Thumbnail images are very poor, is there a way to improve them ?

I've just started using Lightroom 5, and right after importing them I noticed the images are of very poor quality. If I try and blow them up bigger using the slider they get even worse.
I've used Bridge in Photoshop to do this before and the images look great, so I can quickly look at them and sort the good from the bad.
I can't do this in Lightroom with the quality of the image thumbnails. So how do you make the thumbnails better?
Also does the camera MP size determine what the thumbnails look like? In other words If I used an 8MP camera, would the thumbnails look as good as they would coming from a 20MP camera?

And what type of previews are you creating during import (in the Build Previews section of the File Handling panel of the import dialog)?

  • I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey.  Is there any way to convert them?

    I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey.  Is there any way to convert them or must I do it on another machine?

    iPhoto used to support the PCD format up to a few years ago. It's extremely frustrating that Apple decided to no longer support this format and now I'm directed to pay nearly $40 for an app that will (GraphicConverter 9). Did Lemke Software make a deal with Apple so we'd have to pay a premium for a very overpriced converter? And, how are decisions like this supposed to encourage the use of iPhoto?
    Apple users already pay a premium to use a Mac. Obstacles like these eventually destroy loyalty to the Apple brand. Just ask Microsoft how their back room deals that exploited their customer base worked out for them.

    If you do not have a backup of the files on that old hard drive then your Firefox and other personal data is lost.

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

    After the most recent software update  my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage.  Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct?  In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

    When you say you were "trying to run your computer in admin mode," what exactly does that mean? What did you do? Details here are critical. It's possible you are just logged into the wrong account, or something simple like that, and your files are all still there. On the other hand, it's possible they're all gone... in which case, what kind of backups do you have?

  • I just updated my mac to Yosemite, after it's done I see that all my "notes" are gone. Is there a way to find them?

    I asked on another website and got this answer:
    – Quit all apps.
    – Press command shift G.
    – Type
    ~/Library/Containers/{not this}com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
    and then click "Go".
    – Drag "NotesV3.blahblah" to the desktop.
    – Rename "Notes V2.blahblah" to "NotesV3.blahblah"
    So it brought me to the Notes section in the finder. So there are three files: NotesV3.storedata , NotesV3.storedata-shm , NotesV3.storedata-wal Then there is a folder called Backups. In there are similar file names saying V3 but they start with a date (when I made the update?).
    Which files do I move? Nothing seems to say V2...
    Let me know if you need any extra information, I'm pretty lost. Thank you so much!

    I take it you didn't read the warning prior to updating the phone. It said that you need to backup before upgrading. You have two ways. 1) load apps off your old computer. 2) Download apps one at a time. Your apps are still tide to your account and you will not be charged.

  • I recently changed my apple id after closing an old yahoo email account. Now all of my shared photo streams are missing. Is there a way to get them back? One in particular was all photos of my first baby, my 8 month old daughter :(

    Please help!

    OK, so a couple of things:
    Did you delete the iCloud account and re-add it with the updated AppleID? If not, then do so.
    Also, try resetting the iPad - hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them until the Silver Apple appears. Then recheck your photostream.

  • How do I acquire waveforms in LabVIEW on multiple trigger conditions on a Tektronix TDS5000 scope? The signals are fast, so is there a way not to use a simple loop in LabVIEW?

    The signals are fast, so is there a way to acquire them without losing information? Do I have to use a loop in LabVIEW that just acquires when the trigger conditions are met?

    Hi,
    I would assume that the instrument has some sort of buffer that could store data while you are trying to download it. If this is not possible, you could use one of our DAQ cards to acquire data.
    Hope this helps.
