30D Raw thumbnails in CS2

Hey guys, I've noticed that I can see my Raw thumbnails from my D60 but I can't see the thumbnails of my 30D, I downloaded the latetest raw plug in so what am I doing wrong?

try and clear the cache

Nope that didn't work. Any other ideas?

Are you sure you have ACR3.4? If so re-read the instructions for installation. If not in the correct place it will not work. Also, can you open the files in ACR?

EDIT: After reading your post again where are you viewing the thumbnails?

I'm viewing the thumbnails in PSCS2 in Bridge. Yep ACR 3.4

Did you clear the cache for one folder or central cache?

Mike, I'm not sure, can you tell me exactly what you think I should do and how to do it. The one I hit said purge cache while in bridge

There are 2 options. Go to Tools > Cache

Purge cache for this folder
Purge central cache

Try the second. This was what Adobe said to do if the thumbnails were not visible. If that doesn't do it then try reinstalling the plug-in.

Make sure you unzipped the raw plugin into the correct folder.
It needs to be in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats

Note the Common Files, it needs to be in there for it to work in Bridge as well.

HTH

Mike, I did exactly what you said , still no go.

Toogy, I have CS@ and I don't see "Common files" But I did installit in Plug ins. Still no go, I can open them no prob, Just can't see what the Pic is by looking at the thumbnail.

If Camera Raw.8bi isn't copied to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats (Windows), Photoshop/Bridge will not work correctly with ACR. I'd be very surprised that this dir doesn't exist on any Windows system, as many programs use this dir - inluding MS Office, Java, and Canon. Do a search of all drives, it may be on an alternate drive.

Sounds like you installed ACR into the wrong plugin folder and you most likely have competing plugins. Make sure it is installed in the correct folder, then clear the cache and reselect the folder in bridge with the RAW files.

In Photoshop, you can verify plug-in versions by accessing the Help menu.

As has been said, on the Windows version of CS2, Camera Raw.8bi goes in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats

People assume that they know where Camera Raw.8bi goes, put it in the Photoshop Plug-Ins folder (contrary to Adobe's instructions) and hit trouble. Put Camera Raw 3.4 in the location above, then check C:\Program Files\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins and all subdirectories, and delete any copies of Camera Raw.8bi found there.

Close any Adobe applications that are open (or, if you like, log out and log back in or even reboot). Return to Bridge and if things still don't work, clear the cache.

Bingo, The common files was still on my C drive, I reinstalled CS2 to my F drive to make space on the C drive and the Common files was actually in my documents, weird but I got it!! Thanks everyone for all of your help
