Question

Bridge not displaying pattern/fill layers from layered files

I have some layered tiff files where the model has been masked out and placed on a fake background which is a pattern-fill layer in Photoshop.

 

Bridge is not displaying the background layer and is instead displaying white, the thumbnail starts off displaying correctly but once the preview loads, it is blank.

 

I have attached a section of the file as is shows in Bridge and then as it shows in Photoshop.

    I see that there has been another update for bridge and yet this issue is still happening, do you have a timeline for when this might be fixed?

    I have had the same issue for around a year. I rolled back to the 2022 version of bridge to resolve. Have just installed the new version and found the issue still exists for me to.

      Not sure if it applies to you, but when I get thumbnails previews issues, it's 100% of the time because I need to purge my previews (you can access it in the preferences )

      Alternatively, check if everything is OK in the thumbnail section of the preferences

       

      particularly the first tick (and also depending on the size of the images it can take a while to fully display)

       

      you can check and refresh simply by hitting F5 if that helps too.

      Hey, thanks for the reply.

       

      I have tried clearing the cache and previews, all that happens is that the thumbnails appear correctly for a split second and then as they load the background layer disapears and is displayed as a blank white. It only occurs if the background layer is a fill layer, if it is rasterized in PS then the layer displays correctly...

      I just tried a quick experiment and it seems to only affect the appearance when the background layer is a 'Pattern' fill layer, if it is a 'Solid color' fill layer then it displays correctly in Bridge.
