view in Win 7

August 12, 2011 6:33:29 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

  Has anyone found a solution for veiwing png , tga , and psd thumbnails in Windows7 64 bit? In XP there was a stable solution through "Power Toys for XP" available through Microsoft downloads center.

I have trieed several 3rd party applications but none have worked correctly or at all for that matter.So I am looking for someone running Win7 64bit that has found a working solution!

  Thank you A/V

Are you looking for something other than Photoshop or Windows Photo Viewer? There lots of ways to view those things Windows 7 64 bit.

Hi birthday boy!

1. You can take a look at MysticThumbs: http://tbxstudio.com/psd-thumbnail-viewer-on-windows-explorer-for-windows-7-vista-64/

2. http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/

3. Thumbview - I think this is what you're looking for.

If you are talking about thumbnails on your desktop, Mysticthumbs will do it. But I think you have to pay for it.

I use FastStone Image Viewer when looking at thumbnails of pictures. Fast, free and easy to use.

(edit ... Doc is too fast  )

Mystic Thumbs just quite working on my system one day and I found this for $19.95. I am assuming you want to view thumbs for PSD in Explorer? http://www.ardfry.com/Download.htm You would want the PSD Codec. Mystic Thumbs is no longer free and I find the Ardfry Codec more reliable.

Should work... did you download the right version? Did you try rebooting?

Yes, and no. If I read correctly, one installer works for both 32 and 64.  It didn't prompt me to reboot.

The Ardfry Codec was developed specifically for 64 bit Windows. A lot of the older ones will not work on 64 bit.

I use a program called Xnview. It lets me view AND manipulate all of those.

It just isn't working. PSDs still just show an icon. Maybe a reinstall will fix it?

I can do that with Irfanview. It would be great to be able to see thumbnails in the native explorer view, rather than having to open the files in an external viewer, like Irfanview.

Dopus not doing it either, Jafo. I still see the PSD icons rather than thumbnails.

But will it let you view them IN explorer, naturally?

As in, open your directory and see the thumbnails without opening them in a 3rd party app?

Yes Jim, it is the only program that I have found that works consistantly on Win 7 64 bit to view PSD's as thumbs in Windows folders.

  I truly appreciate all the help! I am still actively looking as none support .tga which is what 95% of all images in a windowblind skin are so that makes them the primary concern.

 I have roughly 30 PSD files on my PC I almost never use photoshop it is just to slow.

 However I have 20,000+ tga's that are unviewable unless opened by a program . So I am still searching and if I find anything I will post it here!If anyone else does please post it here as well!!

Thank you again Harley
