Please tell us where you are looking:

  • Mac Finder / Win File Explorer
  • File > Open dialog
  • PS Welcome Screen
  • Adobe Bridge

I don't fully understand the issue but here's a couple of things that may help…

 

Within the File Handling tab of the Photoshop Preferences is a section called File Saving Options. This contains options which deal with both Image Previews and Thumbnails.

 

Within the General tab of the Photoshop Preferences is the option Auto show the Home Screen. When this is active and no documents are open, a series of options are shown that includes thumbnails for recently opened files.

Thanks Jill. Happy to help.

 

I can't tell if you were intending to include an image with your previous post. If so, I can't see one.

Do you mean thumbnails in things like windows file explorer, thumbnails? Thumbnails in Bridge, in Lightroom in open dialog? What PSD previews are your referring to? What should be generating the missing previews?

Hi James,

As you're not able to see the preview of the PSD files, would you mind telling us the version of Photoshop and the operating system you're working with?

Could you please check this conversation and let us know if it helps? https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/no-preview-while-opening-psd-file/td-p/9674664

Regards,
Sahil
