No thumbnails saving as Scitex CT

When saving a file as a CMYK Scitex CT, I am not getting an image preview or a thumbnail preveiw when I get image in Quark. I am using Photoshop 13.0 X64 and Quark 8.5.1. I saved the same file as a CMYK jpg and tiff and I get the preview image.
Thanks,
Kim

You'll have to ask Quark about that.
They were probably relying on the resource preview previously, and Apple has deprecated the resource APIs.

I have thumbnails of photos saved to my ipod. How do I transfer those thumbnails to a new computer

I have a ton of thumbnails saved to my ipod from an old computer. I don't want to get rid of them, I want to transfer them to my new computer. Is this possible?

The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

Photoshop 10 Orginizer with Win7 takes 20 hrs to create thumbnails, why?

Why does it take 20 hours for my thumbnails to create when I startup my program?

Creating thumbnails is a background task with low priority, but that should not prevent you to work immediately, as the thumbnails for the current display grid are created in priority.
The first time thumbnails are created (after import or restore), that means all your media files should be read and the thumbnail saved. That depends on the size of your library : number of items, library size in Gbytes.
If you meet the problem each time you open the organizer, then it helps generally to delete the thumbnail cache and let it be created when you open the organizer.
Find the catalog folder : Menu Help / system info. That folder may be hidden by default, set Windows to show hidden folders. Delete the file 'thumbs.5.cache' and restart the organizer and let it rebuild the cache. That may take a long time, but only the first time you open the organizer.

Script for making random thumbnails from single image

Hi all,
I need something like a hundred different thumbnails from each image in a series of images, that is, hundred random sections of the same image, saved in a folder as jpg, and i was hoping that i could find a script for this.
What the script has to do is:
select the size of the crop (this would also be the dimensions of the thumbnail saved)
rotate crop selection in a random orientation and place the crop randomly on the canvas
save the image as a jpg in a folder
return to original image,
repeat process x times before quitting script.
I dont think this should be to difficult to make a script for, but unfortunately i don´t know how to code.
Is there anybody that could help me with this?
This would save me a lot of time!

"A Fix"

Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. It works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm,But Prefer Using ZoneAlarm Pro Or Suite. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click "Allow") and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click "Allow" again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.

Why not try this as well then?
-Launch Photo Booth
-Open a thumbnailed/saved picture in Photo Booth
-Hit Apple-Q
Leaves no running process; noise is gone
Do you have to do this every time you reboot? I also read that I the Photo Booth takes twice the cpu usage then this other metod.

Trouble loading actions

When I loaded some photo actions into my new PSE11 it show only a generic icon in the effects palette, not the icon from the maker so it takes extra time to search for the action I need. How can I get the icon from the maker to show as the icon in the palette?

I've only been able to use png files for the effects thumbnail.
When i try to use a jpeg it causes pse 11 to crash.
In otherwords i can put the action and a thumbnail inage saved in the png format in the same folder and then load the action from the preset manager
and the correct thumbnail and action (effect) show up under My Effects and it works correctly.
On the other hand if i put a thumbnail saved as a jpeg file in a folder with an action and try to load the action and jpeg thumbnail using the preset
manager, photoshop elements 11 crashes.
This is on windows 8 x64.

What does an "x" mean on a folder ?

Can someone explain this? iPhoto will not see any of my pictures , thumbnails, saved iPhoto folders, etc.

The folder is being copied, so press X button if you want to stop copying and delete that folder

Unable to open project - hangs at 'loading saved thumbnails'

1. I save a 30 minute project to my local disk and shut down iMovie HD.
2. I re-installed iMovie HD (because the help subsystem was not working for some reason).
3. I launched the newly installed iMovie and it automatically tried to load my project. When it reaches 'loading saved thumbnails' it hangs and I have to Force Quit.
4. I removed the iMovie plist and relaunched iMovie and started a New Project. When it reaches 'loading saved thumbnails' it hangs and I have to Force Quit.
Any ideas as to what is going on?

14GB is at the margin of what may be needed. 20GB is better.
Your original iMovie project may have become corrupt.
The following is from David Pogue's 'iMovie 6 & iDVD 6 - The Missing Manual' which I think is the best handbook for these applications you can get. It is readily obtainable from Amazon.
David Pogue writes (on page 471):
At some random moment when you least expect it, some iMovie project that you worked on for days or weeks refuses to open. The odds of project corruption in iMovie 6 are lower than in any previous version, but if it happens there is little consolation.
If the worst should happen, you may be able to rescue the project by importing its timeline movie to a new, fresh iMovie project file.
The modern iMovie 'document' is in fact a tricky kind of folder. To open it, Control-click (or right-click) the project's Finder icon; from the shortcut menu, choose Show Package Contents. In the window that opens, double-click the Cache icon. Inside you will see an icon called Timeline Movie.
The Timeline Movie is a reference movie. That is, it contains no video or audio of its own - just pointers to the video and audio files stored in the package's Media folder. If those files are intact, then the reference movie will play the project just as iMovie did.
Create a new iMovie project, and then drag the Timeline Movie.mov icon from the Finder window right into the Timeline Viewer of the new project.
Now, the resulting movie will contain all the original movie project, but you should be aware that it will show up in the new project as a single, giant clip. You won't be able to edit the titles and transitions, but at least everything will play in the proper order.
Worth a try don't you think? Post back with results!

How do I get a thumbnail of the image I'm saving a copy of using Firefox?

I belong to an online Picture View Site which I want to access using Firefox. Certain pictures need to be saved for further categorizing. For quicker access and recall, I need to know how to get the image to save with a thumbnail rather than just a generic 'jpeg' logo. I know that this can be done because I've saved this way using Explorer--I'd find it hard to believe that this functionality not be possible using Firefox. Please advise, thanks

Figured it out.

IPhoto 9 - Photoshop Elements 9: Saved photos not showing thumbnails

After editing iPhoto images in PE9 and saving them, I cannot see the updated thumbnail in iPhoto. If I double-click on the photo, I can see the edited version, but where is the updated thumbnail?
I read Old Toad's advice to set the file saving preferences in PE9 to overwrite the existing file, and that helped with the problem of having a strange file window pop up when I tried to save in PE9, but if there's another setting to handle this thumbnail problem, I haven't found it.

How are you doing this? It sounds like you might be saving as into the iPhoto library rather than correctly setting PE9 as the iPhoto external editor and then saving (not saving as)

Thumbnails in Bridge lost in files saved with AE CS6

On Windows I have some templates (aet) from AE 7 and CS3 that include thumbnails in the XMP, and Bridge CS6 shows these. If I open these templates in AE CS6 and save them out, no thumbnail is preserved/added to the XMP.
I looked through the preferences for AE CS6 and I can't find anything related to saving out previews/thumbnails in the XMP for a project or template.
Is there a setting that will allow me to get thumbnails in the XMP that I would see in Bridge? Was this a capability that was dropped some time between CS3 and CS6?
David Blake

I can contact my customer and see if he wants to contact you about his templates that have thumbnails.
The files I am testing with are from Adobe Exchange. The metadata in the file doesn't indicate who they are from or who created them. The thumbs are in the screenshot below.

Why can't I get CS5 to make a thumbnail picture of a saved image?

If I open an image on my Mac and I make some changes ( a levels adjustment for example ) and then I click on the "SAVE" button. the changes are saved but I don't see a thumbnail image in that image folder. I have to do a "SAVE AS" command to make CS5 create an image thumbnail of that file.
If I open an image , hit "Command-J" and create a duplicate layer and then just hit the "SAVE" command, the duplicate layer is saved, but the thumbnail is not created in the image folder. I like to be able to do a "GET INFO" command on the files and then do a copy of the thumbnail image so I can then do a paste on the Folder of all those images. It's easy to see the "RODEO" thumbnail images is a folder of RODEO photos. The only way I can get CS5 to create the thumbnaIl image is to do a "SAVE AS" command so I have to rename the image.....to something like "rodeo 1 layers.tif".
In CS4, all I had to do was open the image, hit "Command-J", then hit "Command-S", and the new layer was saved and a thumbnail was created at the same time........ so I could do a "GET-INFO" and do the copy-paste thing.

I've reported this before...it's a known problem.....now the question is, will it ever be fixed?

Saved PSD files show up as small thumbnails oinly in Bridge

Ive been working on some photos in ACR/CS2 and a strange thing happened. After working on raw files I save them in a separate working folder as psd files. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my PSD files are showing up in Bridge as tiny thumbnails. This just started happening in the middle of working on a folder of raw files. The first few were fine and then the saved files began showing up as thumbnails.
Moving the slider to make them bigger doesnt do anything. I can make all the files smaller by moving the slider to the left, but moving to the right only makes the files thumbnail size. Very weird. This problem seems limited to Bridge. In PS they look fine. Ive even checked their file size and that looks fine. Ive closed and reopened Bridge, but that had no affect.
I cleared ACR preferences and purged the folder; that brought back some files but then others became small. Also when working on new files, the first few were again OK and then again files became thumbnail size in Bridge. I can open the files, save them to another folder and then copy them to the original folder, over writing the old, thumbnail size folder. I suspect all this has to do with cache and some setting, but I can't figure out the random nature of all this.

Actually I found the problem... under Bridge preferences, check to see if the "do not process files larger than ____MB" is less than the PSD file size.... i.e. my psd file was 229.24mb and my limit was set at 200mb... then once you change this go to cache settings and purge, it will reset the thumbnails and clear the small view issue.

Thumbnails disappear in finder after re saving in photoshop cc

Thumbnails disappear in finder after re saving a jpeg image in photoshop cc. The thumbnail is replaced by a jpeg icon. Please help

Hi Chris
OS X 10.9 (13A1900) The box is checked to save thumbnails with files and OS is set to show thumbnails.
The problem occurs when I re save an image in photoshop CC, If I open an image and amend it then re save it, the thumbnail turns into a jpeg icon
Thanks

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.
