Trouble viewing .tif files in bridge?

When I open a folder of images in Bridge I can see the CR2 files but the edited .tif files only appear as a generic .tif icon, and when I press the space bar to try to preview them larger I get that same icon. I can see some of the .tifs as the icons but when I try to view those larger it's only a tiny preview image, like a 1"x1" icon. The only way I can view the images is to physically open each one in photoshop

CR2 files are raw Canon files. If you can open them, it means your OK as far as the installation of the proper version of the ACR Plugin.
If you can't see the thumbnails of the TIFFs but you can open the files themselves in Photoshop by double-clicking on them, then all you may have to do is Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu of Bridge Tools > Cache > Purge cache for folder "name_of_folder".
Note that I am flying blind here as you haven't provided any sensible, meaningful and detailed information about your setup.
If you gave some sensible, complete and detailed information, someone may be able to help you, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, etc.

  • Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari

    i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Not sure but maybe some exotic compression? Where did you get
    that TIFFs
    and how they were prepared?

  • Script to view SVG files in Bridge?

    Is there a script to view SVG files in Bridge? I have to compare 55k images converted from eps to svg.

    Very grateful for your response and time.
    The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
    Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
    I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
    By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
    I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?

  • ACR 4.4.1 does not open TIF file from bridge (CS3)

    Hi,
    I have the preferences in CS3-Bridge and ACR set to open JPG & TIF files in ACR and not CS3 but when I click on a TIF file in bridge it opens in PS CS3 instead. These TIF files were generated by a GUI interface for ENFUSE which is an algorythm that combines bracketed RAW or JPG exposures for expanded dynamic range... it works very well ad outputs to TIF... but I can't seem to open these TIFs in ACR. Isn't a TIF a TIF?
    Is there a way to force ACR to open these?

    There are many varieties of TIF files (including b/w fax images).
    I have no idea if this will work, but you could try opening one of the files in Photoshop, saving as a TIF from Photoshop, and then see if that new TIF file will open in ACR. At least it should let you know of opening of TIF/JPG files in Camera Raw is working correctly.

  • Bridge: Using Thumbnail Viewing TIF Files

    Using the Bridge and thumbnail viewing, our TIF files do not provide a preview. What am I doing wrong?

    I think I have things configured correctly in dc20 and dc30. I can view tiffs thru the gui (cv03n) and if I select a tiff from EasyDMS , right click , view thru gui and edit thru gui all work.
    If I select a tiff and right click then click on "edit file", the file opens in the picture viewer and the little lock icon appears. I can also then check in the file.
    The only item that does not work is the "view file" (without using the gui). I see the "Downloading File" box come up and I can see where the file goes into the temp directory, but the application never starts up.
    DC30 Workstation application entry:
    TIF
    TIFF Documents
    Archive and File Suffix are blank
    .tif,.tiff

  • Viewing tif files in Preview, Dropbox

    I've created two image files in Photoshop, removing hidden layers, merging layers, and then flattening the layers, saving them as tif files. One is about 4 MB; the other is about 24 MB.
    The 4 MB files shows up fine in QuickView and in Preview; the 24 MB file shows up with a white background and one element from one of the layers.
    I've also tried this saving the 24 MB tif file in layers, preserving the alpha; same result.
    Uploaded to Dropbox, both tif files show up with only one layer visible, even though the file has flattened all the layers!
    Thanks for any help you can offer sorting this out. I'd like to be able to view the 24 MB tif file in Preview.

    Since you can open the TIFFs on a PC, then there must be something wrong with Preview on your Mac. You can use Pacifist to extract the Preview application from your original OS X installation CD/DVD. Replace the one currently on the hard drive.
    But there's quite a few other apps that will open a TIFF. Photoshop, Graphic Converter, InDesign, Quark and Illustrator to name a few. There's a bunch of free and shareware viewers you could download here.

  • Cannot view cr2 files in Bridge cs4 & Windows 7

    I can not convert the cr2 files in cs4      nor read them with new Windows 7      Home Edition 64 bit computer
    Upon      downloading from my camera I am unable to view the images.
    After      downloading the file, when clicking on the file in Bridge to bring it into      Photoshop I get the following message” Could not complete your request      because it is not the right kind of document”
    I am      able to view the images on the media card from the camera.
    I have      contacted Canon and they suggest that it’s a software issue and that I      should  go to the Adobe website and      look for Windows 7 64 updater.
    I was      unable to find anything with this reference but I updated to Bridge 5.7.
    After      trying to see the images after the update I was still unable to view the      images so I logged onto the Adobe Support site and was told that they no      longer support cs4.
    Any suggestions ?

    Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
    The way that works is this:
    1.  You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
    2.  You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
    3.  It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
    4.  You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
    While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

  • New Nikon D3100... Can't view NEF files in Bridge?!

    Hi guys,
    I have just purchased a Nikon D3100, taken some snaps and tried to view them using Adobe Bridge.
    Unfortunately I only get the NEF icon and when I try to open in Photoshop the file is not recognised.
    I have attempted to follow numerous discussions and help topics to be able to view my photos but none have seemed to have worked and now Im sure I have files/folders in the wrong place or deleted!!! It is incredibly fustrating!!!
    I am an amateur running CS4 and would really appreciate if someone could help me view my photos?
    Jim

    I believe your camera was released after Photoshop CS5, which means you will need that version of Photoshop for direct support of your raw files.  However, if you download the current version of the DNG converter you can convert your NEF to DNG files.  Then you will be able to open the raw image data with your version of Photoshop/ACR.

  • Viewing CR2 files in Bridge/Photoshop

    Using the CS4 suite, downloaded the Camera Raw 5.6 updater and it doesn't seem to do anything.
    How can I view CR2 Canon raw files in Bridge and open in Photoshop?

    What camera model/make are you using?  If a later model ACR of CS4 might not cover it.

  • Unable to view TIF files saved in pse7 on a Mac

    Hello! I burnt a few TIF files (downloaded as RAW files from camera via Lightroom 2.5, then converted to 8 bit TIF via pse7) onto CD. I was able to view the images on another pc but not on a Mac. Is there anything I can do? Maybe change settings on the Mac? Many thanks!

    It's most likely the settings you used for burning. Try burning a disc using Joliet, or just using the built-in burning capability in Explorer and see if you still have the same problem.

  • Viewing tif files - not tiff

    I am using iWS 4.1 to serve my tif files viewed by IE5.x
    The problem is that on some platforms, the request comes for a tiff file rather than tif and of course the file does not exists and user gets an error.
    Can we setup iWS to return tif file when a request comes for a tiff file? I hear IIS has such a feature.
    Thanks,

    You guys are not getting my point.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8/9 for creating a PDF that picks up text files and image (Jpg, bmp, tif) files from a network shared folder and inserts them into an empty Template PDF file by making use of Acrobat events through Javascript.
    This all works fine as long I dont include any Tif file and PDF is created successfully.
    Now all other file types including text files, jpgs, gif are opening up but problem is with .tif files.
    You can check this by directly opening image files in Adobe Acrobat Profesional 8/9 from File --> Open menu option.
    Other images will open up but most Tif files won't open in it. Such tif files also not open in "Winodws Picture and Fax Viewer" software but will open in softwares like "Imaging Professional" , "IrfanView" etc, which I think use some special codec for it.
    If you know of any Acrobat plugin that can be incorporated in Acrobat professional and convert these tif files to PDF on the fly, would be of great help or have some any other suggestion you feel is right.
    Thanks

  • Viewing TIF files in Mac OS X v4

    Hello:
    I have been sent some files in TIF format but I cannot find a way to view these files in Mac OS X (10.4). I have confirmed that the files are not corrupted, since I can transfer them to a Windows PC and view them there, but OS X does not appear to have a file viewer that can read them.
    Can anyone advise what program can be used for this purpose?
    Thanks.
