Hello Everyone,

I’m hoping someone could shed some light on an issue I’ve been having over the past few days.

So I’m in photoshop doing my usual adjustments, when I go to save the file it saves a totally different image than the one I’m working on. So the thumb of the file isn’t the actual file, it’s a totally different one.

Today I was working in InDesign and when I opened a project (That I preflight and packaged at the end of the previous day) InDesign said that there were missing and modified links. I thought this was strange. So when I updated the photoshop files in the InDesign document, the files were completely different ones than the day previous. >:S

I don’t know if this makes sense to anyone, because I’m sure confused. If anyone out there has some insight, that would be awesome! Thank you for taking the time to read my forum.

Kind Regards

you need to explain in exact detail what you are doing.

I suspect you are doing something wrong.

You have given us no details. My guess is you are looking at Bridge in CS3 which had a spurious thumbnail and preview bug that was never fixed.

If you open the file in Photoshop or InDesign, you will see it is in fact the correct image; only the thumbnail and the preview are wrong.

To correct this, change your Bridge preferences to UNcheck High-quality Previews, quit and relaunch Bridge, then use the Tools menu in Bridge to Purge the Cache for each offending folder, one by one. DO NOT use the global Purge Cache command in Bridge preferences.

Unfortunately, in CS3 you have to choose the lesser of two evils: either spurious thumbnails and previews or soft previews.

CS3 will not be fixed. This particular bug was fixed in CS4.

You are not addressing Adobe here, we’re all users just like you.
