Out Of Focus Previews In Bridge

[sla453]

Hi Damien,

Today, all my images in Bridge look out of focus for some reason.  I'm at the culling stage and would cull all of them, only for the fact that I know they are in focus when opened in PS..  Any ideas??  

27" iMac, 16GB ram running High Sierra

What file format are they?

All in RAW (Canon)

Ok.

And in the Loupe?  Still sharp there?

[sla453]

No - really pixelated..??  

[sla453]

It must be a hardware issue as I've just discovered on my MacBook they are fine..???

Screenshot please.

So this is the screenshot direct from Bridge on my iMac (ima.. The Loupe eventually became un-pixelated but the overall image preview is blurry..  Yet the same screenshot on my MacBook is perfectly sharp. It's happening to all the images on my iMac..???  So I'm guessing its a hardware/setting issue???

....same image, screenshot from my MacBook.. Perfectly sharp.

Have you got "Generate Monitor Size Previews" turned on?  https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/16958-br2-16/

It's selected on my 15" MacBook, but not on the iMac..  Have turned it on but no difference .... however, on my iMac, in full screen preview mode (spacebar for full screen), when I zoom in 1 level - the image becomes sharp..????

I believe you have to rebuild cache after you turn it on.  Have you done so?

[sla453]

Not that I'm aware of.? Would you know (stupid question) how to do this?  

[sla453]

 

Scrap that - I've found it..

Clearing the cache worked - just to let you know.

Wonderful.
