Question

Preview Panel does not show scaled images

Adobe Bridge 9.1.0.338

Mac OS 10.14.5 (iMac Pro)

In previous versions of Bridge, I could preview any file type in the Preview Panel... and these would fill the screen space available on screen within the preview panel. This gave me large previews, which looked great!

Now (with the latest version of Bridge, which I'm running on an iMac Pro), all Bridge shows me are smaller / fixed size preview thumbnails (where I cannot see any level of detail).

Does anyone know how to make the preview panel show my content at a larger scale?

Or is there a way to change this (scale the preview panel output)?

Thanks!

Go into your preferences>Advanced and check the box for "Generate Monitor-Sized Previews"

Then go into the tab for Cache, and check the box for "Keep 100% Previews in Cache.

Then under Cache Management, Click on "Purge All Local Cache Files.

Now Bridge will regenerate all of your cache files and do the previews at 100% size and they will work like you are looking for.

This does not change the problem described by the post above. Can you explain why some photos do generate monitor size previews regardless of these settings? Original to small ppi or physical size? How to fix? I need to do a demo for a class.

So is the issue solved?  I'm having a similar problem.  Which keeps me from using Adobe Bridge.  I ended up using the finder to preview images.
