Preview image changed?

When opening a photo in Preview and then dragging an edge and scaling it down there seems to be even more blank space (canvas) left around the photo as it shrinks then there was in 10.5.
Especially on the right and left sides. These photos were the same as the ones I used in 10.5 so I am comparing likes. I wonder why the canvas size can't be scaled down proportionally to meet the scaled down photo without so much extra blank space left in the photo window.

I am looking forward to an anwer concerning the HDR preview-result-difference as well... Since some posts suggest to check out the color profile of the input files, i did so: they are both sRGB. And the immense change of saturation and brightness (in other examples even worse than below) couldn't be explained by a different profile anyway, IMHO.
working parameters:
Adobe Brigde CS6 (Tools/Photoshop/HDR PRO)
Adobe Photoshop CS6
sRGB both input and output...

Can you change the size of the preview images on an Apple TV without changing video resolution?

I have a 32 inch LCD TV. My room is relatively large and I can't easily see the preview images or read the text on the TV across the room. Is it possible to change the size of preview images in the menu screens without increasing the resolution of the TV itself? I think this should be possible, but can't seem to find a way to do it.

No that's not something you can do on the Apple TV.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here.

Change Flashdrive Preview Image

There a way to change the con of the flashdrive as it appears on the desktop? The icon is a little boring and i want to change it to a custom image of mine. Help?

Figured it out for anyone who wants to know. Open the image you want in Preview and use the select to tool to select the WHOLE image. Hit Apple+C to copy and switch over to your folder, or whatever else. Hit Apple+I to "Get Info." In the top left corner there should be a small image. The same image as the big "Preview Image" below it. Select the small picture in the top-left corner. It should have a blue outline. Hit Apple+V to paste. Your preview image should have changed. If not reply to this and I'll try to let you know why it is not working.

HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

Hello dear Mac users
How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
I hope someone will understand my needs...
Thanks!

Thanks BeerbarX
You can't change the preview image for anything

QuickLook plugin
what are the plugin ?
In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
That is exactly what I'm asking about !
MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

APERTURE: Small preview images do not show the changes.

excuse my lousy english...
Problem with Aperture:
Small preview images do not show the changes.
I use Aperture 3 since August 2010. By November and 10 projects later it ran normally.
Since the project 11 are in the preview images shown (on the bottom bar in the shared representation) and in the pictures in the books no adjustments. I change for example a picture in b / w it remains in the small preview images bunt even though the great View Erbild s / w is. Even in the books then the famous picture colorful and even grobpixelig.
This is of course in the processing of multiple images per project huntert pretty annoying to have no overview of processed images ...:-(
I had a third installed for books and not as close a relationship.
Does anyone have similar experience or know someone how can I fix this?
Thanks for reading!

Lokoe,
To make sure we understand:
I change for example a picture in b / w it remains in the small preview images bunt even though the *great View Erbild s / w is*.
I am not sure what "s/w" is, but I think you mean:
"I change picture to black and white and the small preview images remain *in color* even though the *big picture in the Viewer* is in B/W."
Even in the books then the famous picture colorful and even grobpixelig.
"In the books the selected picture is colorful and even ???"
"Grobpixelig" -> "grosspixelig" -> "Looks like big pixels???" Not quite sure of the translation. It's been 15 years since I spoke Deutsch!

Could not change preview image of video in PublishingWebControls:MediaFieldControl

Here are the steps I have done:
Create a new Site Column of Media Field type, called Media.
Create new Content Type that inherits from Page content type, called Media Page Content Type.
Add a column from newly-added Media site column to Media Page Content Type.
Create a new page layout that uses Media Page Content Type.
Create a new page that applies the new page layout.
Specify a video for the media field of the page.
Up to this point everything was working well. The video could display with default preview image.
But when I tried to change the preview image using the button in Media ribbon menu of the page, then saves the page. The preview image could not be saved.
Anyone has faced this issue before?
I have tried this on both SharePoint Online and on-premise and it gave the same effect.
Thanks in advance and appreciated if any idea or solution.

"Use ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) to add a Set Thumbnail button. When a user clicks Set Thumbnail, the JavaScript object model for the MediaWebPart object captures
the appropriate frame, calls the Silverlight application on the page to store the thumbnail image in the Thumbnails library, sets the URL for the thumbnail image automatically for the video, and hides the PreviewImageUrl field from view on the form."

I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
Thanks, Marie

Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview. I have to open the file to be able to see it. Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

Why does the color and or tone of my image change?

Why does the color and or tone of my image change after working in LR for a couple of hours? I open LR and everything looks fine - work for a couple of hours on the same shoot - but then the pictures start to look flat or greenish cast as time goes by. All the files get flat and the greenish cast after a couple of hours - the ones already worked on and the newer ones I'm pulling up to work on. RAW files downloaded from a Canon 30D. Also exporting to PSCS2 as PROPhoto results in a flat image. I switched back to export AdobeRGB.

Hola - thanks for the reply - yep - closing and then opening LR helps - but can't do that all the time after processing 3 or 4 files.
One reply was a corrupt monitor color profile - So I deleted that one and loaded a new adobeRGB profile. That helped a little also for a while - I then reloaded my monitor drivers and refreshed them - that help for a day - the greenish cast is back It works fine on my laptop for now. The same pictures that look greenish in LR look great in Canon DPP. So it probably wasn't the color profile or monitor drivers. My issue started with the small scale previews so I bumped that up. Still have the issue. I finished up a project and now going to uninstall and reinstall LR. Let's see what happens with a fresh install. andy.

Why are my icons of aliases does not preview images do not show?

When I create aliases to image files, only a few of them have a preview image in the alias icon and thumbnail view finderworks as good as the original image files? (OS X 10.6.7)

So yes, Including generation of icons in PhotoShop previewlets you see the icon image in the alias. Unfortunately, it also changes the quality of the previews of psd files in all windows of the Finder. So bad and so not well: (
Conwerts all the graphics files on my computer to themdodwać additional icons for aliases in my practice is not verydifficult.
But the same solution that you recommend actually working.
So thank you for this idea. remember it.
I know that once an alias in OS X has always had a picture ofwhy a request to Apple to not change something that is very good.
Work on the alias is very useful because of disk space and work with only one file in the form of various names, eg forcorrection, etc. .. Apple damage.

Poor quality in preview - image is blurry

To date, I have not had any issues with the preview quality matching the actual image quality.
I have not made any hardware por software changes. Image files are in raw, jpg and tiff formats.
This issue appears to be only with raw files. The image in preview is extremely blurry, yet when the
file is opened it is tack sharp. I have checked all my preference settings and cannot figure out what is goin on.
I have tried purging and refreshing the cache and nothing seems to work.
I am running PS CS4
Windows Vist 64 Ultimate
Please help!
Update: I have changed raw preferences to apply to preview images only. The image qulaity only seems to improve when I
purge the cache for the slected images. I have the cache option for export to folder when possible checked. I have tried to purge the cache for
all images but the preview does not imprevoce unless I purge selected only.

This may be dumb but when it recently happened to me, I opened one image in adobe camera raw and increased the clarity by an inpercievable 1%. Then I hit done. Preview looked crisp again. I copied settings of that image. Then I highlighted all other blurry previews and pasted settings and they all became crisp again. Probabley just a quick fix that doesn't solve the problem but my knowledge is limited.

Aperture 3: low quality preview images

I don’t know if it's just a problem with my (new) Aperture Trial library or if it's a Aperture 3 bug:
The preview images Aperture 3 (trial) creates from raw files (in my case NEFs) are different from the JPEGs exported using the same JPEG settings.
I get the impression that the preview images don’t use all the adjustments applied to the raw files. They don’t have the moire reduction applied. The preview images of high ISO images have color noise, the exported images don’t have that color noise (the moire and noise settings of raw fine tuning are applied to the exported files but not to the image previews).
As the preview images are used for the Finder media browser, iLife, iPhone/iPod touch picture sync and other things the lower quality is not acceptable for me.
The preview images of Aperture 2 are identical to the exported JPEGs from Aperture 2 (using the same settings).
I use Aperture 3 Trial with a new trial library and a few hundred raw images just to test Aperture 3.
I already erased all preview images and rebuild the previews. I deselected using the embedded JPEGs from the raw files and I let Aperture rebuild the miniatures.

It seems that Ap2 syncs the previews to the iPhone... you have to clear the previous cached previews before it will load higher quality previews... anyhow, here is what I did... and photos look better on my iphone (not feeling motivated enough to verify if it is the same quality as iphoto sync)...
1.) change Ap2 prefs for "limit preview size" to "don't limit"...
2.) select all the photos in the album(s) you are want to sync, right click (ctrl click), and select delete previews...
3.) sync your iphone again...
if that doesn't work directly, you might need to uncheck sync photos to delete all photos on the iphone, but the ultimate goal is to ensure refresh with the higher quality previews...
Hope that makes sense or gets folks in the right direction... Apple really needs to put a check box in future version of itunes to sync full quality or something...

Are there any good code examples for displaying preview images in the storefront?

I can gather other info using folio.xxx, but can not find any good examples to use for preview images. Tried folio.getPreviewImage() with no success. Oh, I should mention it is version 2. Plenty of examples for version 1.
Perhaps if I get a little more specific.
I am calling up the folios via:
       adobeDPS.libraryService.folioMap.addedSignal.add(function(folios) {
            for (var i = 0; i < folios.length; i++) {
                addFolio(folios[i]);
        }, this);
This eventually works into a function where I am gathering and displaying folio data:
     var productId = folio.productId;
    var html = "<div id='" + productId + "'>";
        html +=     "<a href='#'><img class='shadow' width='120' src='' border=0 /></a>";
        html +=     "<br /><span class='bold'>" + folio.title + "</span>";
        html += "</div>";
    this.$el = $(html);
folio.title works fine to pull up the title, but I can no longer use folio.getPreviewURL in v2. What code should I be using to set the src to the preview image?
Thanks

Have you looked at the default implementations of the library?
In FolioItemView's render function, there is a function(follow the nested functions!):
setTimeout(function(){ scope.loadPreviewImage() }, 100);
It references this function (this doesn't copy well):
loadPreviewImage: function() {
if (this.el.parentElement) {
var transaction = this.folio.getPreviewImage(135, 180, true);
transaction.completedSignal.addOnce(this.getPreviewImageHandler, this);
Going deeper, into the getPreviewImageHandler function is where you see the url value..
if (transaction.state == adobeDPS.transactionManager.transactionStates.FINISHED && transaction.previewImageURL != null) {
                              this.$el.find(".folio-thumb").attr("src", transaction.previewImageURL);
Within the example is also code for supplying a preview when the Adobe API is not available:
(Within the render function)
var json = this.model.toJSON();
$folioThumb.attr("src", json.libraryPreviewUrl);
If you're making any changes to where the preview is displayed, you can just swap out the class ".folio-thumb" to whatever the class (or id) is of the element you're wanting to render the preview in.

CS4 - Render preview image not scaled and position properly

Hi,
I'm trying to edit video captured with a GoPro in R4 mode.
It produces videos int he following format:
1280x960
1.0 square pixel
29.97 fps
I created a sequence corresponding to these settings. When no effects are added to the clip in the sequence, playback is fine in the sequence preview panel.
Things starts to get messy when I edit the clip. I get the red bar over the clip telling me I need to render a preview. And it's true, the playback skips and lag.
Here's some image of the result of the rendered preview:
when playing:
Image above shows both clips are at the same frame. No effects applied beside a title.
When not playing and clicking on the preview image:
Image is centered, but the ratio changed.
Investigating this problem showed em that the rendered videos changed resolution (which is logic), but they also changed the ratio of the original video!!
Original video is 1280 * 960 for a 4:3 ratio, while the preview videos are 720*480 (not 4:3).
Now, I tried changing the rendered preview settings here:
I had no success. The only codecs I have found to not change the resolution of the preview are "Uncompressed UYVY 422 8 bits" and "V210 10-bit YUV". These codec produce high quality videos (same resolution, high bit rates) as preview that my computer still have problem to play.
I'm not more advanced.
In my choices of settings, the only preview file format I have is microsoft AVI.
So,
1. Anyone ever had this problem? (and knows how to fix it )
2 How can I have more choice than AVI for a preview file format.
3. How can I install more preview codecs to test the different options?
4. Suggestions, comments?
Please, keep in mind that I'm still discovering adobe premiere. I started to play with it only 2 days ago. This is pretty much the last problem I have before starting to edit my footage.
Thank you all.
PS
Sorry if my english is not perfect, it's not my main langugage.

@John T Smith:
already searched for the answers, but withiout success.
@Ann Benns:
Thanks for the advice. I will try that tonight.
In the meantime, I found a post about a guy who had the same issue as me:
http://goprouser.freeforums.org/changed-question-about-adobe-premiere-resolution-t1492-20. htm
The post ends in 2010 with: "WOOHOO!! I finally got it (mysteriously) to work again!"
I will try to send him an email.
Thanks for your help. If anyone has more suggestions or ideaas, they are more than welcome!

Setting Preview Image for iMovie

I just created several tutorial videos using iMovie. The videos are embedded in an online course I'm developing. Does anyone know how to set the preview image that appears for the video?
Right now, the preview image (i.e. the image that appeard under the "play icon" for the video before the video is clicked on) is just a black image. I believe the player that I'm using defaults to the first frame of the video, which is a black screen. Is there a way to change this? Our tech folks said the preview image is a setting within the video, not the player.
Thanks for your help.

Have a look at this tutorial: http://web.archive.org/web/20081012122149/http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/poster_frame_fo r_flash_video/
