Nikon D200 and Photoshop CS2 / Bridge

Hi Dave,

My ACR file is in the right place, but it's the preview in Bridge that
I'm having trouble with.

I guess it's time for a re-install.

Thanks.

George,

WHere is your Camera Raw.8BI file. I'm assuming you are using Windows and if
so, it should be located here, C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats

If your only copy is under the the program directory for Photoshop, Bridge will
no see it. I had this problem when I re-installed it on my system after a hard
drive replacement. I don't know why it installed incorrectly, but once i
straightened it our it was fine.

Hope this is it.

Hi Guy,

I had already purged the old cache and re-built the cache for my
pictures folders. It's still the same.

I'm using Bridge Version 1.0.3.107 (99784)

Is anyone else using this version and getting a full size preview?

Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Hunt,

Yes, I have moved the thumbnail slider. When I do the thumbnail and
the preview image stay exactly the same size as they show in my screen
shot.

This problem only occurs with D200 NEF files. It does not apply to
D200 jpegs or D70 NEFs or any other file I have on my system.

Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Gavin,

I didn't get your attachment, I have a size restriction set on the
email I use for news groups, but I imagine it shows a bridge window
with a full size preview.

As for the bit about .8bi files, I only have one copy of the ACR
filter on my machine, and I have removed the NEF filter that comes
with Nikon Capture.

Thanks for trying to help.

D200 images are showing fine for me in Bridge with ACR 3.3 installed.

Maybe try rebuilding the cache now that you have the new ACR?

George,

Have you tried moving the thumbnail size slider (lower right, at the bottom of
the Bridge GUI)? On your screen capture, it is set to about 1/3. Does moving
it to the right not increase the thumbnail size?

I can only speak for ACR 3.2/Bridge and Nikon 70, but I can fill the thumb
window, however large I make it, with that slider.

Hi George,

Attached (by private email) to confirm you should be able to get the
auto-resizing preview is a screenshot of Bridge with the same layout
options per yours below.

I haven't managed to find any Bridge option which only gives a thumbnail
size preview.

My best guess is that there's a missing/misplaced/over-ridden .8bi
filter file, which is resulting in Bridge not using the best one.

Under the plug-ins folder for Bridge, I don't have any NEF or ACR
filter. Under the CS2\plug-ins\file formats\ folder I have the
Camera Raw.8bi filter, and no NEF filter.

That's me out of ideas.

Best regards,

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

Yes I now have the latest version of the ACR plugin. I don't actually
have a problem with the ACR plugin, it's when I preview the D200 NEF
files in bridge before I open them. In Bridge I only get a very small
thumbnail.

Once I get the files into ACR I'm OK. The question I was asking is,
should I be able to see full preview sized images from the D200 NEF
files. I do with D200 jpegs and all files from my D70.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

The new version does. V3.3. There was a beta release available that
did not.

Hope this helps.

George,

Have you downloaded Camera Raw 3.3, which supports the D200, and removed
'Nikon NEF Plugin LE.8bi' from the following folder:
...\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only\File Formats

That will give you the full size thumbnails and use the full Camera Raw
Converter application rather than the basic NEF importer. It works really
well. The chromatic aberration tool has much finer adjustment than the one
incorporated into CS2, for example.

Here's a snippit from the Camera Raw 3.3 readme:

Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Creative Suite 2:
Windows ?? :
1. Exit Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats.
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for
example, a new folder on your
desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into
the same folder as
Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Bridge.

Dumb question: Is the D200 supported by ACR yet?
