Why are Photoshop 7 Icons/previews incomplete in Tiger sometimes?

Just upgraded to a super whizzy G5 (Mac user of 15 years)....Tiger is behaving OK most of the time. Problem is, Photoshop icons are incomplete in column view - they often only show one layer of a file, not the composite pic. Files are saved in Photoshop 7 in Classic (so many useful legacy plug-ins with no OSX versions!), with save all (Mac & Windows) thumbnails checked in file saving prefs.
The thing is, this only occurs sporadically - sometimes the previews are complete, sometimes they are not...any clues?

I've mentioned this to Apple a couple of times both here in the Lounge via the moderators, and in the public OS X feedback page.
All previews worked just fine under Panther. But they definitely changed something in Tiger with QuickTime or something that effects previews in the Open dialogue box. If you have a bunch of Photoshop .eps files among a few TIFFs for instance, all of the .eps files will display just fine until you display a TIFF. Then the .eps files will only show a small display of the b&w 4 language message about the file being an .eps. Quiting out of the Open box and reopening it is the only way to continue. But the same thing will happen every time you go from an .eps to another format. Doesn't matter if you're in Photoshop looking at raster .eps images, or Freehand or Illustrator viewing vector .eps files in the Open dialogue. Or any other app that can view .eps icons. Going from an .eps to something else, or from another format to .eps always kills the .eps view icons.
Bugs me that this still hasn't been fixed. I'm going to copy this to Feedback again.

  • Why are there lock icons on all of my Bridge Presets?

    Why are there lock icons on all of my Bridge Presets?

    CynthiaRovira,
    As you can see, the original post, almost a year old already, received no replies.  That is undoubtedly due to the total lack of details and the cryptic nature of the message.
    I cannot imagine what this is all about.  What presets?  Where do you see this icon? In the application itself or when looking at the preset folder in your OS navigator (Apple's Finder, Win Explorer)?  What does it look like, a padlock or a circle with a diagonal through it?
    Please provide both a screen shot of the issue and some sensible information.  We don't even know what your platform is Mac or windows.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Why are jpegs opening in preview?

    I have my file type association set to CS5, yet suddenly jpegs are opening from Bridge into preview. Anyone know why?

    For last few years I had them open in preview from finder, but in Photoshop
    from Bridge. Was I just lucky and my luck ran out?
    Like Nini I also can't imagine why you should use Apple Preview. You can
    view them perfectly in Bridge self when making a custom workspace with big
    preview panel. And if you want to alter the jpeg files preview would
    probably the last option to do so, especially having Photoshop on your
    system ????
    But likely you had altered your camera raw preferences in setting jpeg and
    tiff files to always open in PS instead of the default setting only jpeg
    with altered ACR settings.
    When you have set preview as default opening app for jpeg using the info
    panel in the finder and the camera raw setting to always open in PS you
    probably have back what you want, but why using it that way is still unclear
    to me

  • Why are photoshop icons showing up as color bars in AE6 even though the files are not missing?

    I have imported the file numerous times, they actually show up in After Effects. If I render it renders fine, however the icons next to the photoshop files show up as color bars.
    Can anyone hep me figure this out?

    Thanks for replying...  Yes everything works fine but the project panel icons and layer icons appear as color bars.  Weird! I'm using CS6 and I'm on a MAC PRO OS X 10.8.5.  I attached a screen grab

  • Why are some app icons hi-def in the App Store, then pixelated when downloaded? (Even after uninstall/reinstall)? Any way to fix this?

    Just as an example, TSN. The icon always appears as hi-def/Retina display in the app store if you search for it or it asks you to update, then when it updates it goes back to being pixelated. I can see if it is an app-specific issue but there are other apps like Bank of America which do the same thing. I don't think it's because they haven't updated the icon because they have, it appears perfect when viewed in the App Store. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! It may sound minor, but it makes all the difference visually!

    How pixelated could the app look like?  The only reason why the app icon could look pixelated, is if you are using the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation.  They obviously have an upscaled resolution, so the apps could not have been upscaled when downloading... I am not sure about this issue...
    Like you said, it is a minor issue...

  • Mail: why are draft edits in preview pane not saved?

    Hi,
    when viewing drafts in the preview pane, the preview pane accepts edits, which it doesn't when displaying received mails. However once I highlight another draft in my drafts folder, so that the preview pane shows something else, and then return to the supposedly edited draft, the edits are lost.
    Am I just not getting it, or how do you save edits to drafts made in the preview pane. If editing in preview pane is not actually possible, why does it accept edits then?
    Many thanks if someone can shed some light on this :-)
    p.

    D/L Thunderbird but not set it up as active on line program. No new mail settings etc. Most of the old copied file folders were set as "read only" which I understand is the default of backups and causes problems on non rewrite DVD. Not a problem on ex - HD. I do not understand but it seems TB sets up an "APPS DATA" file that it separate from regular data files (but both are in Documents library). One on-line suggestion was to copy old "APPS DATA" into new TB structure ( a replacement) It did not work. Then tried replacing just parts with no better luck.
    I only want to open the old files. No desire to going back to TB as working program. Use Chrome and gmail now.
    Explorer2 film management program can preview the email in the old file but TB sees it as an empty file.

  • Why are my header icons and toolbar buttons grayed out?

    I purchased a used Macbook Pro from ebay.  Appeared to be in good working order when I first started working with it, but I have updated from OS X 10.9.2 to 10.9.5 and downloaded Open Office program, set up my mail and went through the system preferences and personalized it.  Also ran disk utilities.  Then, this AM, when I restarted, the header icons on the right side are grayed out except for the battery %, the date and time and notifications.  Also, in mail and safari, the toolbar buttons are blank (forward, back, print, mail, bookmarks, autofil, history and downloads).  What happened?  I went to the disk utility from the recovery partition (repaired disk and disk permissions).  I also reset parameters.  Don't know what to do next.  Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but I am assuming it is software (OS X) related at this point.  Please help.

  • Why are my desktop icons way magnified??

    My daughter pressed a series of keys and now my desktop icons are WAY magnified?

    If that doesn't work, try right clicking (control + click) on an app icon, then press Show View Options. Then use the slider at the top to adjust the icon size. The standard size is 64x64.

  • Why are my Ae icons different?

    I'm getting these really ugly unofficial icons now for my projects.  I know these icons aren't the right ones, yet they now take place of the original colorful Ae icons I once had.  Is there a way I can get them back to what they were?
    Hopefully this picture can explain it pretty clearly.  I am on Windows 7 64 bit, Adobe Production Premium CS6.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for the quick reply Mylenium, but I tried to reset the .aep file in "Set associations" because I couldn't find any "File associations."  I had to do a search in the start menu and it led me to the window I linked as a picture below.
    There I changed the program to open as .aep just for the heck of it and nothing changed.  In the detailed picture that I first posted, it could be a bit unclear as to what icon the arrow is pointing at in the middle.  It is the purple icon only and not the folder icon itself.  Sorry if that was unclear.
    I was a bit confused following the directions of "Any folder view --> File --> Organize --> File associations or Extras --> Folder Options --> File associations" because once i hit the "Folder Options" I'm not seeing a File Associations option.  Any fix to my icon issue?  It affects my After Effects, Premiere, and Encore icons.
