Why no image thumbnail icons in CS6?

I recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6 and when I save a file, in any format, I get no image icon thumbnail for the saved file.   If I save the same file in CS5, I get the thumbnail image icon, but with severe pixelation of the thumbnail image.  It used to be I would have to periodically reboot the finder or fix permissions to resolve the latter issue, but now even that doesn't work.  I'm running Mac OS 10.8.

See this thread about non-displayed icons:

  • Adobe, please bring back the image thumbnail in PS CS6 (open file dialog)

    This is ridiculous! This feature is actually essential! I don't have to open tons of images just to pic one I needed and close the others.
    And no, I couldn't care less about Bridge, mini bridge or other nonsense just to see what I'm opening!
    Thank you.

    Hi, thank you again for all of your suggestions of workarounds. I appretiate it, however, it's not really what I was asking for
    Besides, telling me that Adobe has to comply to some arbitrary Microsoft BS is just ridiculous.
    First off, why the hell is Microsoft to force you, Adobe, to implement a file open dialog the way you like? I call you on this! This is one hell of a bull s**t!
    Here, a few examples just to stir the BS a bit more:
    3ds Max (made by Autodesk, one of the largest software developers there is) also on Windows.
    This is Nuke (made by The Foundry), a high-end compositing application that runs on a variety of OSes, incl. OS X and Windows!
    Oh and by the way, this is Illustrator CS6. Made by Adobe, in case you were wondering:
    So, please, tell me again how you were forced by Microsoft to remove the tiny little preview image in Photoshop CS6, I'd love to hear your story over and over again, it amuses me.

  • Layer Thumbnail Icon

    Hi All,
    I would appreciate if anyone can help me to figure out why my Layer Thumbnail Icon is different from 2 various psd files. Attached are the screen shot. Ist sreen shot layer thumbnail has represented icon to the adjustment whereas the 2nd screen shot doesnt have the icon. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Masters.
    You guys are right. The specific graphical icon is determined by its image size and canvas size. Thanks for all the effort and time spent.

  • Why are so many app icons either pixelated or missing?  No photo thumbnails in Photoshop CS6 and missing icons for newly installed applications.

    Even after a clean install of new applications and permission fixes and disk repairs, this problem persists.  Apple must have changed some specifications for thumbnail icons in Mountain Lion.   This is a particularly frustrating problem with Adobe Photoshop CS6.  If you attempt to save a CS6 file in any format, the thumbnail image icon just disappears or appears dark, with no image visible.  I have spoken with both Adobe and Apple about this and no one seems to want to accept responsibility, but I'm beginning to believe the issue is with Mountain Lion, as I did a clean install of a Mountain Lion friendly and compatible app today and the end result was that there is no icon for the application.  The application will run, but you cannot see an icon for it in the dock, only the name.  This is absurd!  Seems like paid "upgrades" are now becoming downgrades.   At least that's how I feel when I actually lose rather than gain functionality.

    this is happening to me too. if i create a photoshop jpeg file it has no thumbnail icon. the file seems to be there by name only?

  • Why are RAW image thumbnails not being rendered?

    OK. I am not sure that I used the right terminology, but I have noticed that Bridge is no longer rendering (? proper term) the Canon Raw image thumbnails properly in Bridge CS6.
    I shoot RAW and Small JPEGs. I copy the folder of images onto my external hard from my camera and open Bridge. I see thumbnails of both the RAW and JPEGs with a black border around each image. As Bridge reads each image, the black border disappears from each JPEG thumbnail, but not from the RAW thumbnail like it used to do.
    When I click the raw thumbnail once, I get the larger RAW preview image. When I click the larger image and get the loop, the RAW thumbnail then renders and  either the black border disappears from the thumbnail or the corrections made in bridge become visible in the thumbnail.
    When the loop is on the larger preview image, the image in the loop enlarges automatically to 200% and I have to take the time to scale it back to read the image selection at 100%.
    When I do a batch edit of many RAW images in Bridge, I can click done and the small slider in a circle icon appears above the RAW thumbnail, but the thumbnail is not rendered to reflect the correctiuons made to the image.
    This was never an issue before. Bridge was great in reading RAW images at all stages and now it's not.

    Have you selected Prefer Embedded previews from the toolbar, or is it set to High Quality on Demand, or Always High Quality?
    Have you tried selecting the containing folder, right-clicking and clicking "purge cache for selection"?
    It sounds like you are having problems with the cache. Depending on the number of images you have and the speed of your computer, it might be worth purging the entire cache, but this should be a last resort.

  • No thumbnail images in icons with Preview since reinstall of Tiger

    Since a HDD crash and reinstall of Tiger at Apple Store with updates to 10.4.11, Preview.app is now NOT making image thumbnails but only shows an icon with the Preview logo and file type, ie. JPEG, PNG.
    Also in Folders most images, but not all, are not showing up as they used to with miniature images.
    This makes it very hard to tell what the image is merely with a number for the filename.
    I tried deleting the plist but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions how to get real thumbnails back?

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried it several times to no avail and noticed that an older version of Preview which had been archived on an external drive was 13.2 MB on disk while the one which the Apple Store put onto the new hard drive was only 3 MB, even though they are both v3.0.9 (build 409) I've tried both and there doesn't appear to be any difference in functionality.
    Still no thumbnails except on a few .jpgs. They do work from iPhoto if they are normal .jpg pictures if I drag the pic to the desktop from the iPhoto Library, but not panoramas which have been stitched, photos which have been cropped, modified or .gif or .tiff.
    Guess we'll just have to keep looking for the answer to why they won't show up all the time.
    Thanks anyway.
    If anyone else has any ideas about this Preview weirdness, please join in...

  • Error Writing Metadata thumbnail icon, why is this?

    When I take a layered TIFF file from my Lightroom 3 photo library and make creative changes  to the file in Photoshop CS5, when I save the file, close it and return to Lightroom, the image thumbnail in the Library Grid mode displays a warning exclamation point.  Hovering over the icon displays the tooltip Error Writing Metadata.  Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to remedy the situation the right way?
    Clicking the warning (exclamation point) icon present two options:  "Import Settings from Disc" or "Overwrite Settings"
    Thanks in advance
    Doug

    I found a pattern, this happens when I open and edit the file with gedit. Even when I am very carefully just push the del button. Mabe gedit add some inviseble chars when it saves.

  • Icon does not appear in the image thumbnail in Bridge

    After processing a camera raw file using the Camera Raw plug-in, an icon does not appera in the image thumbnail in Bridge. Using raw plug-in created april 19 2007 in windows vista. The same CS2 program does create the icon on another computer using Windoes XP. Jim

    Please check your top toolbar left side, you should see a small arrow icon to expend the toolbar, located near the Tools option
    (Ignore the location side in the sample picture, it should be the opposite for your language )
    If you cannot locate the HP Smart Web Printing there either, Click Tools > Manage Addons
    and make sure the HP Smart Web Printing addon is enabled,

  • Why can't I see image thumbnails of my .psdx files in my Creative Cloud Connection folder?

    I am saving my projects to my Creative Cloud account and use the CC Connection. My .psdx files appear in my CC Connection folder as icons, not as image thumbnails. What am I doing wrong?

    Btw, which OS are you using?
    PSDX files might not be supported by the OS for a preview if that's what you mean about preview.
    E.g. I cannot see the previews of PSD files either on a Windows desktop.

  • Why is my uploaded images thumbnails are desaturated ?

    Can anyone explain to me what am I doing wrong ?

    Please help me understand why it is happening ?

    Looks lime you're uploading in the wrong color space and the website doesn't correctly tag the downscaled thumbnails with the color space. Make sure to select sRGB as the color space in your export.

  • In the videos I've seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon. Mine is missing. Any idea why or how to get it.

    In the videos on the website I have seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon for viewing all your open web pages. Mine is missing.Any idea why or how do I put one on?

    Safari now uses tabs in iOS 5 so that icon is no longer in Safari. You have to tap on the + sign on the right side of the toolbar to create a new tab. You can open a new web site in that tab. You navigate from open page to open page by tapping on the tabs.
    To close a tab - tap on the X in the left side of the tab.

  • 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.,

  • Viewing DNG's in Windows 8.1 file explorer as image thumbnails ... how to do this?

    Does anyone know why you can't view .dng RAW files as image thumbnails in Windows 8.1  file explorer even with the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack installed.
    Other RAW files show up as thumbnails no problem (e.g. Nikon .NEF files). I could view dng's as thumbnails in Windows 7 but not with Windows 8.1. Perhaps Adobe hasn't shared the appropriate info. for Microsoft to make it happen?
    Cheers if you know how to see the dng thumbnails and can help me do the same.
    Michael

    I know the DNG Codec for Windows 7 allowed one to view DNG thumbs in Win 7. Wouldn't it work for Windows 8.1 too?

  • Why are my thumbnails and folders changing???

    For some reason my image thumbnails and folders are misbehaving.
    Thumbnails
    The thumbnail images will just disappear on SOME images in a folder but not all.
    Folders
    The folder sizes will max out in some folders but not in others.
    And, I am not sure this has anything to do with this, but sometimes when I add an image to a folder it will spring open and close very quickly. This does not happen all the time, but it does happen. This could just be a Leopard thing, I am not sure.
    To make the thumbnail images re-appear, I just re-start my computer. However, this does not correct the folder over-sizing. I have to manually do this as I find them. And, to be clear, I have 'Show Icon Preview' selected. I know that in Tiger you could mistakenly change ALL the folders on you HD, but I did not think you could do this with Leopard. If this IS possible, then that could explain the folder changes, but not the image disappearances.
    This all began as I was moving files over to my external HD yesterday. Same this is happening today. So, this is a constant battle that I am not winning by any stretch.
    ANY comments or suggestions will be most welcome.
    Phillip Anthony

    Thanks for the detailed help.
    I am aware of what you so kindly suggested, but I think the cause of my problem lay somewhere else.
    To be clear, I have used the Info palette to change the 'Open with:' function from 'Adobe Photoshop CS4' to say, 'Preview', if I just want to view the image as opposed to modify it, especially if PS were not already launched.
    As I said, this problem just began all of a sudden, then quit. Today, I have not had this issue, so I am not complaining. As I go through my workflow, I continue to find maxed out folder sizes, but these are easily corrected. It was the lack of thumbnails that was the issue.
    Again, I sincerely appreciate the suggestion.

  • Colour washed out when using image processor in Bridge CS6

    Hi there
    I hope somebody can help please?!
    I am editing raw files in Camera Raw 8.2, then using image processor through Bridge CS6 to save them as both jpegs and tiffs.
    I am finding the colour on the saved files is coming out a little washed out and faded.
    If I open them individually and save them in PS6 as jpeg and tiffs, the colour remains vibrant and true to the original raw file.
    I have thousands of these files to go through and don't have time to open each one individually in this way so I am desperate to automate this process while still retaining the great colour in the original shots.
    Can anyone tell me why the shots are coming out this way and help offer a solution for me please?
    Any advice would be massively appreciated!
    Many thanks
