Asset previews appear oversaturated for PSD assets when Dynamic Media is enabled

Last update: Thu Mar 26 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Asset previews and thumbnails display oversaturated colors when viewing PSD files in Adobe Experience Manager and Brand Portal after enabling Dynamic Media. To resolve the issue, configure Dynamic Media to render extracted PSD images.

Description description

Environment

  • Product: Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) - Assets
  • Scenario: Brand Portal with Dynamic Media enabled

Issue / Symptoms

  • Asset previews display oversaturated colors in AEM Assets view
  • Thumbnails appear visually inconsistent with extracted Dynamic Media images
  • PSD previews do not match the rendered images delivered by Dynamic Media
  • Brand Portal and AEM backend show color inconsistencies for PSD assets

Resolution resolution

  1. Configure a ruleset on the secure test (preview) Dynamic Media server to rewrite preview requests so that Dynamic Media returns the extracted image instead of the original PSD file.

  2. Create a ruleset XML file that matches PSD asset names and removes the PSD-specific suffix during request processing.

  3. Apply the ruleset to the preview server so preview and thumbnail rendering use the extracted image consistently. Use the following sample ruleset configuration:

    code language-none 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ruleset SYSTEM "RuleSet.dtd">
<ruleset>
  <rule>
    <expression>(.*)_psd(?.*)?$</expression>
    <substitution>$1$2</substitution>
  </rule>    </ruleset>
