Nikon D200 and Photoshop CS2 / Bridge
Hi there,
I notice when using bridge to preview NEF RAW files, I only get a small thumbnail in the preview window. This makes it harder to decide which shots are worth opening for further processing. Has anyone else found the same thing. I also noticed when using one of the Jpeg settings on the D200, that the shutter speed is not included in the metadata when you look at the file info. It's recorded in the camera, but does not seem to get as far as the open file. In fact, it seems that you cant see any of the file info until after you open the file, but even then the shutter speed is missing from jpeg images. Anyone have any ideas, or am I missing something simple. Thanks for any help. Bye for now, George Dingwall Invergordon, Scotland http://freespace.virgin.net/george.gdingwall/index.html |

Dumb question: Is the D200 supported by ACR yet?

Bye for now, George Dingwall Invergordon, Scotland http://freespace.virgin.net/george.gdingwall/index.html 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. -- Gavin http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/gshaw/ |

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.

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.

[SNIP] 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. Hunt 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.
