Thumbnail Size In LR 4.2

How do I change the size of my thumbnails when working in Library mode?

You use the Thumbnail size slider at the right-hand side of the Toolbar. See attached.
If you're not seeing the Toolbar, press T.

  • Pictures not displaying in non-thumbnail sizes

    One of my clients has an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and iPhoto 5.0.4. He's got about 3200 pictures in his iPhoto library which is about 12GB in size (they are all very large pictures). He's been using iPhoto without problem for years then suddenly he noticed that some pictures do not display in a slideshow. Out of the 3200 pictures he's narrowed it down so far to a few dozen pictures throughout his library. When we view the roll or the album with the pictures listed as thumbnails, we can see the picture just fine, but when we do anything that involves viewing at non-thumbnail size, such as double clicking on it or viewing in a slideshow it displays nothing. Slideshow just shows all black and double clicking on the thumb shows white with a spinning gear that never stops spinning. I rebuilt his library and that did not fix it. I repaired permissions, trashed iPhoto preferences, deleted tmp & cache files from his computer, I even zapped the PRAM out of desperation and nothing made any difference at all. One weird thing is that when it is siting at the white screen with spinning gear, if we resize the window smaller then resize it bigger, the picture will display properly but only for that time. It still will not display in slideshows.
    I tried exporting one of the troublesome pictures out of iPhoto to his desktop, delete the pic from iPhoto, then try re-importing it again. This time when we try to import it, iPhoto gives an error that the file couldn't be imported because it may be an unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data. I can open the pic on his desktop using Preview and Photoshop with no problems at all.
    Why am I posting this in the iPhoto '08 forum? well I copied the file to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 and iPhoto '08 and it almost does the same thing. I am able to import the file into iPhoto '08 and I can see the thumbnail but when I double click it, instead of a white screen with the spinning gear, i get a black screen and nothing else. I tried the trick of resizing the window and as I'm resizing, I do see a blocky image but as soon as I stop resizing the image goes black.
    I can open the file in any program on multiple computers: Photoshop, Preview, GraphicConverter, ColorSync Util, Safari, Firefox, etc. iPhoto version 5 and '08 (the only versions I have handy) refuse to work with the file. I've even edited the picture in photoshop by changing the resolution by just a few pixels and slightly tighter jpg compression but iPhoto still refuses to play nice with it.
    I have exhausted all options other than reinstalling the OS, but other posts I've read similar to this say that never fixes it. I am at a loss. What is wrong with iPhoto that it refuses to play nicely with pictures that work everywhere else in the world?
    I forgot to add that in Console there are several instances of iPhoto errors:
    "have info and image but no ciimage" and “have info and image but no ref”

    Clint:
    Try opening the file in one of the other applications that can use it and save as a new file and see if that new file is compatible with iPhoto. Or you might try this Automator workflow, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, on one and see if the resulting file will work. If so you can batch change all of them. It replaces the file you run it on so be sure to run it on a copy just to be safe. You can download it from Toad's Cellar or download it immediately with this link: Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • How can I increase the thumbnail size when using Safari to upload an image to a website?

    I upload many images to multiple websites and when using Safari to upload these images, the thumbnails are so small I can barely make out what the image is. I can easily figure out how to increase the thumbnail size when viewing them in Finder and set the default to my liking, but I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Safari. The last topic I saw on this was form 2013 and have not seen any update. Is there a way to do this?

    Delete all unused, invisible layers.
    Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
    Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
    Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

  • LightRoom 2: Enlarge thumbnail size in filmstrip?

    I'm running on a 30" monitor which is really great for workflow efficiency. BUT... the thumbnail images in the filmstrip are just too small and I'd like to be able to enlarge the thumbnail size.
    In Grid View, its easy to do this for grid view but does not help with the filmstrip view.
    Lee

    I'm using LR5, but I've been using Lightroom since LR2.  Earlier today, I suddenly found that the images in the filmstrip had shrunk and I couldn't figure out why.  I tried right-clicking on everything and looked through a bunch of preferences and view options without success.  I finally decided to enlist the help of Google.  This is the first search result that I checked and the answer was right there!  Dragging the top of the film strip has never occured to me, but now it seems so obvious!  This is my fourth version of Lightroom and I never realized I could do that!

  • CS6 Mini Bridge - Thumbnail size and preview

    I've just upgraded to CS6 (design & web premium) and was setting up my workspace in InDesign, and after adding (docking) Mini Bridge there seems to be no preview or anyway to change the size of the thumbnails I can view.
    I use Mini Bridge a lot as we have folders that include 100+ assets in, and it's good to see a small thumbnail to quick scan, then to click on it to see more detail.  Now all I can see is a maximum of 6 thumbnails, which means I will need to scroll a lot to find anything.
    I've read the following topic from the PS CS6 Beta forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4286375#4286375#4286375), and was wondering if this "as designed" thinking has been rolled over to  InDesign, meaning that in order to  change the thumbnail size (with no preview), I have to have Mini Bridge undocked and if I want to see more detail, I have to enlarge the thumbnail, then reduce again to carry on searching?
    If so, it seems like a massive oversight, as InDesign is a layout tool and having easy access to multiple documents to include (and to see what they are) is vital, which isn't helped by the seemingly arcane way to access folders.
    Hopefully this is me just being a bit dim and missing something obvious, otherwise it's going to cause a lot of hassle in my day to day work.
    If anyone has a definitive answer, that would be great.
    Cheers.
    Craig Hurford

    Adobe needs to realize that if "as designed" results in users thinking it's a bug or otherwise not useful — then it's a bad design choice and should be revised. They need to leave options in place for people that don't agree with some of their "new" aka bad ideas.
    Assuming users don't want to use Mini Bridge vertically is just ridiculous — especially since you can't dock it to the bottom in InDesign like you can in Photoshop.
    And not showing folders in the thumbnail view is most unintuative thing to do here. If it's a Mini Bridge, why doesn't it behave like bridge and at least have a check box for filtering out folders or something.
    Mini Bridge is kind of useless now.

  • Thumbnail size in Browser (Grid) View?

    Greetings,
    In Browser View, I change the size of the thumbnails to five across. When I close and then reopen Aperture, the thumbnail size has changed to four across. Is this the default size and is there a way to change it to keep it the way you set it?
    Thanks in advance - Scrags

    Aperture 2.0.1 will remember any adjustments to the size of thumbnails in the "Browser Only" window. If you select "Browser + Viewer" AND film stripe for thumbnails (not grid) then the thumbnail size will automatically be adjusted according to the size of the Browser window.

  • Printing to pdf file - only prints in thumbnail size

    Using Adobe Reader ver 10 and it will only create pdf (print) in thumbnail size. How can it be configured to create in full size 81/2 x 11?  Using Scansoft Create to create pdf files from word 2007.  Could the the scansoft printer driver be the problem.  Using PDF CREATE ver 5.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    You need to ask in a ScanSoft forum. This is not an Adobe product and as already mentioned, Reader can not create a PDF. Also be aware this is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum.

  • NEF files only show as thumbnail size in preview window

    I am using PSE 8 with Bridge CS4 and camera RAW 5.5 on MAC OS X 10.5.8
    I recently upgraded from a D80 to a D300s. when i import  RAW files into bridge from the 300s they only show up as thumbnail size in the preview window. It was fine with the D80 and JPEG's from the 300 show up large as well
    any thoughts?

    In Bridge, select the affected raw file and click Tools>>Cache>>Purge Cache for folder.
    If this does not work, you might want to increase the cache size in Bridge>>Preferences>>Cache.

  • Thumbnail size when uploading pics to Websites

    Ok, I've asked this question on several sites with no luck and getting a little frustrated. When attempting to load photos from file on my local harddrive to facebook, 500px, flickr, email, etc. the the thumbnails are fixed in size. The option to enlarge or reduce them is not available in any viewing mode. This only happens when attempting to upload them to a third party website. I've also tried both Safari and Chrome, I've adjusted thumbnail size in "finder" and they simply revert back to the fixed size when you open the upload window. Does anyone know the fix for this? Yes, you could use cover flow, but thats a work around at best and does not solve my problem of not being able to adjust thumbnail size at all in the upload window. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Hello byronic42,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    What happens when you attempt to upload a photo using Facebook for BlackBerry when connected to Wi-Fi? Do you receive the same error message?

  • Preserving layer thumbnail size (CS4)?

    I prefer to enlarge the thumbnails in the layers panel and would like to keep the size I choose whenever I open a new file.  It seems that saving the workspace with enlarged thumbnails does not accomplish this, and I have to resize them every time I open a file.  Is there a way to preserve my thumbnail size preference without having to reset it every time?

    Cool, that worked. On a Windows PC, the folder is located here:
    C:\Users\(Your User Name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings\en_US\New Document Profiles
    Ok so that works for when you start with a blank file and are creating from scratch, but what about if you want to open existing AI files and retain the larger thumbnail size setting? Hmmmm...
    At this point, I've probably spent more time on this than I ever would have by just manually changing the setting, but still...

  • I can only see album pictures on Facebook in thumbnail size, when I open the picture it will not load. I can open these pictures on other computers but not mine.

    I cant open album pictures on facebook on my computer, but i can on others. I can see pictures thumbnail size, so I can still see pictures, but when I go to open them to see them full size it will not load or show up.

    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.<br \>
    A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").<br \>
    Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.<br \>
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.<br \>
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.<br \>

  • Maximum thumbnail size?

    I know there is a way to set the maximum thumbnail size with a keyboard shortcut (?) so as only use the thumbnail and not resize the original on the fly. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks. B.

    Hi Brent,
    0 very small
    1 one photo in view
    2 max thumbnail size (I think this is the size that is in the Data folder) For my screen this will give me three thumbnails in a row

  • GenPrint spitting out Thumbnail size PDFs when using AddMultiPageBitmap

    Hello,
    I have an odd situation occurring that has me a little stumped, wondering if anybody has any insight. We setup a project to run in one of our test environments. The project uses the AddMultiPageBitmap rule to pull in one or more PDF's from the Linux server it's running on for some transactions. What's odd is that when the GenPrint shell script is executed by the scheduler (we use Zena), Genprint runs fine, and our resulting Metacode output contains the expected PDF's, but they're very small (we've been calling it 'thumbnail' size).  When I run the GenPrint shell script using a super-user ID (the one that was used to install Documaker on the server, as well as defined the majority of the folder structure on the server that our project uses), then the PDF's are normal/full size. It doesn't matter 'who' ran GenData, the NAFILE is the same.
    Since the only difference is where the scripts are located that are being run (the scheduled one is in an "installed to" location, whereas when I run it using the super-user ID, I'm just running it from a 'scripts' folder that I copied to the same parent folder that the Documaker project's subfolders are in), and the ID itself that's running it, that seems to imply it's authorization related, but there's nothing different in the log files, nothing in the output listing, errfile, etc. I've wondered if there's a Debug option I could try turning on to see if that spits out anything that would help, but not sure which rule to use/turn on.
    Has anybody ever run into something like this before, or have a better grasp on what could be happening and where I should look next?
    We're running 11.5, patch 4, and as I mentioned, we're running it on the Linux platform, creating Metacode output.
    Thanks,
    Gregg

    Hi Gregg,
    Everything you've mentioned seems to indicate that it's related to permissions. Is it possible that you could change the permissions on the PDF file (something like chmod 777) and see if this makes a difference in the resulting output? I've not heard of something like this before.

  • Working with large tables - thumbnail size

    Hi,
    I'm working with some oversized tables in IBA. What I usually do is make the table as needed and then use the "Uses thumbnail on page" option in the Layout section of the inspector and adjust the thumbnail size to fit the page as needed. What happened this time, that after the document has been closed and reopened, some tables reset the thumbnail size back to default, which is small. I can't seem to find what's causing this, one table is not behaving like that, although it's been done using the same method. Anyone else ran into the same thing? Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Why don't you use a stored proc?
    Why are you ordering it?
    Should I take partial entries in a loop? Yep. Because software isn't perfect. No point in attempting to process the universe when you know it will fail sometime and it is easier to handle smaller failures than large ones (and you won't have to redo everything.)

  • Pictures are thumbnail size after project import

    I imported a project from my external drive and some of the pictures in this project are normal in size but others appear the size of thumbnails. When double-clicking on them or pressing the F key they stay that thumbnail size in the viewer and I would like to get them to normal size. Please help.

    Thanx for answering "jinpack". The story is a little more complicated. My aperture libraries were not opening and I took the external hard drive to the Apple Store to a lady that is Aperture Certified. Bought a brand new external drive after running some tests on the older drive and on the MacBookPro. All tests appeared normal. So she right-clicked the projects and selected "Show package contents" and dragged them to the new external drive. I am not sure if she consolidated the libraries or if she did anything else but I returned yesterday and of course she was on vacation. Si I'll have to wait.
    I just went back to the old external drive where the libraries were (still are) and some of the pictures in that project were missing and they were there before. A lot of these are present in the new external drive but appear as small (I call them) thumbnail sized. I guess if I cannot find the master RAW images I can always go to master JPEGs.
    I really appreciate your help.
