Mike Comber Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 All of a sudden, when I select an image folder in Bridge, all the content thumbnails are blank (displayed as solid white). Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 That sure is odd. What about in the Preview panel? Can you see them there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Comber Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Same issue with the Preview panel. If I select images from the Content panel (even though they are blank) , they will open in Camera Raw as normal. Do you think uninstalling and re-installing Bridge would be prudent?

Damien Symonds Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Well, let's not rush into that just yet. What about after you've copied all the files onto your computer? Does that make any difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Comber Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's not just when I'm looking at images an my SD card; the same problem exists when I look at any folder already on my computer. However, something I just noticed is that, when I first click on a folder, the images appear very briefly but then quickly change to blank. I didn't notice this before because it happens so quickly.

Mike Comber Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop 2021. It is under 2 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 345GB free out of 475GB. The last time I shut down was more than 24 hours ago. I have never run a cleanup program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 When did the problem begin, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Comber Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I first noticed it yesterday. I had previously gone through your Bridge and Camera Raw classes, as well as module 1 of the Layers & Masks class without any problem. One time when I opened Bridge while I was part way through module 2 of the L & M class, the blank images appeared, and have been doing so every time I have opened Bridge since.

Damien Symonds Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 What I was trying to glean was, have you restarted your computer since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Comber Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Yes, I have restarted my computer a couple of times since I first had the problem, but that didn't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Comber Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I'm now also seeing something that I think is not right in Photoshop. I seem to recall that when I selected a brush, e.g. a soft round brush, a "squiggly line" pictorial of it showed up in the brush panel. Now this is also blank.

Damien Symonds Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Wow. It seems like there might be something screwy with your graphics, eh? Have you checked for any available updates for your graphics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Comber Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I haven't. Not sure where to go look. The problem has got even worse in the last 1/2 hour. Now I can't open Bridge or PS at all. When I try to open Bridge, nothing happens except a chime sounds. When I try to open PS, the initial logo page comes up but then I get crash report. I've sent the crash report with comments to Adobe. Not sure how responsive they will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Comber Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Well, bugger me! I found the latest graphics card driver and installed it - now everything seems to be working properly again. Based on the progression of my issues, this would have been the last thing I would have thought of doing. My utmost thanks to you. (I will follow up with running a clean up program) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
