    @D Venkat5EA3  and @JonathanOwen :

     

    First, do you see the thumbnails in any of the Workspaces in Bridge?

     

    Try this answer from @Norman Sanders in another thread. View > Refresh worked for that user. If it doesn't, then try resetting Preferences for Bridge.

    Hi Jane, unfortunately I see all thumbnails except those from PSDT files. I have tried refreshing and resetting but neither works. According to Lumigraphics (above) there is no support for PSDT thumbnails in Bridge which I find ridiculous considering they are not only created by Adobe but they are also not viewable in windows either, especially when files from Adobe Stock are labelled sequentially rather than informatively. Leaving me with folders with numerous large PSDT files that I have to open one by one to find what I am looking for... I feel like it's 1998 again. Can anyone assist please?

    Ridiculous or not, that's what Bridge supports.

    A PSDT is a PSD file IIRC, just has a different file type so Photoshop knows how to handle it. But the operating system probably doesn't recognize it so you don't get a thumbnail.

    This is all great info, but is there an actual solution? Having licensed files direct from Adobe it would be nice to be able to actually open the files knowing what they are via a thumbnail, I have tried various solutions including Bridge but none work making it impossible to have a smooth workflow, bad enough we have to use 3rd party software to see PSD files in windows... now this!

      No, Bridge does not show a preview of PSDT files.

      Is there any reason you are not using Adobe Bridge?

      Thumbnails in the operating system dialogues, which include File- Open and File - Save  depend on having a suitable codec installed in your operating system. There are several available for Windows if you search.

       

      As an alternative, you could use Adobe Bridge to browse.

        Hello Dave,

        In Adobe Bridge I couldn't view the thumbnail image. i can view the PS icon only. If there is any setting to be done please let me know.

         

        Thanks
