Why do tumbnails of RAW images no longer display?

Just got a new camera (Sony a77) and when I took test shots and downloaded them to my computer, the tumbnails do not appear in CS3 Bridge? Only as the stock RAW image. My system is Mac OS X 10.5.8. I also downloaded the included Sony CD Image Data Converter. The thumbnail display was the same before and after I downloaded the IDC and when I right click on the tumbnail it is no longer an option for me to 'Open with Camera RAW'. I want it back-I need help!! and quickly!

The free Adobe DNG Converter is a stand-alone application that you need to install, then launch and run it just like you would any other application (like Photoshop itself) on each batch of Sony raw files you need to convert. It will then generate DNG raw files (DN = digital negative) as copies, leaving your Sony raw files untouched. You can then open them in your current Photoshop and ACR combination.
DNG files have been supported ever since Photoshop CS (that's Photoshop 8 a.k.a. Photoshop CS1) and ACR 2.4.
Remember:
Download the free, Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 (NOT higher, or it won't run in your Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8).
On the other hand, if your client demands raw files, then why not give the client your Sony raw files? Maybe you and/or your client are under a misconception as to the nature of raw files.
If this is a one-time situation, you could download a free, current, 30-day trial copy of Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop CC just for this one job. But if the client wants unedited, true RAW files, I don't see the point.
Incidentally, the files are generated by the application you're using at any one time to view or browse the raw files, they are not embedded in the raw files themselves.

CR2 / RAW images no longer displayed

For some reason, I can no longer view CR2 / RAW images (from a Canon EOS 350D). I've never had any issues with them before. Any ideas what can have caused this?

Go into "System Preferences" -> "Software Update" -> "Installed Software" and verify that "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update" ver 2.7 is installed.
Also... it will only read .CR2 files in true full 'RAW' format.... not 'mRAW' or 'sRAW'. This is not a bug... 'mRAW' and 'sRAW' are not intended to be supported as they aren't really RAW formats at all.

Raw images do not display correctly in Yosemite

Since installing Yosemite onto My MacBookPro I find some of the images in my RAW library no longer display correctly in Bridge and Photoshop. I am running Bridge 5.0.2.4 and Photoshop 13.0.6 x 64. These same images display correctly in other image viewing software e.g. Digital Photo Professional, Image Browser and Yosemite Finder.

Why doesn't a RAW image placed in a Photoshop Document pick up changes?

I have just noticed that if you place a RAW image in a PSD(CS6), then tweak the RAW image using Camera RAW, the changes are not picked up by the PSD.
I always try and keep my PSDs as open to change as possible and placing is a big part of this. Usually I place an image in a PSD, then if I edit the image outside the PSD, the changes are picked up in the PSD.
With RAW this doesn't seem to happen. I have the following file-structure:
     -- someFolder
        -- somePSD
        -- someRAWFile
        -- someRAWFIleXMP
What I'm doing:
1. I drag the RAW File into the PSD.
2. I open the RAW File and tweak it.
3. Photoshop does not reflect the changes
4. I drag the RAWFile into the PSD
5. I then have the same placed RAW File with the changes reflected as well as the old placed RAWFile without them.
So even though both placed images are the same image, they reflect the RAW File at the time it was placed, not at its current state which is surely the whole point of placing a file. It seems that the image is encoded with the RAW settings at the time it is imported, but these are never updated.
What am I missing? Is this a bug or is there no point placing a RAW file?

If you need a "non-destructive" alternative, you can import the raw as a Smart Object. You can set this in Camera Raw's Workflow Options, or you can do this 'on the fly' by holding down Shift when you click on Open.
If you want to change a develop setting after adding the image to a PSD, double-click on the layer thumbnail to reopen the ACR session, and the OK or Cancel when you're finished.
Thanks Yammer,
this is very good to know.

Why won't my Raw images open or download properly?

I have a Canon Rebel. I am using Mac OS X Lion. When I download my Raw images onto my computer, they are just black squares where the pictures should be. I have tried in Lightroom 3, Lightroom 4, and iPhoto. All the same thing....

I used an USB cable that connects to my camera to upload the photos straight into Lightroom. I also tried using this to upload straight to iPhoto. I have the newest version of iPhoto, but maybe it still doesn't work? But Lightroom definitely should...
I don't have a card reader but I guess if that's the only solution I would definitely get one... I was just hoping someone had a different solution. Thanks!

RAW images are not displayed

I noticed today that one of my albums containing old RAW images (3 years old) are not shown in the preview. The images have been modified in an older version of iPhoto, but the change is gone. I can still open through Photoshop or iPhoto but do not see the edited version anymore ... Does anyone have a clue why?

Canon PS 9, 10 Canon EOS 300D, 40D ... all my previous cameras, but not all images. As said, there seems to be no rule. Some pictures in the middle of a "roll". But sometimes several events in succession. All images can be opened in Preview. All images can be displayed in the Finder and iPhoto QuickView. If I want to show the images in the preview, are shows the unedited version. If I want to edit the pictures back into iPhoto, then the old edits will become visible again (for some pictures) but they can not be saved.
I have about 35,000 photos in the library, spread over about 1600 events.

Images no longer display properly in Firefox

I use ancestry.com where they have a lot of images of documents - not PDFs - and this morning they no longer display, but instead seem to show underlying html or other code. I noticed in the google home page, the icon for the google apps no longer appears - really odd things are happening. Most web sites are fine. Have screened three ways for malware, downloaded and installed latest Firefox browser - no change.
I have a screen image that shows the issue, but can't figure out how to post it here.

Image no longer displays, appears black

I'm running CC on iMac with Mavericks. I'm editting images building up adjustment layers and I get to 5 or 6 layers and the the image no longer appears - the edit window just shows a black rectangle, the same size as the image. The image is still in memory - if I export, save i can view the image. Adjustments still work - I've tested changing canvas size. I can run pluggins like Nik and the image appears in Nik but all black when it's returned to Photoshop. My only work around is to save image, quit and restart PS. This is seriously slowing down my work flow. This never happened when I was using CS6. I'm working on a high spec imac so shouldn't be a performace / resource issue. I'm only running PS and Lightroom.

RAW images no longer recognized after upgrade

Greetings,
I have a mid-2010 iMac which I have been using iPhoto along with my Nikon D70 without issues for some time. I jsut recently upgraded to Lion and I went to download the pictures on my camera and now it does not recognize the RAW (.NEF) images. I get an error when downloading and nothing ends up in iPhoto. Even when looking at the images that are still on the camera when running iPhoto, they do not display, only gray boxes.
My IPhoto is update to date. iPhoto 11 (9.2.2)
Verified Disk permissions
Lion completely up to date.
D70 which has worked on this platform since 10.5 and all iPhotos in between with no issues.
Any ideas? Anyone think this is a Lion issue or an iPhoto issue?
I usually USB transfer from camera to mac. (D70 has a CF card)
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Terence,
That was a great idea! I didn't realize there was another application that I could use to download these pictures.
Image Capture was able to see the .NEF images and download all of them off the card. It did notice that there were two images that it thought corrupted.
Once I reformatted the cards and took some pictures iPhoto was able to see the .NEF images and download them from the camera with no issues.
Thanks again!

Background image no longer displays

I have been editing the same site for years. Today when I
opened Contribute and selected a page to edit, the background image
did not appear in the draft. The background was gray instead. I
tried changing the background to a color as an experiment and it
won't change. Its stuck on this gray color. I am afraid to edit the
page and upload the changes.
The web site appears normally in safari. I tried editing
other pages on the site and the same thing happens on those pages
too.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The background displays fine in Contribute CS3, so I assume
you have CS4.
I guess it has something to do with the way Contribute
handles the setting of the background.
Your doctype declaration is <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">.
In that version of html it's not allowed to have a background
attribute in a td tag.
Most of the times browsers do not punish you for these
mistakes, but since standards ar marching on, maybe they will be
less forgiving in future. Apparently Contribute CS4 does punish
this mistake.
You should solve this by using css to style your html
documents. Or just ignore this as long as you can edit the site and
it displays OK in the browsers.

Imessage images no longer display after update

After updating my mac to OS Yosemite, the images in imessages no longer show on the mac, but still appear in the iPhone. Instead of displaying a picture, instead it shows e.g. "IMG_1528"
I tried the PRAM reset with no avail.
The messaging and sending pictures from the mac works perfectly, but if I sent an image from my phone or receiving messages, it appears as an unreadable image displaying text IMG_1528.JPG
I would really like to be able to view incoming images on my mac.
Thank you for your help,
Kyle

Podcast image no longer displaying in iTunes

My podcast has been in iTunes for around two years, but just within the past week iTunes is not displaying the graphic. The graphic is still there, and the references in the rss.xml have not changed. Here's a link to the xml file:
http://www.thesecularbuddhist.com/rss.xml
The graphic reference in that files is:
<itunes:image href="http://www.thesecularbuddhist.com/images/iTunes_Art.gif" />
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I had the same thing happen to me about two weeks ago, poof my image just dissappeared.
I went ahead and emailed the support team about the issue and this was their response:
"Please forward a copy of the image you would like to update your podcast with as well as the iTunes Store URL of your podcast.
To get the iTunes Store URL, right click or option click on the title in iTunes Store.
Please ensure that the image is:
600 x 600 in dimension
PNG of JPEG format
Using RGB colorspace"
I agree with the user above probably a glitch with the Store.

Sender's image no longer displays in received email

I have become fond of seeing the images of people that I have loaded pictures of into my Address Book but, recently (not sure when it started), some sender's images are displayed and some are not. Even messages that I cc to myself have my own picture displayed in some messages and not in others. It seems quite random, actually. I see the same behavior in Leopard and Snow Leopard (with the OS 10.6.4 update installed).
I have tried rebuilding the mailboxes, repairing permissions, re-importing my Address Book database, but nothing has worked. I have seen some threads reporting similar behavior on the iPhone.
Any suggestions or insights?
Thanks,
Robin

Some RAW images don't display

i have a folder with about 300 RAW photos from my new Canon 50D. In bridge some of them show up but many, seemingly randomly selected show as the generic CR2 icon. I've got the beta of Adobe RAW and i can open the files in photoshop. Any suggestions? Thanks

Update to the final version of ACR 4.6, released today.
Ramón G Castañeda, "Camera Raw 4.6 and DNG Converter Available" #1, 10 Oct 2008 1:02 pm
Then Purge the Cache for each darn folder, one by one, through the Tools menu in Bridge: Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.
Don't use the global purge cache command in Bridge preferences. It's broken.
