Adobe Photoshop
This example covers Photoshop 7.0

Adobe's image editing program, Photoshop, embeds sharpened thumbnails that are 128x128 pixels when it saves files. This option is controlled in Photoshop's Preferences: File Handling dialog box.

When "Macintosh Thumbnail" is checked, Photoshop will always create thumbnails at 128x128 pixels. There are no options for controlling the size of thumbnails.

If you have a default thumbnail size for your catalog set at "Huge Size" (160 pixels) or above, thumbnails for Photoshop files will appear smaller. When you rebuild it, the thumbnail size will match the rest of your catalog.

In the event that a Photoshop files does not have a built-in thumbnail, iView will automatically create it's own. The default thumbnail size for Photoshop 6.0 files is 112x112 pixels.

ImageReady Files
Adobe's image optimization program, ImageReady, does not embed thumbnails into optimized files. iView will automatically create it's own thumbnail from these files.
