Preview in folder

hi
i have window 7  and photoshop cs2
when i am inside a folder, and have the view to thumbnail
i cant see a preview of psd files.  i can only see preview of jpegs
anyway of seeing the psd files as well
thanks in advance

The XMP thumbnail is probably what is getting used in this case.  Even for images saved without Maximize Compatibility, the Ardfry PSD Codec can use the image in the XMP for the thumbnail if it's present.  Recent versions of Photoshop allow you to choose whether to save a thumbnail image independently of whether or not Maximize Compatibility is set.
However, larger thumbnails and viewing a large image in the preview pane (as well as Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media Center) are dependent on having the flattened image available.  The same behavior is found with Preview on the Mac.
If any bit of your workflow is non-Adobe, then setting Maximize Compatibility is probably a good idea.

  • "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder full ?

    Hello,
    I'm on latest version of both Premiere and Media Encoder, I'm working on PC/7 (64bits)/i7/Cuda,
    What is "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder ?
    C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
    How to purge it NOT manually ? Why is it created ? How to deplace it or remove it ?
    I've plenty of videos into my batch, and as soon as this folder is full, it's not exporting anymore. Even if all the old previewes are used and exported, they are not removed or automaticly deleted.
    I've tried to move this folder of my D: through adobe media encoder preferences... impossible to find its reference somewhere.
    If you have any idea, thanks a lot

    Bonjour,
    je suis sous la dernière version de Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (je suis abonné au Cloud) et j'exporte via file d'attente sous premiere CC.
    J'ai le dossier suivant :
    C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
    qui s'engorge et ne se vide jamais, et donc sature mon disque dur OS et software sous C:
    Je n'arrive pas à délocaliser ce dossier, via les préférences de Media Encoder par exemple.
    D'ailleurs, je me demande même le pourquoi de son existence, et encore plus, pourquoi ne se vide-t-il pas lui même lorsque l'exportation est finie.
    J'ai un batch de vidéos énorme à exporter, du coup, il sature le C: et du coup, je me lève le matin et seulement la moitié de mes exportations sont faites. Sympa pour mes deadlines.
    A noter que :
    - via les préférences de media encoder, j'ai désactivé les previews (la petite fenêtre qui permet de voir l'évolution et progression de la vidéo sous encoder), ça change rien.
    - ce dossier ne se remplit évidemment pas, lorsque j'exporte directement via Premiere, sans passer par la liste d'attente de media encoder ("exporter" et non "file d'attente" donc.)
    - je coche systématiquement sous premiere "rendu à la résolution maximale", "utiliser la qualité de rendu maximal" (jamais compris le pourquoi de ces deux trucs d'ailleurs, j'ai jamais l'impression que ça changeait un truc) et "utilisez les prévisualisations" (qui sont déjà rendues en vert, évidemment)
    Merci pour vos lumières !

  • How do I separate the Catalog and the Previews.lrdata folder?

    I have my catalog stored on a data drive that is backed up regularly. The Previews.lrdata folder is now located alongside with the Catalog.lrcat file. But since the Previews.lrcat folder is automatically generated and only contains previews of the photos, I don't want to backup this huge folder. I would like to store my preview.lrdata on a fast harddisk that I don't need to backup, and leave my catalog on my data drive.
    Does anyone know the trick how to do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hans,
    I also wish one could specify the location where to store the previews on a catalog basis (as it is on a global basis for the ACR cache). I save my drives on a regular basis with an older version of Norton Ghost, which I'm very happy with. But, I cannot exclude files/folders from backups, so I'm stuck saving the previews regularely as well.

  • Preview files folder

    a folder of media encoder preview files is created in my documents- adobe- media encoder
    this folder is getting bigger, I think every time I'm using media encoder to export my projects
    at the moent it's 30 gigs after less than a month using CC
    I need to know if I can delete this files? and I need to redirect them to my D drive or even better not create preview files

    Thank you for your answer.
    Trouble is I know how to clean the Cache but it was the Preview Files that were the problem.
    Additionally, I have some Cache Files in the location below which are taking up 23GB
    User>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Common>Media Cache Files
    There is also a folder here called Media Cache.
    I am confused becuase I have set my Media Cache Files and Media Cache in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder to all be the same and none of them point to this location? How do I clean this folder? Is it only present from a previous versions of the applications and simply not been removed when the programs were uninstalled? A lotof the files here seem to relate to audio files and .pek files?
    Really grateful for your help on this one.

  • Lightroom catalog/preview multiple folder merging

    I have had Lightroom since version 2, have upgraded all along and now have Version 4.2. I noticed as I ugradeed to Version 3, the catalog was still named Lightroom 2 catalog-2. Somehow, along the way, this is now Lightroom 2 Catalog -2-2. This is the catalog Lightroom defaults to. With Lightroom 4 I decided to rename these to: Mark's Lightroom 4 catalog and Mark's Lightroom 4 previews. Well, all I suceeded in doing is I now have 5 folders.
    Lightroom 2 Catalog-2Previews.lrdata with 21.1GB
    Lightroom 2 Catalog-2-2 Previews.lrdata with 1.6GB
    Lightroom settings with169KB
    Mark's Lightroom 4 Catalog.lrcat with 34.6GB
    Mark's Lightroom 4 Previews.lrdata with 4.78GB
    I also have these two folders with the square Lightroom icon:
    Lightroom 2 Catalog-2.lrcat 1GB
    Lightroom 2 Catalog-2-2.lrcat 1.01GB
    There is also the Backup folder and  tempary import and temporary import journal folders within the Lightroom folder.
    Windows 7 Ultimate, i7 quad core, new SSD c drive and new 3T Barracuda d drive.
    I do back up my d drive on an external hard drive and have put this Lightroom folder on a separate hard drive.
    Now, how do I merge those 5 folders into one l catalog and 1 previews folders with messing up.
    I have searched the website and watched Julianne Kost's video on merging but am needing a little more specific guidance to not mess this up!
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    It seems to me that you do not see the file endings since you say "I presume these are catalogs".
    The catalog is a file, not a folder, and - on Windows - does not have a yellow folder icon - although it can be (and usually is) within a folder. Open the folder - what do you see then?
    The previews on the other hand are in a folder.
    If you don't see the file endings go >My Computer >the drive where the catalog is on, select  >Tools >Folder Options >View tab.
    Make sure that the box that reads "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked. If it is checked you won't see the file ending <  .lrcat> because it will be hidden.
    BTW that's on Windows but there must be something similar on Mac.
    RE: Previews folders: You just merge the catalogs. You don't have to do anything with the previews.
    I would suggest that you merge all of the catalogs you can find.You might have created the 1 GB catalogs inadvertyently.
    You could check though by going >File >Catalog, then navigate to the 1 GB catalog and click on it. Lr will open with it (afterclosing down the present catalog) and you'll see what it contains.
    If Lr cannot open it then there's not much you can do about. The catalog might be corrupt.
    Here's the address for Lr Help that shows you all the options available in <Import from Another Catalog:

  • Media encoder preview files folder

    Hi!
    I'm not sure this folder exisited the last version, but in media encoder CC it's there in my documents/adobe/media encoder preview files.
    the problem is that it's getting realy big- 30 gigs. I'm not sure why is it created.
    I want to know if I can delete those files and I realy need to change it's path so it wont block my c drive
    thanks

    If you are using a SSD there are likely to be a few very large files that you would like to relocate, not just those belonging to Adobe.
    I too found that media encoder files within ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\8.PRV’ with no obvious way of adjusting the settings to move them.
    The solution I usually use for this type of problem is to create what is known as a ‘Windows Junction’, which is like a ‘shortcut’ but behaves exactly the same as a regular folder. I decided to move the whole of the ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\Adobe’ folder from ‘My Documents’ to the root of another disk drive and then create then replace this with the ‘junction’ named ‘Adobe’ in . ‘c:\users\[ME]\My Documents\’
    1: Close all Adobe software in case anything is in use in the Adobe folder (or the move will fail).
    2: I was going to suggest moving the files at this point but it may be safer to copy them and then delete the ‘Adobe’ folder only  if the copy is successful. Copy the Adobe folder to another drive using drag and drop, in this example I used the root of the ‘G’ drive. If the move is successful delete the original ‘Adobe’ folder from ‘My Documents’.
    3: Start a command prompt window in administrator mode (right click / run as administrator) 
    4: Change the directory to your ‘Documents’ folder using the command (not My Documents):
    CD    “c:\users\[me]\documents”
    Replace [me] with your folder name, which is usually your name
    5: Assuming you moved the ‘Adobe’ folder to the ‘G’ drive, and replace ‘G’ if different enter the command:
    Mklink    /j     Adobe    G:\Adobe
    I have put multiple spaces in the above where there must be at least 1 space.
    I have used this solution to move parts of ‘program files’ and other folders from the SSD to a regular hard drive for software and files I do not use very much.
    Maybe I should make a video of this procedure?

  • Deleting my preview cache folder

    hello, i have a similar problem to many that lightroom is now saying its having problems with the preview cache.....after reading some discussions i have found the folder and am going to delete it however i need to know if this is deleted witll all the photos i have in lightroom that have not been exported be deleted?
    thanks URGENT!!!!

    If previews are deleted, LR will re-create them when needed (LR cleans the oldest ones out anyway, after a period, by default).
    Probably best to do this while LR is not running - whenever it starts up a Catalog which lacks an associated previews cache, a new empty one is automatically created straight away. Then as you start working in that and accessing images, it will get populated.
    However, the previews are purely a convenience, for performance reasons. The actual LR editing is stored inside the Catalog as instructions - and does not depend on any bitmap preview.

  • Where is the Preview folder on mac?

    Hi!~ I always open preview folder from systems temp on windows7, but in mac I can't find it folder?
    event I search on floder not find.
    Please tell me the preview temp folder path for mac!~

    It's in your user (Home) > Library folder. In recent versions of Mac OS X, this is hidden by default.
    In the Finder, hold down the Option key first while choosing Go > Library so you can see it.
    Then find it in:
    Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 11.0 > Stamps

  • How to designate path to the correct Preview folder within Lightroom

    If I was asked what is the best and most inthuitive progra for photography : I would say Lightroom.
    If I was asked wich is the most dangerous, unnatural and complicated software for a photographer : I'd definitaly say Lightroom !
    In the catalogs preferences there is a buton to show where your catalog resides.
    Now, where can I go into Lightroom's menu and make it show where resides its preview's folder, and SmartPreviews's folder,
    SO AS TO BE ABLE (HOW?) to direct it to an other location(other folder) ?

    Thank You for all inputs /answers.
    It's really nice to have such fast answers at all, and/but i have appreciated.
    I realize that my questions where not implicating the reasons of my asking.
    I had trouble after having
    A) renamed the catalog (and by doing so introduced a misspelling in the totally-correctly renaming of the Smart preview and preview folders
    and
    having also strait away copied the whole "thing" from an external external HD back to my internal ssd hd
    without having first checked if every thing worked
    So i kind of panict and meanwhile LR had started building anew the Smart preview and preview folders (or one of them) without telling etc so i kind of got nervous..
    Now everything is fixed.
    Still find though that there is room to improve lightroom's management...
    (wizards for all kind of procedures that a "genius-photographer might want to do.. ;-)  )
    Please let's not forget to remind ADOBE that they should never assume that we "by the time" all know everything by virtue of being used to it... when they further developp LR.
    (elegance but transparency)
    ( i'm using LR almost daily since LR 1. ... )
    Now i'm going to start a new thread for a question relating to how to create smart collection to automatically group/find (lost) print layouts (that had photos associated to it)
    (I use LR in french so I mishandle the appropriate english terminology..)
    Thanks again.

  • Lightroom 5 -- I cannot open lightroom anymore "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit

    What do I do next? Any help would be appreciated.

    If you have multiple Lightroom catalogs, you may have deleted the wrong preview cache. No harm done, just find the other LR catalogs (all of them) and delete each and every Previews.LRDATA folder.

  • Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit,... Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches

    I have restarted lightroom and still get the same result, I have also fully uninstalled  lightroom and then re-installed  3 times  without success

    You do not want to delete your catalog file Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat with extension .lrcat. This will cause you to lose all of your image editing information.
    Locate and rename the Previews Cache folder named Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata by adding a .old to the extension (Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata.OLD). Restore the original catalog file from the Recycle or Trash bin if possible. See procedure here:

    I launch and relaunch and the same message appears over and over.
    Should I uninstall and then re-install Lightroom? Would this fix the problem?

    Thanks Jim.
    I will give it a try.
    My "Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata" folder is 12.3 GB in size, so the rebuild will take lots of time...right?
    I'll let you know how it goes.

    I have let it close down put it keeps appearing

    I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
    If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

  • Error message: The folder (you are trying to move) contains the catalog

    II am trying to move a catalog to an external HD. I am getting an error message: The folder (names folder) contains your LR catalog and cannot be moved while LR is running.
    How can i move the folder within LR without LR running or if I move the catalog out of the folder in MAC Finder, will it impact the synchronicity of the file pATH? Where should the folder containing the catalog be kept? I keep some separate catalogs by year because of the amount of photos that they contain and I "store the catalog file within the LR folder on the HD

    Copy the catalog with Finder to the external. Copying the previews also is optional because if you don't LR will make new ones, but copying over the Previews.lrdata folder to the same location will save time. This is done with LR off. Now double click on the external catalog .lrcat file and LR will launch. After verifying that the new catalog is functioning properly, you can delete the old one from the internal.
