Pixelated Thumbnails

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.

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.
