Is it just me guys? Working on Macbook Pro 2021, M1 Pro. Bridge is 16.0.1.18. I do like the '26 Photoshop and Bridge quite a lot. But then client sent the 16bit images lol. And done. Reset bridge, reset and dump cache is on external SSD drive, the fastest I have - not working.

If you have a way how to make it work - I'm all ear, guys! Thanks

I TAKE IT BACK!! ADOBE I APOLOGIZE - SOLUTION... I had good settings with the previous version, I guess I installed the 26 without 'import settings' or what. It wasn't the 16bit issue but the file size. What an amateur move. Tho truly I was sent psd with 2 layers and 1 out of 6 was visible. After I started to work on it I achieve HUMANGOUS file sizes and it was over... I rechecked the file size limit and bam, we are back home. I am thinking if I should delete the 'complaint' but - I leave it here if somebody feels that they have the same issue and can read the solution. So folks - it COULD be file size limit for previewing images! Check that in Preferences / Thumbnails. I bumped it up to 5GB, done.
