PM5 capability to display photos edited with On1 PhotoRaw 2018
Yvan:
Hi,
I am switching to On1 PhotoRaw 2018 as my main and only photo editing software. I want to keep PM5 as my photo browser because it has more capabilities and is faster. However, when I browse folders where some photos have been edited with PhotoRaw 2018, it shows the unedited thumbnail instead of the edited photo.
When will PM5 properly display thumbnails edited with PR2018?
Thanks,
Yvan

Very likely never. In order for PM to be able to show your edits, PhaseOne would have to give us their rendering technology. This is unlikely to ever happen.

This indeed is very unlikely, what would be a viable way is to ask PhaseOne to update the embedded preview after you edited the image (either manually, e.g. as with Lightroom and DNGs, or via a setting e.g. as with Camera Raw and DNGs).

It wouldn't make any difference if they did. Phase One is known for their medium format cameras and digital backs as well as a software product called Capture One, https://www.phaseone.com/en/Products/Software/Capture-One-Pro/Highlights.aspx among a few other things.
The original poster referred to On1 Photo Raw 2018 which is a different product from a different company: https://www.on1.com/blog/announcing-on1-photo-raw-2018/
That said, I still think the answers given are correct. The OP may of course ask the software company to "fix" On1 Photo Raw 2018 to make it replace embedded previews with images created by On1 Photo Raw 2018. Even that may never happen.
Yvan:
Thanks Odd for reading properly me post (cf. it was about On1 PhotoRaw 2018 and not Capture One).
I hope Kirk will add a comment to your assumption.
When I used PM5 with Nikon Capture NX2 + Nik Color Efex Pro 3, it always showed properly the edited photos (i.e. the embedded .jpg file).
Similarly, while Windows File Explorer always displays properly the thumbnails of NEF files edited with NX2, it is not the case with On1 files. I'll certainly make a request to On1 since it is a major drawback.
Your comment Kirk?
