Hi, sorry for my absense. I do this to help, I am not paid and I do (occasionally) do other things (;>)).
Can you please let me know what your OS is (and what release)?
Also you said you just updated Bridge, can you please add what the release version is?
What version (and release) of Photoshop you have?
and lastly
What release version of ACR are you using?
Oh, one more: what camera are you using and do you leave the images raw or do you ever convert them to DNG?
It's hot, I should be on my computer most of the day.
Hi Gary -
I assumed you were just helping out and not paid - which is why I asked if you knew of somewhere else I could seek help! Thank you for your time! I know a lot of nuance is lost in virtual communication, but I wasn't trying to be snarky!
I did figure out the issue. Under the thumbnail quality options - Browse Quickly By Preferring Embedded Images was selected instead of Always High Quality.
Just in case it matters for someone else who reads: I am running:
Windows 10
Bridge 10.1.1
Photoshop 21.2.2
ACR 12.4
Thanks again!
