file preview thumbnails show all layers

[Catworker]

psd 21.1.2 • imac pro, 10.14.6

since the latest update the finder shows psd thumbnail icons with all the layers instead of reduced view.

bug?

Can you post screenshot with problem visible, please?

[Catworker]

wrong screenshot

sorry, wrong screenshot. 

this is correct:

What is your expectation to see? What you mean by reduced view? This is thumbnail crreated using snapshot or flat version of all visible layers in your document.

[Catworker]

well, it should look like flat version in psd, no?

the thumb is NOT a flat version of all visible layers in your document.

(the visible layers are two layers: 1 = color background, 2 = layer "test" and not all layers.)

the thumbs show all the layers, not the flat version or simply an empty preview. this is a bit irritating.

BUT: that happens only with some files. the most file previews are ok.

Having the same problem. Used to be, I could save the document with some layers off, and the thumbnail image would be just like what I would see when working. Now, it's like the one on the right; as if ALL layers were set to visible, including ref images and sketches, even though visibility is turned off.

I just stumbled upon this mystery myself.

Go to PSD Preferences/File Handling/ and enable 'Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility'.
This increases the file size, but saves a correct preview of your composition.

I was able to fix this in Adobe Acrobat by deselecting "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View" in edit > preferences > documents >
