PC and OS switch, now Bridge previews are blurry

Yesterday I (well, my son--not me!) moved my Photoshop CS4, Bridge, ACR, LR2 to a new PC. Operating system changed from XP to Windows7.
Previews are blurry; I cleared cache, in Preferences, I've got Monitor Size Previews selected, Software Rendering Deselected (Selecting it made no difference). Video Card is GeForceGTX 285.
Thanks!

Some individual jpg's are blurry. If I right click and delete cache for  that individual image, I get the crisp preview. What gives? I thought  that clearing the cache meant clearing all of the cache? I can live with  this.   All cache is not created equal.
There is the central cache which is the main cache and you can purge it in the cache window.  If you have cache exported to folders that cache is not purged.  To purge both cache you need to go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.
If you get no preview for CR2  files you probably have either no Camera Raw (ACR), have more than  one ACR or have ACR in wrong folder.
Open PS and in Help click on about plug-ins and camera raw.   Will tell you what version you have.  Should be 5.x for CS4.

  • Previews are Blurry in Bridge CS6

    On several occasions I have seen that some images are previewed blurry in Bridge CS6.
    I have set the preview to full resolution/quality, so this is not the issue.
    When it happens, it happens like this:
    1. I have a layered file, and the preview is good and sharp.
    2. Then I sharpen, and the preview is blurry.
    This has occurred numerous times. I thought the preview was corrupted, so I deleted the file, and hauled it back from the trash, so a new preview would be built.
    Again, this new preview would again be blurry. (Out of 20 files, two had a blurry preview - and the files themselves were NOT blurry).
    Flattening such a file does not help. While the flattened file is also sharp in Photoshop, its preview remains blurry. A copied file also has the blurry preview.
    I don't see any correlation with image dimensions, file sizes. Some images just randomely are previewed blurry in Bridge CS6.
    The only correlation I see is that it is ALWAYS SHARPENED IMAGES that are previewed blurry (the unsharpened versions always look much sharper in Bridge CS6)
    What can I do to have Bridge CS6 preview ALL images correctly?
    edit: I purged the cache for this folder, and the rebuilt preview is again blurry.
    Even worse, now 50 out of 100 images have blurry previews.
    How can I get previews that I can work with?

    I have a latest generation MacBook Pro retina, so that should be fine.
    It actually worked when I purged the cache for this folder a second time. The blur went away.
    The first time I had done a "select all" images to show Bridge which previews I needed rebuilt - not necessary, maybe that was an overload for Bridge.

  • When I use Tab Groups, can I have some tabs that are always open together with a group, and just switching the groups that are besides the "always showing" tabs?

    I like to have some tabs always open, like for example the facebook page, while others I need only occasionally, like Ebay / Work / Fun (which I could put into Tab Groups). So I was wondering if it is possible to have the following configuration:
    Always open Tabs (e.g. Facebook, Myspace) and then next to that ONE of the Tab Groups (e.g. Group Ebay Stuff and Group Work Stuff and Group Fun Stuff)
    or alternatively have TWO Tab Groups open at the same time, like Group A and Group B, and then switch to Group A and Group C, then Group A and Group D, then Group A and Gourp B again.

    Hmm, well you can right click a tab you want always open and click "Pin as App Tab". I personally don't have much experience with Tab Groups, I'm just learning how to use them.
    Hope this helps!

  • Picture Previews are blurry

    Does anyone know what might be causing my thumbnails on my comp. to look blurry? When I open the picture full size in any application, it looks fine but in iPhoto and in my Pictures folder there are a lot of blurry thumbnail previews. Not all the pictures are like that, just some and they are all from 3 different cameras. thanks!

  • I am using using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

    I am using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it?  Thank you.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

  • CS6 Bridge Previews are Soft

    The previews and thumbnails in Bridge are soft (previews softer), so I chave to open up an image to decide whether to keep it or trash it based upon sharpness.
    Somebody please help!!!

    Someone else will need to answer whether the images should always look the same as what you see Photoshop in a practical sense - I don't use Bridge regularly.  I just know a few of its options.
    Regarding getting a filmstrip on the right...  I fooled with Bridge just now for about 30 seconds...  Try selecting the Preview workspace up at the top, then moving the divider to the right and swapping the positions of the tabs.  There may be another way, but this works:

  • The new update has messed up my iPad and iPhone both glitch and turn off now when you are playing games or reading

    Both my iPhone and I pad are not communicating together. They are glitch. You can be in a game or surfing the web and all the sudden the screen goes black. I have lots of memory and space. I cleaned history thinking it could be it. I also restored iPad as new device. The update messed it up. Becoming very frustrated with apple products. Help please!

    What update are you talking about? What iOS level are you running?

  • Each time I sync my 3GS to iTunes, it asks me to authorize the computer.  I do it, then it asks me again and again.  Now my apps are vanishing.  What to do?

    It asks me over and over to authorize.  I do it, then it says it's authorized, then it asks again.
    How do I stop the cycle?

    Did yo already try the suggestions mentioned in this article?

  • Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube load as HTML, pictures are blurry

    Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube load as HTML (I think is what it's called?). There are no pictures, just links with little boxes underneath them. My profile picture on Google is blurry. Overall, Firefox is running slow and awkward. I tried re-installing it, but that did not fix it. Firefox help site, and other random websites are working just fine.
    Please halp! I really don't like using IE.

  • Why are my Bridge previews so tiny?

    Can anyone tell me why my Bridge previews are so tiny for vectors? My preview won't go any larger than a thumbnail size. When I use the zoom tool over the preview, the magnified preview box is so pixelated I can't even make anything out. I am using Adobe Bridge CS4 on Windows 7 (64 bit). All Bridge settings are currently default. The issue is only with vector images - raster images scale to full size without the pixelation. I have already tried uninstalling my adobe products and reinstalling, but it didn't change anything.
    I attached a full resolution thumbnail (on a 1440x900 screen) in case anyone wants to see exactly what I'm talking about. The preview pane on the far left is as large as the image will scale. The images are default illustrator sample files, and I've seen the same images scaled in bridge at full size in tutorial videos which didn't seem to require any special configuration to make work.

    What would defragmenting the TDMS file afterwards mean for the file size?

  • Photos are blurry after import

    I just downloaded Aperture.  All photos have been imported from iPhoto and looked fine.  I closed Aperture, re-opened and now the photos are blurry (the thumbnails are clear).  I can't make photo adjustments because it says offline.  What am I doing wrong here?  Why did it work prior to closing and re-opening the program?

    How did you import from iPhoto?
    The correct way would be as outlined here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=4%26section=10
    Also check to see what your Preview size and quality are set to in Aperture Preferences (using Quality '8' and the resolution of your monitor - marked with an asterisk - should work well).

    I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my  ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there.  From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

    Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults.  Microsoft likes to hide things like  settings, preset, folders etc from normal users  think the dumb or something else.  If Apple also hide things you will have to  make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.

  • Web gallery upload problem - the server switched to FTPS and now Bridge CS6 won't recognize it.

    I use Bridge CS6 on a Mac to create & upload web galleries directly to my website. My web server just changed and they no longer support FTP, only FTPS. When I try to upload a web gallery now, Bridge gives me the message that my username/password is incorrect. I have tested the server and can connect via Fetch so I know that it's possible to connect to the server. Is there anywhere in Bridge that allows you to change the FTP settings to allow it to recognize the FTPS? I cannot seem to find any information, I feel like there should be a simple fix and I'm probably overlooking it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Bridge is not a seperate program.  It is part of Photoshop.  That is why some users have to  launch Bridge the first time from PS to make it work. 
    Not familliar with the Suite, but if there are other applications where you can launch Bridge from the program try it.
    Also, make sure you have uninstalled any Adobe trials that may cause a conflict with permissions.
