Pixelated Thumbnails

[Keith_He...@adobeforums.com]

Hello,
I'm using Photoshop 6 on a desktop iMac G3 OS 10.3.9
For some reason the thumbnails of all pictures
worked on and saved in photoshop are pixelated (well -
just plain degraded, really) compared to the normally
acceptable thumbnail that represents the original
picture file. (I didn't have this problem when I was
using the same photoshop 6 on an earlier desktop with
OS 8.6 some years ago). The problem's the same whether
saving as jpg psd or tif files.

Editing and saving in iPhoto or any other application
produces perfectly fine thumbnails.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Keith

Keith,

As you're probably aware, PS6 is an ancient (8-year-old) version of Photoshop, combined with an old operating system. So help for this, as can be best remembered, may be rather sparse now.

I didn't have this problem when I was using the same photoshop 6 on an
earlier desktop with OS 8.6 some years ago

One thing to remember is that PS6 was released before and never designed for use under a later, radically different OS, like Mac OS 10.3.9, and there may not be a solution.

About the only thing I can suggest for your existing setup is that if you haven't updated to PS 6.0.1, you should do that. You can still download that update at: <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1122>

Maybe someone else has an idea.

But, is there a reason (other than possibly monetary) that you have kept this old setup, and have not updated hardware, software and software? My concern is that support is only going to get more difficult for you with every passing day.

Are you actually running PS6 on OSX 10.3.9 (I don't think that one can?); or are you running it under the subsidiary Mac Classic?

Thumbnails are always pixelated in Mac Classic.

Photoshop 6.x only runs in Classic under OS X.

Photoshop 7.x was the first version to run natively in OS X.
