People with lots of PSD files - this is great
 

Ever been frustrated looking for Photoshop PSD files in Windows Explorer that you can't see a thumbnail of what's actually in the PSD? Up until this morning I would have to go into Photoshop first - not anymore. Here's a simple fix - takes 2 seconds.

Awesome and thanks!!!

great tool

I guess that only works in XP right?

i'm not sure if it works in Vista or not - Mac's probably already show PSD thumbnails i bet.

:1orglaugh:
I thought everybody knew about that. :error

how would they know about it? where did you find out about it?

Happy happy, joy joy!

nice share :)

Nice tool, Mutt. Thanks.

It works in Vista... great find :) Now if you can find one for RAW files we would be all set! :thumbsup

nice tool thanks

Anyone get this working on vista 64bit?

HOLY SHIT thank you

I don't get it - even windows 2000 had a thumbnail view that would show PSD content.

Thanks for that, a handy tool indeed! :thumbsup

Doesnt work on mine. Weird.

never used Windows 2000 - but in XP's Explorer I've never seen a thumbnail view of PSD files. i found this in a new post on a design blog.

Yup, Mac's already show the thumbnails if your browsing using the thumbnail option. Great not only for PDF files but also for large image folders. .NEF files. (Raw) so a really nice quick way to look in those folders. Tip.. If you have a mac, Open the folder you want to view the Thumb in, Then select View>Show View Options from the top bar. Then you can make your Icons bigger or smaller, set the spacing , make it a default for all folders etc.

Course, you can also use the cover flow view....

Fuck, Macs rock.

Nice, works great for me.

nice tip!

Doesn't seem to work with Win7

Thanks Mutt!

ACDSEE does that too.. I love browsing in that proggy

Win XP does that for me now, but some of them are small so I might give it a go. I don't recall adding anything before.

completely awesome, thanks for the link!

Actually... My appoligies... I was thinking of something else. They used to show on my XP machine so thought it was no big deal. Vista machine nope.

I tried it and its not working with vista 64 bit. Any ideas?

Thanks posting btw. :)

Thanks! that is Schweeeeeeeeeeeet!

I'm on VISTA, and it's already showing thumbs of my PSD?

Yup and adobe bridge does it as well, probably for both.

nice tool thanks :)

i use xnViews for that

fucking great!! thanks for sharing!

Very helpful, thx

I use adobe bridge these days... you can see everything

Works great. Its the only thing that I couldnt see.
Wish they had something for jpg and psd for the desk top though instead of the icons..now that would be great!

this really is a helpful tool!

is there one for adobe dng files?

Honestly I never even knew windows explorer did not view them as thumbs. I almost never use windows explorer in the first place. Only time I seem to come close is if a prompt opens it automatically for browsing to upload something or is that something else?
I like some others use Acdsee for all my browsing needs, even if I have no intentions of looking for photos or psd files.

usefull thing, thanks for sharing

I didnt know this was a hidden jewel.

Ive had thumbnailed psds for years now.

ACDSee is the fastest browser for any type of media on Windows. However I migrated to Mac last year so I don't need to use it anymore.

Windows sucks..

people looking for one that works in vista 32/64 bit..
