How to get PSD thumbnails in explorer!
By Ps graphiX | november 18, 2007
Here you can learn how to change the normal .psd thumbnail to a thumbnail (small picture) of the actuall ducument! It’ also pretty easy, and work with Photoshop CS and above. In earlier versions, I think this was standard, but I don’t know.
Actually, it all started when I was at a photo/art shop and was going to print something I had made on my own computer. When I got there, I saw that she had a thumbnail view of my .psd document! I really wondered how this was possible, but didn’t think much about it. I was (and still are) a bit newbie at photoshop.
So recently, I did a little research about this and found out that you just had to download and add some files. On the bottom of this page I have added the files needed, and here comes a little tutorial on how to do it:
- Extract the .zip (obviously)
- Copy psicon.dll to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell. If the Shell folder doesn’t exist, just make a new folder and call it “Shell” inside the Adobe folder.
- Run Adobe.reg
- Finished! View your.psd documents as thumbnails and see the document before you open it!
FAQ
Q: Help! How on earth do I go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell?????
A: Take it easy! Just (in windows) press start>Run… and paste C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell. If it doesn’t work, erase \Shell and make a folder called Shell.
Q: I’m lost this doesn’t work!!! I’ve done everything you wrote here, but it doesn’t work here!!! Help me!!!!
A: Well, I’m not sure that this answer fixes your problem, but to get the thumbnail view, it’s important to have internet explorer in either thumbnails view or filmstrip view. Here’s a picture of it:
