Question

Photoshop Elements 2018 Icons when saving

When I would save a photo I edited to my desktop on Photoshop Elements 2018 on my Mac Book Pro, it would save it and I could see the specific image as the icon. All of a sudden, it began saving them with the image of a white background with JPEG in blue. I cannot see the actual picture/image anymore which makes it difficult as I am an artist. How can I have it save so I can see the actual painting image?

Can you see the preview of files in the Finder?

Yes,I see the preview of files in the Finder but not on my desktop or List where I need them. I am an artist and work with multiple images at a time.

In windows you won't see the thumbnails unless you choose something larger than small icons.

Windows has thumbs.db- it's gets automatically created, as needed.

MAC equivalent is DS_Store.

What you describe can be attributed to corrupt DS_Store files.

My "give it a try idea": find and delete all your DS_Store files.... they will get recreated as needed.

Hope this gets to you Jeff. I haven't posted here before and it is unfamiliar. I received your email. I am using OS Monterey, Mac Book Pro 2016. Followed your instructions and yes, I did have Show Icon Preview checked! Not sure what to do now.

Try this.

Open Activity Monitor.app

Search for a process called "com.apple.quicklook.ThumbnailsAgent"

Forced quit that process

Relaunch the Finder (right click Finder, click "Relaunch"

Sorry but you lost me. I couldn't access any of these suggestions. Don't know how.

What version of macOS are you using?

After you click on your desktop, go to View>Show View Options and verify Show Icon Preview is checked.
