Lightroom "Open With," "Open As..." Links to Photoshop 5.1 grayed out.

I am working with the latest versions of Photoshop, Lightroom & ACR. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the links to Photoshop from Lightroom were all grayed out. for example when I right click on an image and select "Open With," it and all of the rest of the links to Photoshop are grayed out and inaccessable. I have been using Photoshop since v2 ansd Lightroom since v1.  My operating system in Win 7.
I read some related messages in the forum and followed advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop to reestablish the links. I spent about two hours doing that yesterday. when I was done the links were back and functional. I left the compluter on all night to make sure everything was backed up. This morning I opened Lightroom (64bit) and attempted to open an image in Photoshop for editing. All of the links were grayed out again.
So today I uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom. Still no luck.
Please, if anybody has insight regarding this issue please let me know.
Thanks, Jim

Well I wish I could say that my issue was fixed but it is back. After reinstalling PS the links worked. During the same session, after leaving the computer for a while and coming back, the links were broken again. I am at my wits end and can't imagine myself reinstalling Photoshop several times a day. If I can't get a resolution I will have to eliminate Lightroom from my workflow.

  • Using Bridge CC when I right click on picture to show open with menu it wont show Photoshop cc 2014. How do I fix that?

    Using Bridge CC when I right click on picture to show open with menu it wont show Photoshop cc 2014. How do I fix that?

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser

    After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser when I try to import into Facebook (ie.).

    Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
    Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
    I'll answer just this one little question.  Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
    You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
    The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway.  Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
    You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

  • "open with" opens CS6 and not CC

    I have CS6 and CC on my system.  CC opens fine when I open it with the Shortcut.  But when I try to open a tif file on my desktop, the default program is CS6 and not CC.  So I try "open with and CC is not listed.  So I go to browse and find the Photoshop CC.exe icon under programs and choose it, I can't get it to show in the list.  I want to make this my defalult program and it won't work.  Help please.
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    I've had the same issue on Windows 7 64 bit. If I try to set file associations Windows simply does not recognize Photoshop CC. I browse to the .exe file, but it does not work.
    After I removed PS CS 6 all the file types reverted to the default program. Now the only way I can open a file in PS CC is to use File > Open inside the program.
    Bridge CC does not find Photoshop CC either so that will no longer work. It makes Bridge worthless since there is no way to open anything in Photoshop.
    13 days this is here and not a single answer? Are we the only two?

  • I am showing 9 tabs open and I cannot access other websites (they are grayed out when I clock on them).  How do I close tabs?

    I was working on calendar and opened too many tabs.  I am showing 9 tabs open and it affects other sebsites I am now trying to access.  The webpage is grayed out and non-accessible.  I do not need all the tabs.  How do I close them?

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but presentation is grayed out and keynote won't open. any ideas.

    I am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but it won't open. Presentation grayed out.Ideas

    Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    ''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
    There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

  • Photoshop file is gray out

  • Premiere Elements 4/Photoshop elements 7 - grayed out menu

    I am a total newbie with no artistic skills at all.  I am just trying to create a DVD using ONE clip.
    I want to create a still shot from the clip to use as a menu background.
    According to the Premiere Elements 4 help screen I should just have to click on the camera and then have the OPTION to edit the image in Photoshop Elements.  For my setup this option is grayed out.  All I can do is save the image as a .bmp (bitmap).
    Can someone tell me why this is?  Did I do something wrong in setup?
    Is there a good book for PE ver 4?
    thanks
    Mark

    Thanks Barb and Steve
    You have both answered my question.
    Now if I wasn't so intimidated by the software I might try it
    Do you think it would make sense to upgrade to version 8 of both?  I am thinking of upgrading to a new PC since this software is such a resorce hog!
    I really need to get some books altho I read the PSE 7 missing manual and it described features that didnt work on my PC!!
    AGH!!

    I purchased iWork 08 and use it regularly, but I also use word as well. When I right click on a word document to open it with pages, it asks me to if I want to purchase iWork 06. How do I delete whatever iWork 06 programs I still have and how can I just open documents in Pages 08?

    Delete the folder in the Applications folder which contains the iWork 06 applications.

  • HT5621 I changed my apple ID on my laptop and I can no longer sync calendars from my iphone4s to the Macbook.  I went to settings and when I open iCloud account settings, my old apple id is grayed out and I can't tap it to change it.  Any suggestions??

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
