peter_houtmeyers Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi. I recently purchased photoshop CS2. This version allows you to open raw-files without converting them into another file first. I use a Canon 30D, and i have allready installed the latest version of Camera Raw 3.4 plugin. I can open raw files directly in photoshop cs2, but i can not see a thumbnail when browsing my photo's. I can only see a raw cr2-icon. I do not photograph in jpeg+raw so i have no preview of the file i am opening.I have a few thousand photo's in different files and a thumbnail is a much easyer way of browsing to the correct photo.I tried adobe bridge, but no thumbnails are visible other than jpeg. Is there an extra plugin or setting to get raw-thumbnails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 You need to install ACR exactly as specified by Adobe in their download section in order for Bridge and CS2 components to use it. Basically, it goes into the common directory of Program Files. I leave it up to you to get the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emwalker Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Also handy (assuming you're a PC user) is the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D48E808E-B10D-4CE4-A141-5866FD4A3286&displaylang=en"> windows raw thumbnailer and viewer</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_bingham Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 You have the Camera Raw.8bi file installed in the wrong folder. Get rid of the old one and replace it with the new one and put it in the \program files\Common Files\adobe\plug-ins\CS2\file formats - folder - as specified in the readme file that came with the file.

wrfuerst Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 And sometimes it might proove useful to purge the thumbnailcache of bridge ... look at bridge - tools - cache :-) all the best, wolfgang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_houtmeyers Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Thanks all for the usefull info. I finally fixed it. I originally installed the plugin at program files----adobe---adobe ps cs2---plugins-----file formats. I took the wrong road aparently , now i followed program files----common files---adobe----plugins---cs2---file formats. The suggested raw viewer and thumbnailer from windows does not support eos 30D raw yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_taylor12 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Firstly, install the latest plug-in for CS2 (ver 3.6)see previous messages on where to put them. If that doesn't give you pictures instead of icons try purging the cache in the Bridge. Open the Bridge, goto tools - cache - purge central cache then click OK. Thumbnail pictures will replace the icons. Cheers for now, all you Canon EOS 5D users! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
