Unable to preview jpg tif files in Win 8 Explorer

Before installing Design Std CS6 (not CC) plus Acrobat XI Pro, I was able to preview jpg and tif files in Windows 8 Explorer in any of the views (XLg, Large, Medium icons) and in the Preview Pane. However, now I only see the program icon, regardless of what application (P'shop or Win Photo Viewer) I associate it with. PDFs display fine in Win Preview.
I know I can preview in Bridge, but how do I get back the ability to preview JPGs and TIFs in Win Explorer as well?

Okay, problem has been solved: the Adobe install changed two Windows Explorer Folder Options (View > Options > Folder Options: View tab) - Always show icons, never thumbnails and Display file icon on thumbnails were checked after the install, but not before (I hooked up cloned HD I had made before the install to check). I can now see thumbnails (instead of program icons) in Win Explorer in the various views (Large icons, Medium icons, etc), as well as in Preview Pane. Hallelujah!!
Can't imagine why anyone would want program icons instead of thumbnails - or why in $&!^% Adobe would cause that change to be made on the install, but everything's back to normal and I'm a happy camper once again.
Thanks again for sticking with this, kglad - I really appreciate it! Hope this helps someone else.  Case closed.           ~Carol

  • Is there a way to save Aperture RAW edits (previews) as .tif files?

    In iPhoto Preferences/Advanced, it is possible to choose to save RAW edits as .tif files. The resulting files are then stored in the Previews folder inside the iPhoto Library. In Aperture, edits of RAW files are stored in the Previews folder as .jpg files. I am aware that I can export the edited versions as .tif files outside of the Aperture Library. Is there a way to do it inside the Aperture Library, just the way iPhoto does??

    Probably collecting everything on an artboard into a new layer might give you the option to use a script to save layers to files.
    But this is a feature request but no as of yet has suggested a way that this might work, at least I do not think so.

  • Elements 12 Organizer unable to preview .mts video files

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1. I have the newest version of Apple QuickTime (7.7.6) installed.
    I import .mts video files from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 for organizing along my still photos. I am absolutely certain that previewing the video files in Elements Organizer used to work fine at least before I upgraded from Elements 11 to 12. Maybe it also has been working in Elements 12, but I cannot tell for sure. Now, instead of a preview, I get the error 'The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed'. If I add one of these files to an Premiere Elements video project, however, the file plays nicely from the Premiere timeline.
    I have tried downgrading my Quick Time versions all the way down to 7.3, with no result.
    Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

  • Unable to Open a .tif file

    I can open .pdf's fine. I'm using 9.0
    OS - Vista Ultimate
    Have admin rights
    just can't open a .tif file, says the file is corrupt, but others can open it with no problem using the same 9.0

    I ran into a similar problem with outlook and Adobe Reader.  When recieving an attachment with a Tiff file the computer tried to open the file in Adobe reader and reader threw up the error message shown in this thread.  I reinstalled outlook and adobe and check to make sure that windows file association was setup correctly.  Finally I browsed to the folder in outlook where attachements are stored.  For more information look here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878
    I browsed to that folder and Tiff files were associated with Adobe reader in that folder.  Once I fixed the association problem the attachments opened up in outlook without issue.

  • Unable to view jpg tif psd files in CS4.

    I am using Windows Vista and am up to date with all the updates.
    CS4 is new - I bought it a month ago but I am unable to try it out as I am unable to open any files in the software.
    I am able to open RAW without a problem.
    All pics I have tried to open are viewable in Lightroom 2; Photoshop 7 and elements - so I know the problem is with CS4 not the pics.
    The pics open but are covered in crosshatched patterns and are not visible - so there is no error message as CS4 reckons it has opened the pic.
    I cannot say whether any of the other features work as I have not been able to work on a single pic yet.
    Please help.  I have logged a support thread and spent some time on the phone to support and have done everything from uploading new RAW converters to updating preference files - and it has not worked.  Help appreciated.

    Hello All
    Thank you to all those that have offered me some suggestions.  The final solution was a setting in CS4 itself EDIT > PREFERENCES and then to uncheck GLView.
    Thanks again everybody.
    regards

  • When I am running Firefox I am unable to open folders and files with Windows Explorer (Windows 7). This is so frustrating and all attempts to fix have been unsuccesful

    There is a clash with Windows 7 and Firefox that prevents one opening files and folders.

    Hi Dollie,
    I am wondering whether you want to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library once.
    If yes, you can try to use Drag and drop feature in SharePoint 2013 to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library.
    More information about Drag and drop feature, you can refer to:

  • Problems viewing large tif files in preview

    i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
    thanks for any suggestions.
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
    i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

  • How to preview tif files with eyes turned off?

    Hello,
    When working with tif files, I usually put all layers in a folder, and turned off the "eye" on the layer panel. So the size of the tif file would reduce to half.
    But there's no way to preview the tif file with its eyes turned off in Mac.
    Is there a mac plug-in that let you do that?
    Thanks.

    If Preview ignores embedded thumbnails and displays the full image, then this is really outside Adobe's control....
    If I understand the OP’s statement
    When working with tif files, I usually put all layers in a folder, and turned off the "eye" on the layer panel.
    correctly the thumbnail would be »empty« because everything is hidden in Photoshop so the empty/white preview would be correct.

  • Adobe Reader not recognizing tif files

    Why doesn't Adobe Reader recognize tif files?  I created a pdf portfolio using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  I scanned a black and white document with my Canon flatbed and saved it as a tif file.  I am unable to import the tif file into the pdf portfolio and I keep getting a pop-up that adobe reader does not recognize that type of file.  Anyone else have this problem and find the solution?

    Reader should be fine. you don't need to full version to open password protected documents and a Mac doesn't make any difference either.
    Fist thing to be sure of is that it's actually Reader opening the docs and not Mac Preview (or something else).
    If it is, maybe try having them assign a different password. A more simplistic one just to see if you can open it.

  • 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.

  • "Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG.  Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

    I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
    A new issue has surfaced.  When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile.  So far, so good.  But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll.  This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
    Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud.  The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
    That makes sense.  I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

  • 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.

  • Multi-page .tif file attaches as  .jpg (1 page)

    I've just changed from Entourage to Mail. I have multipage .tif files downloaded from Companies House. When I try to mail them as attachments Mail changes them to .jpg files which only have the first page of course. I can see that on the open email so it is not a Mac to Windows recipient problem.
    When I resave as .pdf there is problem but that's unsatisfactory. Other files eg Word and Excel seem fine.
    The solutions I've seen here seem to be the for the reverse problem.

    Save aas tif file.

  • Preview only shows first page of TIF files

    Hello,
    I am having problems with Preview version 3.0.9 (409). When opening a multi-page TIF file, only the first page is displayed. The "page down" button does allow to jump to the following pages. (I am able to view the whole document with other programs). Is this a bug in the program or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks!

    HI Fidelio,
    I'm not sure if this is a corrupted Preview preference file or not but it can't hurt a thing to try.
    Locate this file: com.apple.preview.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you.
