[SOLVED] Preview not the same as thumbnail

Post by Pepsi »

I've ARW files form a Sony A200.
XNView is showing them without any problem. but when I've used the image converter from Sony to optimize the pictures. then in the thumb I see the corrected image. and in the preview the original image.
It is like Bridge from adobe but bridge generates a separate XMP file. and the converter puts the additional data in the ARW file.

How can I switch from the original to the optimized?

Maybe one of these will produce expected result(?):
Options... Browser>Preview>Camera Raw [Embedded Thumbnail] (vs. 'Full size')
Browser menu... View>Rebuild thumbnails.
Browser menu... View>Refresh
Options... View>{Misc}>Camera Raw [Embedded Thumbnail]

Batch conversion run without errors. But the converted images are like the original image not like the modified that I can now see in the thumbnails and in the preview

This setting governs conversion (if memory serves):
Options... General>Read/Write>{Read}>Camera RAW [ ]High Resolution
Else, one would be converting from the full original image, and not the embedded preview.

was not the solution. It doesn't mather if High Resolution was marked or not.

the solution for the batch conversion was:
Options... General>Read/Write>{Read}>Camera RAW [ ]Use camera white balance
(it was default marked)

thanks for the support
