Why no thumbnail when exporting psd or jpg?

When I export an image out of Lightroom the subsequent file has only the generic icon and no thumbnail. Is there a way to export with a thumbnail?

Do you have 'Show Icon Preview' turned on in Finder View Options, Cmd-J?

Why no thumbnails when exporting files???

I'm running a mac pro with os10.4.9. Whenever I save or export a file (jpg--psd-- or tiff) in photoshop cs3-- I always get a thumbnail of the image as an icon.
But whenever I export using Lightroom v1.0-- I only get the generic icon for psd-- jpg-- or tiff--
but never a thumbnail-- which makes sorting very difficult-- since you have to open the image to see what it is. Any ideas what's going on.
In PS_CS3 preferences you have the choice for a thumbnail-- but I don't see that option in Lightroom.

I think that's just the way LR v1.0 behaves.
You're probably aware that if you open an OS 10.4.9 finder window in the Column mode (instead of the Icon or List mode), you can click on these generic icon files and see a Preview. That's it, for now, AFAIK.

Lightroom looses EXIF Thumbnail when exporting

I already have deselected "Minimum Metadata", but Lightroom 1.3 as well as Lightroom 2 Beta doesn't embed an exif thumbnail when exporting.
Is there any trick to do that? Other Data like camera model or shutter speed isn't affected, and the original image imported into lightroom had an exif thumb.
Thanks for reading

Exporting PSD to JPG/TIFF generate a distorted black color

Hello,
I use Photoshop CC 2014.1 on OSX Maverick.
When I export a layered PSD to JPG/TIFF I obtain an image with a distorted black color. The image has multiple layers, two of which are the photo I took (with black background) and an added black background.
In Photoshop there is no difference between the 2 background (they have the same black colour), but the result of the exporting is the attached picture.
Could you please help me in solving the problem? How can export the PSD image correctly?
Thanks.
Andrea

Even if I flatten the psd there is the same difference
Then the difference is in the layered psd even if it many not be displayed in the layered state – is it visible at View > 100%?
Could you post a screenshot of the border region taken at View > 100%?
Noise in the photograph may be a factor.
I think you should apply a Layer Mask to the photographic element to make sure the background is uniform (the added black background).

LR 4 on Windows 8 - Cannot create preview thumbnail when exporting?

I thought I had this figured out but it appears to occur somewhat randomly. Since upgrading to Windows 8 when I export files that I have imported from Canon raw .CR2 for some files it gives an error that "the file could not be written" and lists the original source .CR2 file name. It does not do it everytime but once it happens it happens everytime for that file. When exporting 10 JPG files for example only 3 of them may have this issue. The file still exports and creates the JPG file and the only issue with the exported file appears to be that it did not create the preview thumbnail.
I have tried importing the files into new catalogs, writing to different folders etc but it still happens. Any ideas?

Ok, after lots of attempts to recreate I can do it like this:
Export as JPG to hard drive and select 'limit file size' option and give any size smaller than the full 100% quality JPG would normally create. Using any other options to limit file size such as quality < 100 or resize long edge to 1024 completes successfully.
Can someone else confirm this on Windows 8 with LR 4.2, it only takes a single file?

Color Changes when saving psd to jpg

Some of my psd when saved to jpg take on a distinctly bluish cast. Has anyone seen this? What is the cause? How can it be defeated?

When You save a jpg with profile embedded does the appearance still change?
Photoshop uses the Color Settings’ Working Space for displaying files that are not Color Managed, therefore one should embed the profile – unless space considerations (especially for internet-use) speak against it, in which case one should usually convert the image to srgb anyway.

When exporting .psd files to jpg, the picture gets cropped

This happens on occasion. I cannot find any answers on how to fix this issue anywhere. Can someone help?

It doesn't always happen. If it does, closing the .psd and re-opening it will normally fix it temporarily.

IPhoto '08 loses exif data when exporting RAW to JPG

I'm using a Canon 40D shooting only RAW. I just recently noticed that when I export to JPG, iPhoto loses quite a bit of important EXIF data, including, aperture info.
Is this a known issue, or is it something unique to my system?

I guess I misworded it. I understand that the info doesn't go away or come back. Either there's a problem in both Finder and flickr (I've uploaded the file to flickr.com) where neither finds the info in the jpeg or there's a problem in the way iPhoto writes the EXIF data to the file.
Today, I downloaded EXIFViewer for an alternate look at the EXIF fields and the aperture data is there according to EXIFViewer. So, now I think the bug may be with flickr. Can't really call it a bug in Finder, since the expected functionality for finder is not to get "aperture info", but "More info."
In any case, these are the fields in the More Info:
|RAW:Name_|_RAW:Value_|_JPEG:Name_|_JPEG:Value|
|Dimensions|2586x3892|Dimensions|2586x3892|
|Device make|Canon|Device make|Canon|
|Color space|RGB|Color space|RGB|
|Profile name|Adobe RGB (1998)|Profile name|Generic RGB Profile|
|Focal Length|44|Focal Length|44|
|Alpha channel|0|Alpha channel|0|
|Red eye|0|Red eye|0|
|FNumber|4|
|Exposure|1/60|Exposure|1/60|
|Last opened|Monday, May 19, 2008 6:31 PM|Last opened|Today, 9:31am|
And the meta info on flickr is here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carloscervantes/2536040124/meta/
Again, no aperture data in either flickr or Finder.

No Thumbnails When Exported to Desktop

When I export the selected images from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop in original form, they show no thumbnail images. Is this normal?

Hi Robert,
This sometimes happens for me too, usually if the photo was edited in another application. Check the other graphic applications preferences to see if there is a thumbnail preview option.
While in Finder, go to View>show view options. Check "show icon preview"
This will pretty musch give you the image preview icon.
There are many third party programs that can do this for you. One is called Pic2Icon
Pic2Icon
Another one is a contextual menu item called QuickImageCM.
QuickImageCM
check out that page because there are some other useful contextual menu items that I use all the time.

Why no sound when exporting movie?

Pretty new to Quicktime Pro.
When I try to export a .Mov file for email purposes (or any other setting) the sound option is greyed out and the movie exports with no sound?
Quicktime Pro 7.04

How To Identify the file*, video and audio** format of a movie or sound file
In QuickTime Player
Open the file
Window menu > Show movie info
Look in the Format: field
Note that QuickTime Player may fail to display any audio information for some files.
In MPlayer OSX:
Show the playlist window if it isn't already visible.
Drag the movie file into the playlist window.
Select the movie in the list
Click the "i" button for info
In VLC
Open the movie in VLC
Window menu > Info
Click the black triangles so that they point down
Note that VLC does not display the file format, only the format of the content (audio and video) within the file. A file ending in .divx for instance, is probably in actuality an avi file but VLC doesn't show that information - MPlayer will and QuickTime Player will - if - QuickTime Player will open the file to begin with.

'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
ANY IDEAS ANYONE? I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
many thanks,
P

Mylenium,
Sounds like you know a good deal about this product. Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
Thanks,
Paul

Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print ?

Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

Thanks Bob, to date I have simply used the High Quality Print default, which is actually Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - I have never had issues before - until now when I upgraded my software..

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.

Why the color mismatch when exported key to mov?

Keynote colors are rich and bright, but get all dull when exported to a mov.
Anyone know why this happens, or better yet have a solution?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. No, I haven't converted any color images from RGB to CYMK. The original graphic file was made as RGB. The colored box in PM7 is set to the Color Options of:
Type: Spot
Model: RGB
(R 255, G 0, B 0)
As said, in PM7 the two red objects look identical in colour tinting etc on the screen, and you can't tell the difference. But when the doc is converted to PDF the difference is obvious.
After posting to this forum last night (Australian time), I wondered if it had something to do with dot resolution. The graphic file is 300 dpi, whereas the red PM box is filled with color that may be at a much lower DPI, causing a dullness in the color. I assume the PM 7 default for this can't be altered. Maybe there is a setting in Distiller that could handle this, so that the colors are equalised.
The solution I'm currently using is to remove the box (or oblong) containing PM's RGB Red, then make another graphic file which is RGB Red (either at 300 dpi or 200 dpi, either TIFF or JPG, it doesn't matter), of the same page size as the PM doc, then place it onto the page and send it to the back so that everything else sits on top of it. When converted to PDF you now can't tell the difference between the RGB Red in both graphics.
I'm happy with the result, but it's a workaround.
Thanks,
Roger3
