garble certain graphic elements or even slightly alter the over-all color of the PDF. However, I also find it is a lot quicker to deal with PDFs, especially when it comes to printing. Sometimes I get a PDF that I send to print on our Canon copier and I end up canceling the print job after 10-15 minutes because it's still processing. I open that same PDF in Preview and it prints in less than a minute. The same can be said of InDesign so on certain jobs I end up exporting as a PDF and printing from Preview. This might say a lot about Adobe's Printing Engine... (sorry, off-topic)

Pdf duplication in Preview for Mac behaving differently

When duplicating a PDF in Preview for Mac, a new image window would open that I could click on to select, then rename and save elsewhere. Just recently, seems like in the last few days, Preview now behaves differently. Now when I select duplicate, a duplicate document is created in the same window but shows as a thumbnail in the sidebar. This is confusing as it appears that Preview is trying to create a duplicate of the document at the end of the original. I don't appear to have received any updates from Apple that would account for this sudden change in behaviour (shows Preview last modified 18th November). I don't appear to be able to change this in Preview's Preferences. Can I revert Preview to the previous behaviour? (I'm using latest version of Preview in Yosemite on a 24" iMac).

Just because I have an imac pre 2007 why can I not order photo albums???!! I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is that

I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

How do I find firmware upgrades for a 1.66 Mac mini, or any mac

We have a Mac Mini 1.66 processor. I have updated all of the software, but notice that there are no firmware updates. How do you find applicable firmware updates? I looked at my son's Macbook Pro and see that there is a Mac Mini firmware update listed and when you click on it, it says that it is not applicable to that machine. He used the migration utility to move from the Mac Mini to the Macbook Pro. My guess is that the Mac Mini is marked somewhere as having the firmware upgrade even though we did a complete install from scratch of the OS after he moved to his Macbook Pro. The re-install took the Macbook back to Tiger and then up to Leopard. I would like to get everything up to date before upgrading to Snow Leopard. As an aside, I would assume I can delete the file if it is allowed on the MacBook Pro that references the firmware for the Mac Mini since it says it is not applicable.

If no firmware updates appears via Software Update, then it's probable that there are none applicable to your model of Mac. The most recent firmware update, probably the one your son is seeing, applies only to the 2009 Mac mini. You can, if you wish, look up a list of all updates released for any model of Mac mini here:

How to remove or disable "Finder Preview" for a file type?

I have some large .hdr files which are large image files, and cause PathFinder (but I guess the issue is not really Finder or PathFinder but the preview app being called in Preview feature) to beachball forever. The problem is the calculation of image size and thumbnail display when either clicking on the .hdr image file (which brings in preview) or ctrl-clicking on the file which kicks off image size calculation for contextual menu in PathFinder (confirmed by PathFinder support). While I can get around ctrl-clicking until this issue is fixed, there is no walking around preview feature for thumbnail viewing unless I tell Preview not to consider .hdr files as image files (while still being able to view thumbnails of other image formats such as jpg and tif, which is what I will like to do).
Those .hdr files are not valid Photoshop radiance files. They are generated by Photomatix (www.hdrsoft.com). So, Preview seems to be having issues with it. Whenever I click on a large file (no problem with an empty file labeled with .hdr extension), PathFinder memory shoots from 50+MB to 500+MB and it beachballs forever until I kill it.
So, I will like to tell Preview not to consider .hdr files as image files. Pointers on how to do this will be appreciated. I am guessing that Preview.app is being called by Finder (same thing should apply to PathFinder) to calculate image sizes and render thumbnails. Please correct me if I am wrong about it.

You can turn off the preview column in Finder's Show View Options. I don't know if this will help with your problem. Also, I 'think' if you use a program to create a preview icon for the file (assuming it supports that format) the Finder will use that. It sounds like you want to keep icon preview selected, so I don't think there is a way to conditionally show the previews. You can also set Finder's PreviewDisclosureState to 0, which hides the preview icon--it controls the disclosure triangle in the preview column. Again, I don't know how this will affect what you want.

If you moved them to your iPad then they will have been removed from your Mac. If they are no longer in the iPad's Videos app following the update then you will need to try contacting iTunes support and see if they will let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
