kim-maru Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 <p>Hello,<br>I have recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS4 and am working with 5D Mk II raw files for the first time. I have downloaded the plugin I need to open the Mk II files in CS4 and that seems to be working well. My problem is that CS4 bridge will not allow me to view the raw file thumbnails (they show up simply as blue CR2 icons in place of the image thumbnail). Can anyone tell me whether there is something I need to be doing/downloading that would allow me to see the raw images as thumbnails in bridge? Any information would be greatly appreciated!<br>: ) kim</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kim-maru Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 <p>Hi Juergen,<br> Thank you for responding---I did that originally and no thumbnails appeared in bridge which is what prompted me to post the question however strangely, after a few hours (the length of time between my original post and this one) something changed---now suddenly (despite no further updates on my part) I am able to view the RAW thumbnails in bridge. Odd but nonetheless, good news for me! Thanks again, Juergen. : ) kim</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_hennessy4 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 <p>Was Bridge rendering the raw files in the interval between when they weren't visible and when they were? With many files, a slow computer or large raw files or a combination thereof, it might take quite a while.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim-maru Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 <p>Hi John,<br> Thanks for this suggestion---that could have been it---I didn't think to look into it at the time however, I'm working on desktop MAC which is normally reasonably fast. Thumbnails seem to be appearing quickly and without difficulty now. I'll keep my fingers crossed... : ) kim</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avery1 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 <p>It was probably displaying the cached version of your thumbnail, which was originally the cs2 icon. When you updated the program, it took some time for the cache to refresh and for you to see the thumbnails.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
