PSE 12 - Open With ...

Hi,
I have just installed PSE 12 and I cannot get the 'Open with' entry in the Explorer context menu to include PSE 12. How do I go about it? I am running under Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.

Hi,
I am using PSE 12 trial version and have managed to get the "Open With" to work.
Try this.
Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder specified above by the others.
Right click on the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and then select copy
Right click somewhere else in the folder and select copy - this creates a copy of the exe file.
Rename the copy to, say PSE 12.exe
Now use the instructions given above but browse to the new file ans select that
You should now see Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 in the Open With list.
You could do a regedit but there is dangers there.
Good luck

PSE 11 Orgaziner to open with a specific file.

Like that PSE 11 Orgaziner opens with a specific file, like it did with PSE 9, 6 etc.
Anybody knows how to do this??

Are these jpegs? If so make Organizer the default program by right clicking on any jpeg file in one of your folders and choosing.
Open With >> Choose Default Program >> Browse
Navigate to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
To manually associate a file format with an application:
In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

Opening .jpg with "Open with" command after installing PSE 8.0

Can anyone tell me how to get PSE 8.0 to appear in the list of available programs (using Vista) when right clicking on a photo? All my previous versions of PSE (6.0, 7.0) have appeared in the list. While Photoshop Premiere elements is there, since I installed PSE 8.0 and uninstalled PSE 7.0, I cannot right click on a photo and open it into PSE 8.0. I've tried resetting default programs and adding to the list but it simply doesn't appear. I don't know if something on installation glitched, though the program works fine- except I cannot open a photo into it without going into the program, and then going to OPEN, which is tedious. I've never had this problem before and much is different in PSE 8.0, so I don't know if its me, my computer or something in the program?
Any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of, including trying ot make it the default program but it won't do that either.
Help!
Thanks in advance if you can help.

I had the same problem on my WinXP Pro SP3 with PSE8. Windows would not let me add PSE 8 to the Open with list of any file extension. I could use Chose Program, navigate to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" and select it, but it would not be put into the Open with list. Same behaviour when I went from the explorer file extension list.
I finally found out that in the registry, there were old entries left from PSE 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\. While in PSE 3, 4, 6 and 7, the executables contained the version in their names (like Photoshop Elements 7.0.exe), PSE 5 and PSE 8 are both called PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe. This ambiguity led to Windows not adding PSE 8 in the Open with list. This only started with version 8, since before the names of the executables were all unique.
By investigating this I found out that there were leftovers from PSE 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 all over the registry, although I always uninstalled properly .
It took me quite a while cleaning this mess up.
Note: Do not alter your Windows Registry unless you know exactly what you are doing and have taken a backup of your system before!

PSE 11 - Trying to Use "Open With" not working right

Hi - I just bought PSE 11 and have installed it on my computer. I am trying to right click on a file and use the "Open With" option to open the jpg in the program. However, the program opens but not the photo. I can open files within the program by going to "File - Open" just fine. The program that is on the "Open With" list isn't the right one (it's Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 rather than PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe). However, when I try to browse to and select the correct file it doesn't show up when I get back to the "Open With" screen. I've tried uninstall and reinstall. I've also tried using the program on another user and it works fine there but I don't want to switch all of my info to another user just to open photos. Photos open just fine in PSE 9 with the "Open With" method. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks.

Go to the Editor application in the programs or programs (x86) folder and right-click on it and choose properties. Select the security tab and make sure you have full permissions with read/write capability.

Photoshop elements 8 under windows 7 "open with" cannot link editor

Hello,
I recently upgraded my computer to 64bit, loaded my photographs and can open adobe photoshop elements 8 and editor and work on pictures. However, I usually browse my pictures in windows explorer, open folders of interest and see small pictures and browse to select. On picture I rigfht click and chose to "open with". Now adobe elementsw editor does not appear in this list as it did previously. I select "chose the program to open with" and when I find it and select it, it still does not appear.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help,

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs

I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs list. The program is installed but will not show in Open With programs.

Hi,
You don't say which operating system you are using so I'll assume Windows 7 for now - try this.
1) select the file that you want to open
2) right click on it and go to the Open With option but select Choose default program at the bottom of the list - the following should open
3) At the bottom of the list, there is Other Programs, you may need to scroll down. If PSE not in the list, continue with the following.
4) Use the Browse button to browse to the following (omit x86 if on 32bit system)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
I'm assuming that you want to open the image in the editor.
5) Uncheck the Always use... option, otherwise double clicking on the file would cause the editor to open by default.
6) Click on OK
PSE should now appear on your open with list.
Good luck
Brian

Can't open PSD files using "Open With..." feature in 3rd party programs.

I use MediaPro to manage my media assets and it allows me to pass files to PE10 with an "Open With..." feature. So I can have a file selected in MediaPro, and then open that file with PE by using this feature. It worked great with PE8, but for some reason I cannot get it to work with PE10. When I use the feature, PE10 opens, but to a blank page - the actual image fails to come into the program.
I know the problem is NOT with MediaPro, since this worked flawlessly with PE8. The problem appears to be with PE10. Any ideas???
Carl...

If this is on a mac, my guess is that you are choosing the obvious file as your external editor rather than the correct one. You want this one:
The file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder is just an alias to the welcome screen.

Open with in Elements 12

I used to be able to right click on a photo and select open with/Elements 11 but in Elements 12 it will not open photo. Any hints on how to do this. I am not a fan with organizer and I would like to select a raw file and right click on the photo and open with elements 12. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure you're looking far enough down the list? For some reason in PSE 12, the editor isn't under Adobe Photoshop Elements, but just Photoshop Elements:

PSE 7 Open Raw Image from Nikon 5100

I have tried to install a bunch of different plug in's however I was only sucessful with http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4582 ... Unfortunately, it is not compatible with Nikon 5100. Is there another plug in update that I need to install to be able to view and edit my raw images from a Nikon 5100 in PSE 7?
Thanks.

No, there isn't. You either have to upgrade to the new Photoshop Elements, or else download the latest DNG converter and create digital negative copies of your images. Those can be opened with the Camera Raw that you already have. There will be no more updates for Photoshop Elements 7, and that includes the Camera Raw plug-in that is compatible with it.
Of course, another alternative would be to add Lightroom to your arsenal. It would give you a lot more options for working with your raw images. But that is a decision that you will have to make.

Open With - Options in Windows XP

I recently installed PSE10 on my computer which is running on Windows XP (Service Pack 3). It had PSE 7 running on it with no problems for several years. My problem is that I am unable to open a jpeg file by "right" clicking on the file and getting an "Open With" drop down choice of PSE 10 (Neither for "Recommended" or "Choose Program"). I went to "Control Panel" and when I checked on "Add or Remove Programs" Adobe PSE 10 is not even listed. When I check on the desktop shortcut for PSE 10 it comes up and runs just fine. I have opened up "File Options" and attempted to associate PSE 10 program file ("PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe") but nothing seems to change. Any suggestions other than "Live with it"?

Can you launch the Editor and then use
File >> Open
Then navigate to your folder to select the jpeg(s)

Mac version of PSE 12 open tiff files in ACR only. How I can open it WITHOUT ACR?

I don't like to correct TIFF (or PNG) files in ACR, but PSE 12 (Mac) open this files in ACR (I try File > Open (NOT Open in Camera Raw!!!), or double click on file, or right click on file > Open with PSE...).
WTH?

There is a preference in PS whether to prefer ACR for specific types of files. Turn that off for TIFs.

PSE 13 opens normally, but when I try to Open a file, nothing happens. [was: The problem just occurred out of the blue yesterday.]

PSE 13 opens normally, but when I try to Open a file, nothing happ ens. The Editor screen just stares back at me as if I had done nothing. Should I uninstall/reinstall?

When I do that, the only option I'm given for opening a file is "Open". not
"Open With". Right clicking on a jpeg file and clicking on Open opens the
file in Irfanview, which is the File Association for opening jpeg files. I
suppose I could change the File Association. I'll try it now.
OK, I changed the File Extension Association for .jpg and .jpeg files
to the PSE 13 Editor .exe file shown in my c:/Program Files folder, so now
clicking on any .jpg or .jpeg file opens the Editor, but again, as before,
the clicked on file does not open. It opens fine when associated with
Irfanview (opens in Irfanview, of course). And when associated with PSE
13, the PSE 13 Editor opens and appears to be ready to "receive" the
clicked on file, but nothing happens.

Right click, Open with shows PSE11 instead of PSE12

When I right click on a file and select OPEN WITH, only PSE11 is available even though I have PSE12 installed as well. I have tried browsing to PSE12 editor and selecting it however, it still is not available in the Open With options when right clicking on a file. How do I make this happen?

Yes, I am sure. The options when right clicking on an image file including raw is only PSE11. I manually added PSE12 and the editor opens however, the image never appears. I also manually went to the PSE12 folder and seleted the editor (PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe) and it opens in PSE11 editor instead.
I have tried to get assistance from Chat Support however, they have stated that I need to call for support. When I call for support they say there is only paid support for PSE. That's just really odd as I just purchased this in Novemenber and the issue is obviously with the installation.

Can windows 7 'open with' right click open more than 1 picture at a time?

A few times I have been given a usb drive or SD card & asked to enhance a few pictures for someone. I usually just select one picture & then right click open wirh & select PSE. The problem with doing this is that I can only send one picture at a time to PSE. Is it possible to get the open with command to have more than 1 picture open? I'm using windows 7 pro.

Hi,
You could try using the "Send To" option but you first have to create a shortcut.
Use the windows explorer to navigate to
C:\Users\"Your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In that folder create a new shortcut to the PSE editor.
Then you use it by selecting the images you want to process, right click and select Send To - the editor should appear in the list.
Hope that helps
Brian
