This tool allows browsing corrupted & damaged PSD image files. Enable Thumbnail Previews for PSD Images in Windows File Explorer Posted on January 19, 2015 Author Trisha 4 Comments Windows File Explorer displays the thumbnails for various supported pictures and video formats when you open a folder containing these types of files.
After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to 10, I noticed that .psd
Photoshop files started having thumbnails again, something I've not seen since CS2. Once I tried to open a .psd
, it asked me which app I'd like to use by default, so I chose Photoshop CC 2015. However, the thumbnails then disappeared to be replaced with Photoshop icons.
I'm thinking of trying to remove the default file association for .psd
images, by deleting the registry keys as shown in this answer: https://superuser.com/a/49617/291776
This involves deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.psd
and/or HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.psd
. If I do this, will I be able to set Photoshop as the default program again (with the Photoshop icon showing on .psd
files) in case the thumbnails don't come back?
UPDATE:
The method I tried didn't work anyway. .psd
files still had the Photoshop icon on them.
Yes, you should. The Windows Registry allows you to export keys, which means you can right click what you are about to delete, and click export
, then save a .reg file. This will save your registry settings (the .psd key and all subkeys). Then, if you do not like your changes, you can simply right click the file you created and hit merge
, and you will have your settings back (you will get a UAC prompt). You might need to log off/ restart to make the changes take effect.
Please also note, that you might need to open the file in PS CC 2015 once before he detects the thumbnails correctly
You also need to tell Photoshop in the settings that the files should always be saved together with an preview image
(set this to off if you like small psd documents)
And as ironmanmark20 pinted out correctly: You can export keys by right clicking and exporting as .reg file
When you want to restore the settings just run the .reg file as administrator and all keys and subkeys will be updated to the state they have inside the reg file
I heard that there is the issue with Adobe thumbnails in Windows 8 to 10. You can use SageThumbs until adobe patches this issue.
You may also need to adjust PSD file size in the setting of SageThumbs to make bigger file size PSDs also viewable.
I have finally found a fix that works for me. I found a site that would allow you to download the older version of Adobe XL reader.
All .pdf files now display thumbnails.
Set XL not to update else you will have the same problem again.
I will keep the old copy of Adobe XL until this problem is resolved.
I have found that I can generate thumbnails for PSDs that show up in Explorer (I'm using Windows 10 64-bit) by using the free image utility Irfanview.
I just open Irfanview, go to File > Open, and navigate to a folder containing PSDs. You will see thumbnails appear for each PSD as Irfanview generates them. Once this is finished (which usually only takes a few seconds, depending on the number of PSDs), refresh the folder in Windows Explorer to get the thumbnails to show there as well.
