Photoshop (PSD) files display all white
Both the thumbnail and the media page are displaying my layered PSD files as all white. When I save a single-layered PSD file, it displays fine. I think this is a Photoshop issue because the media page says "Frame 1/4" when displaying these layered images, as if it was looking at the first frame of an animation. But I haven't a clue as to what to do in Photoshop to change that. The Timeline window in Photoshop CS6 is empty -- it's not showing that the file is an animation.

Did you try saving it as a layered Tiff ? 0 -
No, but I'm not sure I want TIFF. I always save my files in Photoshop format. By the way, the layers are adjustment layers with masks, and my Photoshop settings says to create preview images.
I think it has something to do with the "Frame 1/4" that I'm seeing on the media page. Why does it think these images have frames?0 -
maybe this will help...

I had problems some time ago with MP showing my PSD files.
As I said in a post just below this on tiffs
"I had problems with MP until I went to rendering using the WIC, and only then after I installed a new set of Codecs from FastPicturerViewer.

Best move I made, and I think the rendering speed also improved."
It could be a codec issue.0 -
Too bad -- I have a Mac.
Yes MP media rendering speed is awful--the Finder does a better job. I wanted to present a slide show, but doing through MP was unusable. I finally got the show that I wanted by exporting my photos to iPhoto, after hacking the dates on my exported files so that iPhoto would sort them in the desired order.0 -

Yes, MP needs a lot of work. Slide shows are one of the things I use Lightroom for.0 -
I can't find the relevant post right now, but there is documentation for both EM2 and the old iView where layered PSD files show up with "frames" in Media View. Each "frame" is actually a layer. In the upper right of Media View, there should be right and left arrows you can click to flip through to get to the best looking layer for your image. I guess you could create a merged layer for the image and use that.
Not a bulk solution, I realize.0 -

Yes, that works, but it's pretty poor. It doesn't affect what the thumbnail looks like, and MP doesn't remember the chosen layer next time I look at the file.
I thought maybe I could tell Photoshop to save full size previews with my files, which MP might then use, but I don't see such an option in the File Handling Preferences dialog, despite what it says about MacOS in the help at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/c ... 7783a.html.
I don't recall this problem prior to CS6, so maybe it's a Photoshop issue.0 -
It means you have Maximum Compatibility turned off in Photoshop's preferences. Any .psd file with more than one layer will show as blank white. Single layer .psd files where the layer is specifically defined as Background will get a preview.
See this thread:

Yes, maximum compatibility fixes it. It does add a huge amount to the file, for example 200 MB instead of 137 MB, but since I don't do multi-layer PSD's that much, I can probably live with it. FWIW the Mac Finder's quick look has the same issue, displaying layered PSD's as all white. However Cover Flow can see the files. 0 -

Yup, it all depends on how an app or function is trying to display the image. The Mac desktop displays its icon and ignores trying to preview the layers. Which is likely what CoverFlow does.
Per the link to my other thread, I really wish Phase One would do the same thing with .psd and .psb files in Media Pro. Just use the desktop icon as the preview for these file types so users aren't forced to have Maximum Compatibility on.0
