Photoshop :: Useless Layer Thumbnails In CS4
Feb 28, 2009
In previous versions of Photoshop it was possible to recognize adjustment layers by their thumbnails, in CS4 that has been removed except for gradients, patterns and solid color.
I find that a wrong move. Thumbnails are handy, they allow you to quickly see where you've used your different adj. layers (useful if you've a big fan of non-destructive editign like me). The only thing that is left is the names, but
a) names don't view as fast as icons
b) it basically limits you of using names, because once you do, you have no clue what the layer is unless you click on it
why remove the different icons and turn it one and the same?

I was watching a J. Kost flash turorial and she selected the option to change the size of layer thumbnails and the options showed samples next to the size selection circles. When I went to change the size of my layer thumbnails all I saw were selection circles and no size sample pictures next to them. Is that a PC vs Mac thing or is something missing from my version of CS4? I believe I saw thumbnail sample sizes in CS3.

I've been messing around in PSCS2 off,
and I noticed that the thumbnail images on the layer palette aren't rendering when I make a change to the layer.
They're just a bunch of black dots on a white background.

about the appearance of adjustment layer thumbnails or icons. At times when I create an adjustment layer the thumbnail comes in as I expect ie a levels adjustment layer shows the scale icon. But at other times the layer will show a circle that is half black and half white like the add adjustment layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette.
I can?t figure out why this happens or what triggers it to change. It has no impact on the functioning of the layers it is just annoying and I like to see the correct thumbnails so I can tell what kind of layer it is at a glance.

I run two different PC's w/ PS 7.
On one, in the Layers palette, next to the "eye" that turns layers on and off, a thumbnail image shows for each layer making it very easy to identify the layer you are working on.
On my other PC, the thumbnail is not there.
What setting must I change? How do I turn that thumbnail on?

I find it difficult to 'see' the small layer thumbnails, they can be made larger or magnified when I run the mouse over.

I normally work with a Macbook connected to a 23" Cine display. Pulled the Macbook off the display, opened Photoshop, and the bottom of all the action panels (actions, layers, channels, etc...) are below the lower edge of the screen and there appears to be no way to recover them.
The program is essentially useless until I can get connected to a big display, simply to click on the bottom of these panels.What's the secret to resizing these?

Why would psd thumbnails all of a sudden start not showing up as thumbnails, just as psd icons?

Usually when I run a script. I am automating a process. When doing this, I want to perform other tasks on my computer. Problem beeing. When Autocad is running a script. It opens a file, runs some commands. Then when completed. It opens another file. It seems when it opens each file, it takes control of the cursor for 1 second. The cursor blips for a second.
i.e.
I run a script in ACAd. Minimize ACAd. Open a Word document. And start typing. When ACAD opens a new file. The cursor is pulled away from Word. So I have to click on Word with the mouse again. Then start typeing. Basically you can type a few charachters, before the cursor is pulled away from word or any other applications. And results in my computer work station useless for multitasking until the script is done. Makes Multitasking non existent. My current project I will be running many scripts, and printing many ACAd documents. Therfore I would like to run these tasks in the back ground, while performing other tasks in a new session of ACAD or other applications.

I am using the Sheet Set manager to just publish my drawings to the named plotter (Adobe PDF). I an NOT using any fields. I do not have any sheet numbers assigned in the sheet set. Each drawing is a separate file with only one layout tab in each file. On each drawing, the sheet title and drawing number are within an attributed block, with the drawing number in an attribute with a tag of SHEETNO. Everything is in RomanS. Single sheets plot fine. This is the only sheet set.
The problem is that the sheet number are altered when I use Sheet Set Publish to make a multi-sheet PDF. The manually inserted plain-text sheet numbers are all in the format X#.# (A1.1, A2.3, etc.). Two things happen:
1. The number after the period is printed in a different font on all sheets (NOT RomanS - the ends of the stroke are square) .
2. Over half the numbers are changed (the first sheet, the cover, is blank and not changed):
T1.1 -> T1.- (the dash character)
A1.1 -> A1.1 (OK number)
A2.1 -> A2.1 (OK number)
A2.2 -> A2. 1 (note the extra space)
A2.3 -> A2.2
A3.1 -> A3.3
A4.1 -> A4.1 (OK number)
A4.3 -> A4. 2 (note the extra space)
A8.1 -> A8.3
A9.1 -> A9.1 (OK number)
AutoCAD 2009 on Window 7. No other similar problems.
As it is, Sheet Set Publish is useless. (I know, get an updated version of AutoCAD - it's in the works).

I tried to use the lens flare filter in Photoshop CS6.While the lighting effect is interesting, it introduces ugly artifacts like blue or orange blobs (which are supposed to be the reflection of the diaphragm, but do not look anywhere close to that, but instead are just cheesy looking blobs of color).
In the "movie prime" setting blue lines are added which have nothing to do with lens flar.On top of it, the preview is about the size of a stamp. Any way to use the filter without getting these artifacts, or is it - what I assume - just a useless toy filter, that has probably been dragged on for years and years because it's always been there? What do you use to create a lens flare effect? Are you just building it from scratch with brush work?

This seems to be happening to large files in general, but happens more often when saving down from CS6 to CS3 (for preflighting). The files will save, then throw this error when re-opening. The preview of the file in the Finder will disappear and the file becomes useless. We are on Macs running 10.6.8 and Illustrator CS6 (fully patched).

I like my folder view set to DETAILS (NOT thumbnails). I've been able to do this everywhere EXCEPT PhotoShop, where each one opens as thumbnails. If I change it to details, it still opens the next time as thumbnails. Any suggestions?

I have been installing PS7 to get PSD thumbnails to show their image (rather than a generic icon) in Windows. I understand this facility was dropped in CS. Does anyone know if this has been restored in CS4 or will I have to continue to install PS7 before CS4?

Is there any way to get the same looking thumbnails for shapes in CS6 ?
With previous versions I could get the position of the shape just by looking at the thumbnail in the layers palette but now they are only generic icons, I have tried to resize them and set panel options ( Thumbnails contents) but without any luck. It's really a problem if they are many shapes in the document.

I've been trying to post this so if it gets posted twice Just installed my new CS6 PS6 and where the thumbnail view is? I have to use Bridge to see the thumbnails which adds an extra step. I know the thumbnail view is probably still there, because they wouldn't delete something like that, I just can't find it.

When trying to open a file in PS6 (13.0.1 32 & 64) I can't see NEF thumbnails (Nikon D800). Files will open but I need to see thumbnails to be able to select the image easily. ACR v 7.3.0.71 is installed and I have checked that this is the latest version. I am able to see NEF thumbnail images in Lightroom 4.

Using CS6, infrequently and inconsistently, the thumbnails are not accurate, appearing over exposed. This mostly occurs with jpgs, made from tifs/ psds, but on rare occasion has occurred in tif/ psd too. This is not a constant issue, and I cannot fathom a pattern. I can process several images at same time and only one might be affected. I have emptied my bridge cache, so that doesn't seem to contribute.

from several directories in cs3 bridge. the files are still there, and can be opened randomly, by simply clicking on the blank bridge screen. This is only a recent problem with three of the many directories of image files. Preferences are all set the same, and the files show up in explorer. None of the attributes are set to "hidden"?

Is there a way to create thumbnails in PS? When I import my pictures off my memory stick, they are 2832x2128. When I try to scale it down to a thumbnail size, the proportions are thrown off. I seem to remember you could create thumbnails in either PS or ImageReady,

No developments on this I suppose? I thought maybe that with Windows 7 MS might have reached an agreement with Adobe but it seems not as psd icons still show the generic logo. Bridge is irritating with W7 as you can't get into "Libraries" - their contents won't show. I keep hoping that one day we'll get back the thumbnails in Explorer.
