PSD thumbnails not working.

When I save an edited picture as a psd image using pse9 on my Macbook Pro I just get an ikon showing a torn document in the Organizer. I can see the image in "Recently saved files" and I can load them from there. Googling this showed that others are having similar problems. Can anybody help"
Thanks

Does the file name include any unusual characters or periods? If so re-name using a hyphen or underscore.
Also check that the file is still in the correct place e.g. make sure you haven’t moved it outside of Elements using Finder.

PSD Thumbnails Not Showing

I have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended and for some reason the PSD thumbnails are not showing up.
The PSD files just show up with the blue PS icon but the thumbnail image is missing - I have to open each PSD to find out what the image is.
FYI, I am running Win XP Pro 32 Bit
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, thanks!

For future readers of this thread (e.g., those who might find it through a search):
The psicon.dll fix listed in the link posted above will ONLY work on a 32 bit system.
There is no free solution for 64 bit systems (e.g., Windows 7 x64) at this time, so if you have an x64 system don't waste your time trying it. Commercial software must be purchased to do the job. There are several good packages out there.

Thumbnails not working in windows 7 and windows 7 RC

When I used to view my security camera video card in Vista I would get a thumbnail view of each 10 second video produced.. This made it easy to skip through each video produced and pick out the ones that I thought would be best to check. This would be watched after about a week or so of videos. Now in Windows 7 and windows 7 RC I cannot seem to find this thumbnail view. All I can see is the media player film type .AVI icon for each video. Is there any way of turning the thumbnail function back on. I have tried all the registry fix changes that have been suggested and they don't work. I have downloaded different codec programs and they don't work. The icon/thumbnail box is unchecked in folder views and that doesn't work. Is there an answer to my problem. Does any one know if Microsoft are working on a change to get thumbnails to work with .AVI files. Hope you can help.

Hi guys,
I found a solution for this issue on windows 7 64 bits !
I'm on the 7100 I couldn't get thumbnail preview for my .MOV or .mp4 files. Sometime I could get one or 2 thumb out of 30 in the folder.
I changed and added a few key to the registry to fix this preview thing:
IN REGEDIT:
_ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
where I only had 2 key inside the shellex.
_I looked inside the mpeg shellex ( because mpeg would generate good thumbnails:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
where it had 3 keys
_SO what I tried was to copy those 3 key and replace my .mov shellex 3 key with those.
this is what you can do:
-open regedit
-right click on: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
then export it ( it will be your backup in case it doesn't work or you mess up something you will just have to click on it to instal it again.
Then,
- remove the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\ "KEY
-open notepad
-paste the following in your notepad file:
-----------------------don't paste this line-------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{3D1975AF-0FC3-463d-8965-4DC6B5A840F4}]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{E357FCCD-A995-4576-B01F-234630154E96}]
@="{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}"
-----------------------don't paste this line-------------------------
-save it under whatevername.reg ( be sure to use "all file" kind of type file.)
-double click on the reg file you just saves you just saved , it will reinstal the shellex inside the .mov key here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov
with the right keys and stuff.
-close regedit
-open a folder containing your .MOV, refresh the files several times to be sure, it should be working.

Simple button highlights in PSD menu not working properly in Encore

I'm having some trouble making even basic menus this week - I'm working on a couple of projects that need simple menus on their DVDs, but I can't get them to work.
For one project, it's a simple menu with a photo as the background and two buttons - 'Play' and 'Behind the Scenes'. Each button group consists of a text layer with the button title and a layer called '(=1) Highlight'. The highlight layer is a simple straight line underneath the text. Nothing is overlapping, however the line is not appearing on one of the buttons. The group is detected as a button in Encore, and works when it is linked to the timeline, but the line does not appear
With the other project I've been working on this week, there's a few menu pages - a main menu, and some chapter select sub menus. These menus look a bit fancier, but the buttons are still fairly simple - they basically consist of a line of text, but this time the highlight is a rectangular outline. I'm having what looks like the same problem with these menus - the highlights aren't displaying correctly. Most of the outlines are missing their bottom lines - so only a three-sided box is appearing.
I've made plenty of menus before using the same method, and more complicated ones than this too, without running into any issues. I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is, despite starting over and making the menus from scratch several times, and making them one step at a time, importing them into Encore at every step to test. At some point, one or more of the highlights will always stop working. Despite this systematic approach, I'm still baffled. I'm using Photoshop CS5.1 and Encore CS5.1. After running into problems on one computer I tried making menus from scratch on another computer with the same version software but had the same problem.
Has anyone got any suggestions of things I should try that might solve this problem? I can send an example of a menu that's not working for me if anyone would like to take a look.

Thank you, everyone, for your continued support.
I have tried everything suggested here, plus lots more, since I last posted. There are glitches no matter what I do. I don't think it's anything to do with what I'm doing in Photoshop as I've tried using some menus from the Encore library and I'm having the same problem with those. I've also tried using buttons from the Encore library on my menus with the same result.
But that got me to thinking - perhaps it's just a glitch with Encore's previews. So I tried actually building a DVD image, even with the menus that appeared to be broken, and they turned out to be fine. So it must just be a glitch in the Encore preview.
I've also discovered another bug while doing this - if you create a menu in Encore, it's always NTSC, even if the project is PAL. It makes a 4:3, 720x480 menu with a PAR of D1/DV NTSC 0.91. Surely, if you've set up a PAL project, and you create a new menu, it should create one that's actually PAL?

Creation of previews/thumbnails of PSD files not working in v3.0.1

I'm using Aperture 3.0.1, PS 4 to edit photographs.
My workflow will be the usual, Photo > Edit with Adobe PS, in my Aperture browser thumbnails/previews will be created for the PS file.
When I save my work in PS, the thumbnails and previews in Aperture are not being updated properly, show horizontal magenta/cyan lines, noise, clearly some of the layers are not being processed, some layers are not being resized to the right preview format, it's a complete mess.
I tried to delete/update previews, no difference.
It's an absolute shame, this worked perfectly in Aperture 2.1 and is absolutely necessary in my workflow. I'm seriously thinking to go back to 2.1.
Anyone with suggestions to get this working? Thanks

Having some similar problems and unfortunately some different ones as well...
I would love to know any tips you might have in identifying the "faulty" PSD files that Aperture 3 cannot deal with or more like the the PSD files that FAULTY Aperture cannot deal with (they worked fine in 2.1.4, Preview, iPhoto, etc).
I ask because the problem I have is that as soon as I hit one file that never finishes generating a thumbnail for, then I am done since everything else just queues up behind it and I can't diagnose anything else. As I said in an earlier post, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO INCLUDE USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC INFO IN THE "ACTIVITY WINDOW", so that we could tell which images are being "processed" (or more importantly not being processed).

PSD button not working in ie10

the rollover is working but the down click isnt switching the image. I am using the layered psd button and have check all images to make sure everything is right. It does work in preview thru muse and does work in preview view site in browser but not after i upload the site to myhost. it doesnt work.
It does work in google chrome though. the site is dwightkeener.com. the rollover click is my portrait top left corner
Thanks

Jennifer,
I found that the problem comes with IE10 "Compatability" mode. If there is a "split paper" icon up next to the magnifying glass in the browser navigation field, click on that. If not (mine doesn't show it), go to the tools icon (looks like a gear) in the upper right of your screen. Click on F12 Developer. A menu will show up at the bottom of your screen. Click on Browser Mode. You can then change in or out of compatibility mode. I found that my build worked perfectly when I was looking at it in the correct mode. Sad, though, that many people will never see it as it is meant to be due to having to take extra steps. I would guess most of the general public has NO idea what that little split page icon at the top of their screen is for!

.psd file not working with Motion 5

I have a .psd that doesn't want to work with Motion 5. Every time I try and import it, Motion says that it's not a valid codec. I can't figurt out what's going on, all my other .psd files seem to work.
Yes, I'm using RGB colors not CMYK (that is the onne known issue thus far).
I'm just totally at a lose. Here's what the console says, if anyone has any insight, I woudl appreciate it:
6/27/11 1:12:55 PM [0x0-0xb50b5].com.apple.motionapp[1326] CPSDSlicesResourceItem::Load(): unsupported slice resource item version (8)

I'd be happy to email one of them to you if you'd like. Or give it to you in some fashion at any rate. I'm not seeing this problem pop up anywhere else on the internet, so I'm guessing it's just me. But it would be nice to check with another motion user.
Email me at jay <no space, just keeping the bots guessing> carr <at> gmail <I'm sure you can guess> com.
It certainly would be nice to see what happens when I give it to you. I'm having some very significant issues with PDFs and can't figure out why...

Thumbnails not working in XFCE (I did extensive search in Google)

I'm new to Arch linux and I have to say that I like it since it's MUCH faster than Ubuntu. But I have a problem, I can't seem to make thumbnails work in Thunar, I tried to search for solutions in google but to no avail.
I have these packages installed:
thunar
ffmpeg thumnailer
thunar-archive-plugin
thunar-media-tags-plugin
thunar-thumbnailers
thunar-volman
And the thing I don't understand is that I don't have "thunar-vfs-update-thumbnailers-cache-1"... is it depricated?
Thanks for your help and I hope I will stay in the community as long as I can.

Thumbnails not working

I can't drag and drop thumbnails into different PDF files like I used to. The thumbnails seem locked.

I think I was encountering the same issue.
I solved it installing Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if I'm not using Itunes at all.
Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.
I closed my topic because I solved it :

Is it the same for you ?

Viewing PSD thumbnails...

Hi,
So sick of not being able to view PSD thumbnails, not even from the regular "OPEN FILE" dialog in Photoshop CS6.
Besides 3rd party commercial software like Mystic Thumbs, what solutions are out there for me?
Thanks.

Looks like a cool app. To bad Microsft decided to make it harder to find the codecs. Anyway, the system is Approx. a year old. Its possible another app installed the codec with it.
OK, downloaded and ran it. The only thing I can think of which I totally forgot about was the Canon Raw codec. Other than that just Microsoft is listed.
Ah, jeesh I overlooked it, the psd codec is from Microft apparently it came on my system. It's dated 2010 which would explain why 2012 files don't display, but the 2007 should have. Must be behind a version when they created it.
Anyway, here is the screen grabs...

I downloaded the PSD trial. Worked in it. Saved my file. Now when I try to open it it says "not a valid photoshop file"

I downloaded the PSD trial. Worked in it. Saved my file. Now when I try to open it it says "not a valid photoshop file"

That depends on why it won't open. Most of the time it means the file is corrupted and unlikely to be recovered. If you saved it right after adding or copying a LOT of layers - then it might just be the layer limit and we can attempt to recover it.

Adobe thumbnail preview does not work in adobe acrobat 8.0

Please advise.
It is adobe acrobat 8.0 professional using win XP SP3

Thanks for answering my queries.
Could you please let get me the following details as well:

Thumbnail preview works in adobe reader 9 but does not work in adobe 8.0

I have small issue. Thumbnail works in adobe reader 9 but but does not work in adobe acrobat 8.0 in win xp

Anyone going to tell me how to do this uninstalling and installing??????????
I don't want to mess things up even more! Geez--I'm almost 60 years old,
need to work and this might be costing me a job. I'm not 20 and text and
e-mail etc every day. I'm just asking for a little help that as I see it ,
is due to a "glitch" with Adobe's software. They can easily in their
technological minds put a warning on anything before someone downloads
anything such as "If you download this and you have already downloaded
that,, then it won't work." How tough would that be??? They, like most other
major corporations, are in it for the money. What has happened to customer
service???
I need a step by step with my hand held and so it won't screw up things even
MORE. Adobe...get your customer service and your software together...This is
draining. I may lose a job over it. I need to have my computer running well
at this point in time as there is no extra time to spend dealing with
software issue that are a result of Adobe's software incompatibility.
I was on the phone for TWO hours last night telling people exactly what was
going on. I even read the error message word for word. No one would help me
unless I coughed up the money that I don't have...and in addition I will
lose a job that might get me some money. This is why I am so upset. Why is
dealing with Adobe always so difficult??? Of course, I am upset. I'm
actually a lovely person. It is just that this stuff rattles my nerves.
Especially when there is a jobwith a raiseinvolved that I may lose as a
result.
Now I had better get dressed and ready for the job I have now before I am
late for work and lose that job, too.....

Thumbnail view for Library copied from Asset Library does not work

Hello ,
I created list definition based on Assed Library (I copied files from \15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\AssetLibrary\AssetLibrary ) - I reused schema.xml and other files.
Then I added my new custom content type.
The problem is following: thumbnail view does not work now ( "/AssetLibraryDemo/Forms/Thumbnails.aspx" )
I don't have any javascript errors and any specific error in ULS log.
Can you give me advice, why thumbnail view has stopped working?

I need to use "List teplates" gallery functionality for this task.

TS3391 iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project.

iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project. I googled the problem and there were discussions about deleting files in various folders and renaming clip extensions. I don't like the solutions I saw there and I am not sure they will work.

Nobody replied so I called Apple. They seemed to think they could fix the problem but I had to agree to pay about $20 first. I told them to put it down as a complaint. I only want to use the software I bought. I can't see that it is my fault it is malfunctioning. I guess I will have to pay. It doesn't seem right.
