Thumbnail Preview Problem in LR3

I'm having a problem with some of the thumbnails of tif images edited externally in PS CS3. The images are edited with a silver FX smartfilter but back in LR they do not appear black and white. I've done this hundreds of times and never had this problem. Recently when I return to LR the images show in colour (identical to the RAW files) and not with the black and white adjustments. Opening the files in the finder shows that they are black and white. No module in LR shows them accurately though.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Omar

If you double click on the file, does it open and play?
If you right click, or control- click, on the .MOV file and select "Open with QuickTime Player.app", does it work there? I have hundreds of videos I've made, downloaded, converted, exported, etc., and I've had no problems with any of them in QuickTime. I have only watched an handful in the QuickLook preview mode, but have not had any problems there.
Did you create the file? Do you still have the source files that you could make it again and see if it works.
I hope one of these might be helpful.
Ciao. Joel.

  • Layer Thumbnail Preview Problems CS4

    I recently started having an issue with the layer thumbnails.  In the past, when I would create a new shape (with the rectangle tool for instance) the layer thumbnail preview would look like the first image I've inserted.  Now when I create a new shape with the same tool (in a new file) I get a layer thumbnail preview like the second image.  All the panel options are the same, so it isn't the thumbnail size setting under panel options.  I prefer the thumbnail preview from image 1.  I am creating documents that many people will be using (most have basic photoshop skills) so the preview from image 1 is much easier to use and understand.  Any help with this situation would be much appreciated, as I cannot figure out what back end setting has changed?

    Thanks!  They are exactly the same in every way.  I think I've figured it out.  It seems the layer preview is based on the size of the file or document.  For instance, the problem started when I created a business card file sized at 3.75" wide by 2.25" high.  Don't know what the magic number is, but when I created a file sized at 5" by 5" square, the layer thumbnail preview looks the way I want it to (image 1).  It's strange, but it looks like I'm going to have to live with it when creating file sizes like this...

  • Thumbnail preview problem

    .I have a problem with my PDF files. At first, the PDF files have their corresponding THUMBNAIL PREVIEWS. But there was a time, after I boot up my PC, the PDF files dont recognize anymore their reader, so when i manually set the adobe reader into default, the pdf files have no more capability of showing into thumbnail preview. I hope u can help me. i am using windows 7 32bit thanks a lot

    Hi jackstick,
    Try a library rebuild;
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.
    iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library

  • Nef thumbnail preview on Mountain Lion

    Does anybody else have thumbnail preview problems with Nef Raw files on Mountain Lion? (Raw files taken from a Nikon D800)
    Preview images seem to be really low res, it's really annoying as I use the coverflow to quickly preview files before working on them
    I've recently done a system update & this hasn't cured the problem! Would really appreciate any advise if anybody knows a fix to this.
    Cheers

    Can you post the crash log?

  • PDF Thumnbnail preview PROBLEM (Windows 7 x32)

    I have problems now with my adobe reader thumbnail preview.
    This started when I had unistall my Adobe Photoshop cs5 white rabbit to replace with Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. When I uninstalled it with Revounistaller, the thumbnail preview for my pdf files was gone. I tried to do some troubleshootings like:
    1. downloading the Adobe thumbnail 64-bit windows 7 provided by programmers but it wont work since i am a 32-bits user.
    2. uninstalling and reinstalling adobe reader x
    3. reinstalling a previous version of adobe reader
    4. uninstalling and reinstalling adobe photoshop cs5 extended
    5. downloading and installing Foxit reader; it had resolved the problem but when I reboot the PC, the problem just came back
    6.  Downloaded a program that enable thumbnail preview for images like Nikon, PSD files and PDF files
    7. Cleaning the registry with tune up 2012 and manually
    and none of these had work and restored back my pdf thumbnail preview.
    I have also noticed on my registry
    AcroExch.Document cannot be solved by my tuneup. Manually, it cannot be deleted.
    Oh, I am so desperate in looking ways on how to solve this. I hope experts of Adobe can help me solve my problem/frustration.
    By the way, I am Adobe reader is one of my very useful programs.

  • Thumbnail Preview for RAW Files Not Appearing in Bridge

    Hello,
    I'm running Adobe Bridge 5.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 (recently upgraded to Maverick) and I can no longer see thumbnail previews for my RAW files (which include .NEF, .CR2 and .RAF) though as of a few days ago this wasn't a problem. Not sure if it's related to the Maverick upgrade... but FYI, I do see thumbnail previews for .TIFF and .JPEG files.
    I've already purged my cache generally and have also as a test chosen a local file to purge - that didn't work.
    I've restarted Bridge at least 2x by pressing and holding the Option key.
    I've also checked for Bridge updates - everything is up to date.
    My Cache Options (within Preferences) are set to "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" and "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" - both checked.
    Also downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter 8.3, installed it but that didn't work.
    I can't seem to find my Bridge cache folder or at least what's in the Library's "Caches" folder doesn't include anything for Bridge - see screenshot below.
    Please help! Thank you in advance.

    To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
    The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
    I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
    Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
    For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
    Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences  and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
    The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
    The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

  • (SOLVED) Taskbar thumbnail preview disappears quickly

    I have windows 7 RC on my laptop, Dell 1501.
    When I start one or more programs from the taskbar and hover my mouse pointer on them I can see thumbnail previews.
    The problem is that thumbnail previews disappear too quickly even though my mouse pointer is still on the opened program in taskbar.
    I have to move my mouse so I can get another quick preview.
    I notice that if I click on an empty space on the taskbar with the left mouse button, and then point to an opened program the thumbnail preview stays for as long as my mouse pointer is on the program.
    Does anybody have that problem?
    EDIT:
    I notice something else,
    if I open regedit or computer management and one of them is active, all other opened programs on the taskbar have long thumbnail preview.
    But if for example windows explorer is the active window on taskbar, thumbnail previews stay for a short time.
    SOLUTION: dell 1501 specific and may be bios version
    1. shut down the laptop
    2. remove the power supply and the battery
    3. press and hold the power button (I pressed it 2-3 times and kept it pressed for about 1 second) --- obviously the laptop will not start.
    4. plug in the battery and the power supply, start the laptop and check if the problem is gone.

    teeqeela: "I can't believe it! Same dell, same problem, same solution. Thanks man!"
    If that was for me, my pleasure.
    Noel Carboni: "I'd be curious to know whether you've found the reason it was happening"
    I'm curious about the reason, but not prepared to spend the time to find it; I don't think we'd learn enough from it to justify the time. Back pre-Windows pre-Internet I spent weeks painfully debugging. It's
    hugely more complicated now, the Internet finds most things quickly anyway, and the tedious tracing doesn't bring many useful insights. I can't give answers, I'll just repeat the facts - any proposed answer must address them. Some details in the numbered points
    I made a few messages back. The problem first manifested (for me, and I believe for others) some months after installing Win7 on Inspiron 1501 (specifically that machine). It's cleared by removing all power, and by a couple of software tricks (disable gadgets,
    registry hack). Once cleared by power removal, it stays clear for weeks (not months) then recurs (don't yet know how permanent other fixes will turn out to be). One thinks of things such as some bit in system memory that gets set somehow, and never reset until
    power is removed (it might be a memory location always alive and watching for a wake-on-lan or other wakeup event), which Win8 expects to find reset. But why the month's delay? Win7 (32- and 64-bit) works fine on Inspiron 1501, but is not officially supported,
    and some non-Dell drivers must be used; they work fine. I could go on till the cows come home, but I've got myself a usable machine, and told others about it, so that's it.

  • Thumbnails & Preview filenames do not match Master filename

    Hi - can't find any threads regarding this...
    Basic problem is that Aperture is not renaming the Preview & Thumbnail filenames when it renames images on import - anyone else experiencing this problem?
    I have a managed Aperture Library (2.1.3). I rename my image files on import using the Import dialogue set to Custom Name & Counter and Apply to Master filename checked. However the Preview file, the Thumbnail file and the Finder folder holding the images do not get renamed.
    Since the Media Browser uses the Preview files rather than the Master files when importing images into other apps (eg. Pages or uploading to a blog) the files used all have the wrong names.
    For Instance:
    I have a canon image file named IMG1234.JPG.
    I import this file to Aperture and use the import dialogue to rename to Custom Name SUNSETNEVADA.JPG (with apply to Master Filename checked).
    In Aperture what I see in my project is SUNSETNEVADA.JPG as the Version Name and the Master filename - as expected.
    However the Thumbnail & Preview files are still called IMG1234.JPG - you can't see this directly from within Aperture you need to open Finder and drill down thru the Library package where you find that your Master file is called SUNSETNEVADA.JPG but it lives in a folder called IMG1234.JPG with a Thumbnail file called IMG1234.JPG and a Preview file called IMG1234.JPG.
    I then open Pages and open the Media Browser.
    I select Photos, and then my Aperture library, find my project and select SUNSETNEVADA.JPG.
    The file that gets imported into Pages is the preview file called IMG1234.JPG.
    The same happens in any situation where I use the Media Browser to browse the Apertuer library and import images, because the Media Browser always uses the Preview file.
    The only work around I have is to export images directly from Aperture and then browse the Finder to import them to other apps - avoiding the Media Browser and Preview files altogether.
    I have notified Apple Pro Support who claimed to be unaware of this error.
    If you have seen the same problem please notify Apple Support.
    Any thoughts or solutions welcome. Thanks

    I am seeing the same thing, as I have lost all my masters and can only get my pics by copying preview files, which all have the old names.

  • Upgrade to 2013 leaves "Images" library without Thumbnail Preview working

    The issue I am seeing is occurring after an update from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The library is a publishing library created in 2010. These features are enabled in 2013. Looking at the "Thumbnail Preview" column in any view shows the
    generic sheet of paper icon. Viewing the images in the "Thumbnail" view shows the thumbnails correctly. The images for the list in question are all .gif. As far as I know those are the only ones failing, but we could have missed some other filetypes. 
    I've tried moving a document to a newly created Images library and the preview shows as expected. So I believe I've pretty easily demonstrated that the actual image is not a problem and that SharePoint 2013 can render it. However, it's not a workable solution
    to move these files.
    If I open the library with Fiddler, I get a 404 error for 256_icgif.gif. From there it's been sort of a dead end as I wouldn't know where to test and see if that's part of the issue.
    This is our dev environment before upgrading to 2013 so we're looking for a fix we can perform during or before the upgrade.
    Thanks!

    Hi Christopher,
    Casting my mind back to the Beta, I hit something similar during a test upgrade and if I remember rightly it was to do with the content type mappings that came across. There are two content types Picture and Image which behave differently, so try swapping
    the available content types in the library and changing that.

  • Movie thumbnail previews in Coverflow and Grid view...not there

    I'm using Snow Leopard and have both QT-X and QT 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro.
    In Finder, I have a folder containing several movie types including mpeg, avi, mov, qt, m4v, mp4, flv and wmv
    I've noticed that I don't see thumbnail previews for any of these movies and wondered if anybody else can see their thumbnails, either in Grid View or Coverflow
    In 3-column view, the thumbail appears once the file is highlighted.
    In iTunes, the thumbnail also appears (for those that can be added to the Library)
    I also have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac apps installed.
    I've tried re-launching Finder after deleting the com.apple.quicklook.plist file
    Thanks

    I also tried this (deleting the Quicklook cache) and no luck, still the same issue.
    I did a clean installation and this works
    However, I did again the installation and imported my USER profile in FULL via the assistant when you first configured Snow Leopard (using an FULL BACKUP copy and/or Time Machine Backup) and then problem reappears
    I have reinstalled DivX, Desinstalled RealPlayer deinstalled Perian and still the same issue. I cannot see the Thumbnails or the Cover Flow of the video/movie file such MPG, MPG, AVI, WMV but it works for MP4 I have for my IPod
    I finally gave up and left this last installation and I did not have the energy to migrate my data, emails, settngs, etc manually.
    By the way, the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8 towards Snow Leopard 10.6 was smooth but the performance was awful specially after installing 10.6.1. With the upgrade I had the same issue with my USER account or with any, NO THUMBSNAILs for most of my videos enough though they are played correctly in Quicktime and Quicklook....
    Any help????

  • Thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64bit)

    Is there a way to enable thumbnail previews under Windows Explorer for Acrobat X Pro? I just installed the trial and these are missing.
    I know there was a bug in Acrobat 9 which required a third party hack to fix. I had hoped by now this would work correctly. Has this still not been fixed?
    Thanks.

    Lol.  Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years.  Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity.  Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed.  Then came Acrobat 9.   And now "X".  Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

  • Large thumbnail previews in Finder?

    Is there any way I can select LARGE thumbnail previews for images on my hard drives in the 'Finder' window? I.e. like in Windows Explorer; where you can actually see the image? I have 1000's of photos, & if I'm searching for a specific image I really need to be able to see the thumbnail clearly or it will take me hours to find the photo I'm looking for. At the moment they are tiny-weeny & I can't see anything at all of the image.Thanks.

    I thought this had solved this problem, but unfortunately, this does not work when I'm trying to attach images to an e-mail. I open 'attachments' in Hotmail, & it brings up the Finder window, but of course the menu bar at the top is not the Finder menu - it's the Google Chrome/Firefox menu bar (or whatever browser I'm using). So there is no option to 'show status bar'. This is actually incredibly annoying, as when the thumbnails are tiny & I'm trying to selct from a large number of photos, it's very hard to see which ones I wanted to send. I end up having to write down all the image numbers first. This cannot surely be how a Mac is supposed to work in the 21st century?..!
    I would be very grateful for any other ideas...

  • The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC

    The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC. The actual files are fine and open with the correct rich colors, but the colors don't look as vibrant as they should when viewing in Bridge. It's only PDFs that are affected. The InDesign thumbnails/previews display correctly in Bridge.
    This was not happening when I was using CS6. This is only a problem since the upgrade to CC.
    Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If you're going to mess with the registry
    - create a restore point http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows7/create-a-restore-point
    - backup the registry http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-registry
    I absolutely plead with all my heart - don't start changing registry entries unless you know what you're doing - or ask your IT department to take a look.
    If you don't have an IT department, then source a good professional that can make these changes.
    If any way unsure - then under any circumstances, - do not mess with the registry.

  • No thumbnails/preview in Nautilus for files in a smb shared folder.

    Hi,
    This is a problem I have tried to solve for more than a year by posting in forums, trial and error and a lot of Google searches. For my work I have to look through large folders on a smb share with movie files. I need thumbnails/preview to be able to work efficiently. On Ubuntu and other deb based distros I have thumbnails/preview in Nautilus just by setting it in the Naurilus preferences for networked folders. Not so on Arch (and Antergos). I do have thumbnails/preview for local files, but regardless of what I do not for the smb shared folders. I have of course configured Nautilus to preview all files.
    I can see that there are generated failed thumbnails in ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory, so for some reason they are not generated correctly for the movie files in the smb shared folder on Arch. I have tried to install ffmpegthumbnailer and tons of other methods I have found in the forums and elsewhere, but I have not been able to get it to work. And again, on Ubuntu it works out of the box so it's not like there's a bug in Nautilus preventing thumbnails for files on a network share.
    I'm running GNOME as my DE, but it doesn't seem to matter which DE I run as long as Nautilus or Nemo is the file manager.
    I do not expect a solution, but one can always hope!

    I had a similar issue, and it turns out nautilus was using ffmpegthumbnailer instead of totem-video-thumbnailer.
    And ffmpegthumbnailer doesn't seem to work with files on "smb://...". It was generating empty pngs.
    Do you have totem installed et does this create an image ?
    totem-video-thumbnailer "smb://videoserver/pathtovideofile/videofile" test.png
    Did you try to uninstall ffmpegthumbnailer or video thumbnailers other than totem ?

  • Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews

    I have just noticed a problem that I have not encountered until I upgraded to 3.3.  After I export my images as jpegs, the thumbnail previews are not complete for a few of the files.  I get about two corrupt thumbnails in Windows Explorer out of 100 exported images.  Here is a screenshot showing what they look like.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1426292/Capture.JPG
    The images are fine when I open the files, but the previews are not complete.  I would like to fix it so my clients don't get "broken" thumbnail views.  Has anyone else seen this problem?  Suggestions are welcomed.  Thanks.

    No, I have only VERY rarely had this happen.  I don't use this workflow. I was trouble shooting an issue for someone that is having a problem. I was quite surprised to see it happen. The computer is an i7 running Vista 64.
    Your fix would require ALL previews to be rebuilt. I have a catalog of over 80,000 images. I don't see that as a reasonable fix. If it was a problem, I'd rather try deleting image from catalog and then sync the folder again and see if that fixed it. No need to trash a bunch of good previews for one bad apple. : ) especially since it's just a test jpeg image. I suspect a read/write time with image size and such playing a role.
