A few weeks ago, I posted the following, first on the post-procesing thread, and then here; I got no responses from the post-processers, and one from here. So, maybe nobody really cares, but I finally solved the problem. First, the post:
I'm using the latest Photoshop CC update, and I am noticing that some processed ".psd" files don't show exposure data in the Bridge metadata panel.
Some ".psd" files are showing up as thumbnails in Bridge, and some are showing up with just a ".psd" symbol; it's these later files that don't show exposure data in the metadata panel.
When these are converted to ".jpg" files, they still don't show the exposure data. The ".NEF" files I started with do show the data.
Anyone know any trick I'm missing to keep that metadata showing?
BTW, I'm working in Mojave 10.14.2, if that makes any difference
The solution:
looking at Bridge > Preferences > Thumbnails, there's a place for "Do not process files larger than," with a number. Mine had 1000 mb. When I bought a D850, I ended up with a bunch of .psd files larger than 1 gb. When I changed that number to 2000 mb, the metadata works as expected.

Wow! That simple? I know you are elated that you found it. Glad you did!!
Maybe you were the first to experience that anomaly and no one could answer?

Exactly. With the second anomaly being there were no wild guesses

Yes, THAT'S what surprised me.
That is certainly good to know and it is a great tip. A 1 GB file? Wow that is huge!

I have to ask, what are you doing that grows a roughly 25mb file to over 1GB?

He's saving them as Photoshop (.psd) files. I often start with 25 MB cr2 or dng files and by the time I save them in Photoshop as psd files, yes, they can get to 1 GB quite easily if one saves all the history, layers, etc.
Thanks, Just changed mine too.

Raw files from my D850 run about 90MB, plus or minus a bit. One example I just checked had some ACR stuff done to it - correct white balance, some contrast, hightlight control, some individual color brightness and saturation, lens corrections, sharpening - and then in Photoshop, the background was selected and replaced with black. That's it. It turned out to be 1 gb even according to Bridge.
