So with the CC updates, that I feel like are an extortion scheme, I now find that with my new camera I had no thumbnails for anything.  I updated and was able to see the RAW files but not the videos.  They can be viewed in Nikon's free program and played as well, but in CC Bridge of Photoshop, just a box, can't play nor add data.  As at some point I use a custom program to extract the metadata to add to my database, this is a major problem. Windows media, also free can play the videos but I can't do anything in CC. ... View more

I have an action that saves tifs as jpgs to upload for my web site. In a folder of gyrfalcons, the one I chose stopped and gave a choice to save as PSD. I don't know what is different about this that won't save as jpg.  I looked and it has no extra layers or channels. So I tried saving as jpeg 2000 and it came out as jpf zero bytes and no thumbnail.  Then I tried saving as PSD, and then trying to save that as jpg, and it won't.  I tried some others in the folder and same problem.  I just can't figure what is different about these that I can't save thus. ...

In a video of a shorebird in the water, it was a very dull day, and there is not much contrast.  I applied levels and was adjusting the RGB gamma as I have in hundreds of other videos.  If I move to the right, it is pink, to the left green.  Never had this happen before. I first had shadow/highlights which improved some.  I found that if levels is above s/h, this happens, but if it follows then it doesn't change the color. ... View more

I posted this first in Photoshop as it was related to appdata, but continuing, is more relevant here: I keep getting spinning circles and things take so long.  I wanted to open 2 files in Bridge, while Photoshop was already open and it took 6 minutes, and to just to shadow/highlight and levels, the total time was 14 minutes.  In Bridge, most of the RAW files don't preview the crops and adjustments made in camera raw.  I went to preferences, as saw that the Camera Raw cache is listed as in C://users/myname/appdata.  but when I try to look in file manager directory tree, it shows no appdata folder.  I wanted to delete it and put it on the D:   drive.  I purged what it showed in preferences and took about 10 or more minutes.  I am trying to make more room on my C: drive and wonder about folders such as AA5677B8DE244720A76DD5D0758E8372gs and BD7B9A37BB7E408FB57BF97CA8DB371Cgs .  Are these important.  When I try to see what is taking up so much space on the C: drive, what I see doesn't seem to add up to the amount used. I did gain a bunch of space purging the invisible CR cache though and am reassigning to D:. So that made no difference to Bridge previews.  In the picture, all were cropped and edited in CR.  The first NEF should look like the tiff made from it, sizewise as that is how it is in CR.  Regarding the others, all should be about the same size, but some show the preview and some don't, so show uncropped.  This makes it very hard to compare images and weed unwanted excess. ...

Instead of the box coming up with choice of foreground, background, or content-aware,  when I select and press delete, nothing seems to happen except in the history 'clear' appears. If to work around this, I go to edit and choose 'content aware fil' then I get the weird screen shown and new layers are created. If I close and reopen CC, no difference.  If I try to update and click open on the result, nothing happens.   In the midst of a big project and now progress stopped. ... View more

I wanted to see if Lightroom would give the correct times that videos are shot, like Nikon ViewNX-i does and Bridge does not, as indicated in my Bridge post.  but I couldn't even install, getting an error message, and no solution. ... View more

I am so sick of the extra time and work regarding my organization of files due to this problem that has plagued me for years and no updates or versions has ever corrected.  I have 3 attachments.  In the one of Bridge, note that after the 1st 3 NEFs, the time (shot) for .MOVs jumps 5 hours.  (10:56am to 3:57PM) This is always the case with movies, out of time sync with the images before and after.  When I later change the file names to my own numbering system and add names, I can never see the order taken again by sorting by date. In the Nikon's ViewNX-i attachment, note the correct time for 302_0679 is 10:57am which is correct. I wondered how Lightroom would handle this so I downloaded and tried to install, but got the error message in the 3rd attachment.   ... View more

I had set crop ratio to 4x3. I thought I had used this for years as my main ratio, without changing the size.  But now I just cropped a picture and saw it shrink.  I see it says 4 in x 3 in.  I tried clearing the crop, starting over but it keeps putting in inches.  I may have cropped a couple others where the size was not so drastic and not noticed.  Can't I just crop with a ratio, not dimensions?    Never mind I see I just have to change one of the ratios without inches. Not sure how it changed before. ... View more

In metadata, edit history is checked.  But there is nothing in the metadata panel below DICOM, where I would expect it when viewing a tif.  It isn't anywhere. ... View more
