Associating image files with Photoshop

I'd like to associate jpg or raw files with Photoshop, whereby I can click on the image file and it will launch directly into Photoshop. When I try to associate through Windows 8 it fails to find Photoshop CC as an option to open any form of graphic files, yet I can open PS CC directly and then open the files, or go through Bridge. Thanks.

I find in windows two thing need to be set correctly for that to work like you want. First the file extension associations must to set to ypir Photoshop version and the windows registry keys for photoshop.exe shell commands open and edit must be set correctly.
File associations may be checked and changes with the control panels default programs file association application and the registry keys can be checked. and modified with regedit.

Opening iPhoto 8 JPG file with Photoshop CS3 Camera Raw editor

I have all my photos stored in my iPhoto 8 library. I have both RAW (CR2) and JPG images. iPhoto 8 opens the CR2 images with Photoshop Raw editor, but I want to use iPhoto to open JPG images with the Photoshop Raw editor using Camera Raw.
How do I do this without having to export JPG images and opening from Photoshop?
Thanks!

SP:
If you're trying to use the RAW editor on a jpg it can't be done. It will only work on the RAW file. If you are wanting to edit the RAW file from within iPHoto with CS3 then set CS3 to be the editor of choice in iPhoto's general preferences. Next go to the Advanced iPhoto preference pane and select the option "User RAW when using external editor". That will open the RAW file with Photoshop's raw editor. When you finish you MUST save the new file to the Desktop and import as a new file.
For some general info on using Photoshop with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Image files with large pixel dimensions display out of focus in a Bridge viewer?

I Create image files with pixel dimensions 2048x1365. When I display these files from Bridge on my Mac, either by pressing the space bar or in a slideshow, the images are out of focus. If I left click or click/hold and move the images slightly on screen they display in sharp focus. Unfortunately, although landscape-orientation images display correctly with no change in position or size, portrait-orientation files are enlarged and display with top and bottom off the screen. The pixel dimensions of my monitor are 2450x1600 so, yes, if portrait images are displayed at 100% they should display off screen, but this does not excuse the out of focus display of landscape files on this large screen. Nor does this explain why the portrait files are out of focus when they fit on screen. When the same files open in a Camera Raw window they are in focus. When they open in Photoshop at 100% the files are in focus.

Hi,
I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
Nitin

For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File

Hi Friends,
I Deleted Temp File, And Now get A Error when open photoshop file " Could Not Complet ... is not a valid photoshop format " and my file size is 60mb
and i have temp file that size is 2.50GB but How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File?
Thank you So Much

You can search for recovery programs but most likely if it a temp file is not an image file. You could also try renaming the file to have an image file type and try to open with Photoshop. Again its most likely not an image file. Photoshop only supports some image files formats.

Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
Did somebody get the same problem?

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).

Mixing CSS colors and image files from Photoshop for web

Hello,
I recently encountered a web production color issue and wanted to collaborate with other web producers to either inform or to see if there isn't a better work-around....
A web site design has a particular color palette and some elements are converted to HTML/CSS colors (rgb hex values) and other elements must be saved as images--both with the same exact color appearance. We graphics professionals know that generally all images should have the color profile indicated (embedded, tagged) in the image file (e.g., sRGB, Adobe RGB or whatever) in our color-managed workflow so that the color numbers have meaning. For web, I've always used sRGB (the web standard) and tagged the images with the sRGB color profile.
Historically, this probably hasn't mattered because no web browser cared about the image profiles anyway. However, recently, some browsers have started to implement color-management. This is good for pictures and such, but poses a problem for web graphic elements: the images are rendered in the color-managed sRGB, yet the CSS is still rendered outside of color-management (the so-called monitor or "device" profile?). Therefore, if a web page design's color palette is to be honored, the HTML/CSS hex colors must appear the same as the matching hex colors embedded in the images. However, modern browsers now render the colors in the color-profile-tagged/embedded images differently, so the colors on the rendered pages no longer match!
My work around has been to NOT tag (embed) the web-element image files with any color profile and thus cause the modern browsers to do what they used to: render the images without a color profile just like they render HTML/CSS hex colors. Perhaps in the future, there will be an HTML specification to inform the web browser to render all colors (HTML/CSS/images) in a particular color profile. (In my cursory testing, I've found that current Safari and Chrome for Windows 7 do alter the tagged-image appearances, yet Safari in iOS does not.)
Have other web producers run in to this issue and are there more eloquent work-arounds?

Can't associate PSD file with Photoshop CC in Win 7!

I just updated from Photoshop CS6 to CC. All of the file types I had associated with CS6 reverted to a default image program. When I attempted to associate these files, including photoshop psd files, win7 refused to recognize CC as a program I could associate files with! Has anyone else had this issue? Solution?
Thanks so much
Bill

By any chance did you un-install CS6 after installing CC. Adobe un-installers have always been a problem for me and I have stopped using them.. Now I just wipe out older Photoshop versions install tree and remove its un-install entries in windows registry. What I think may have happened if you did un-install CS6 after installing CC is. The CS6 un-install restore the file association it had updated to the applications that were in effect before CS6 was installed. Even though CS6 associations had been updated by the CC install to CC. So the associations reverted back to your very old associations. When you installed CC the second time the install updated you file associations again.

DrawImage takes long time for images created with Photoshop

Hello,
I created a simple program to resize images using the drawImage method and it works very well for images except images which have either been created or modified with Photoshop 8.
The main block of my code is
public static BufferedImage scale( BufferedImage image,
                                      int targetWidth, int targetHeight) {
   int type = (image.getTransparency() == Transparency.OPAQUE) ?
                    BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB :
                    BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB;
   BufferedImage ret = (BufferedImage) image;
   BufferedImage temp = new BufferedImage(targetWidth, targetHeight, type);
   Graphics2D g2 = temp.createGraphics();
   g2.setRenderingHint
         RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
         RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC
   g2.drawImage(ret, 0, 0, targetWidth, targetHeight, null);
   g2.dispose();
   ret = temp;
   return ret;
}The program is a little longer, but this is the gist of it.
When I run a jpg through this program (without Photoshop modifications) , I get the following trace results (when I trace each line of the code) telling me how long each step took in milliseconds:
Temp BufferedImage: 16
createGraphics: 78
drawimage: 31
dispose: 0
However, the same image saved in Photoshop (no modifications except saving in Photohop ) gave me the following results:
Temp BufferedImage: 16
createGraphics: 78
drawimage: 27250
dispose: 0
The difference is shocking. It took the drawImage process 27 seconds to resize the file in comparison to 0.78 seconds!
My questions:
1. Why does it take so much longer for the drawImage to process the file when the file is saved in Photoshop?
2. Are there any code improvements which will speed up the image drawing?
Thanks for your help,
-Rogier

You saved the file in PNG format. The default PNGImagReader in core java has a habit of occasionally returning TYPE_CUSTOM buffered images. Photoshop 8 probably saves the png file in such a way that TYPE_CUSTOM pops up more.
And when you draw a TYPE_CUSTOM buffered image onto a graphics context it almost always takes an unbearably long time.
So a quick fix would be to load the file with the Toolkit instead, and then scale that image.
Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(/*the file*/);
new ImageIcon(img);
//send off image to be scaled A more elaborate fix involves specifying your own type of BufferedImage you want the PNGImageReader to use
ImageInputStream in = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(/*file*/);
ImageReader reader = ImageIO.getImageReaders(in).next();
reader.setInput(in,true,true);
ImageTypeSpecifier sourceImageType = reader.getImageTypes(0).next();
ImageReadParam readParam = reader.getDefaultReadParam();
//to implement
configureReadParam(sourceImageType, readParam);
BufferedImage img = reader.read(0,readParam);
//clean up
reader.dispose();
in.close(); The thing that needs to be implemented is the method I called configureReadParam. In this method you would check the color space, color model, and BufferedImage type of the supplied ImageTypeSpecifier and set a new ImageTypeSpecifier if need be. The method would essentially boil down to a series of if statements
1) If the image type specifier already uses a non-custom BufferedImage, then all is well and we don't need to do anything to the readParam
2) If the ColorSpace is gray then we create a new ImageTypeSpecifier based on a TYPE_BYTE_GRAY BufferedImage.
3) If the ColorSpace is gray, but the color model includes alpha, then we need to do the above and also call seSourceBands on the readParam to discard the alpha channel.
3) If the ColorSpace is RGB and the color model includes alpha, then we create a new ImageTypeSpecifier based on an ARGB BufferedImage.
4) If the ColorSpace if RGB and the color model doesn't include alpha, then we create a new ImageTypeSpecifier based on TYPE_3BYTE_BGR
5) If the ColorSpace is not Gray or RGB, then we do nothing to the readParam and ColorConvertOp the resulting image to an RGB image.
If this looks absolutely daunting to you, then go with the Toolkit approach mentioned first.

Automation in saving a image file with a specific max file size

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me by this.
Background info:
We got several image files every 2 weeks which should be edited and mainly reduced in size for web purpose. This work needs 1 work day for one man/woman to do, because he/she has to open the file save for web and then set the quality to a value were the file is nearly about 150-200 KB in size.
The images are different, some have few colors, some have a lot of colors and there are also different in resolution. But they should not be reduced in resolution, only in quality. All other specs of the image should be kept
Is there any possible script, plug-in or similar which can do the same (Saving with a specific max. file size) in some automatic and faster way?
Any help is really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
