  • Bridge opens JPEG files in Windows Photo Viewer not Photoshop

    How do I tell Bridge to open my JPEG files in Photoshop and not Windows Photo Viewer? I see that Windows Photo Viewer is selected as the default in my preferences and I do not see Photoshop as an option. I do see COM Surrogate 6.1. I just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 yesterday and I am just noticing this issue. I never dealth with this problem with CS5. Any suggestions? Thank you all for the help.

    If you deleted CS5 after installing CS6 you are one of the unfortunate that also fouled up the file associations. 
    The safest way to restore function is to uninstall CS6, run the Adobe script cleaner and reinstall.
    There is a registry fix that I include as an option, but on vacation so can not find that references.
    Some have had succes with running CCleaner, but registry cleaners can cause some problems of their own if the delete "good files".

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

    Thanks!
    Let me make a few educated guesses:
    1.— You're on a Mac.
    2.— Your image files are being opened in Apple's Preview.app
    If I guessed correctly, all you need to do now is go to the Finder, do a Get Info on one of your files (Command 1), change the Open With application to Photoshop, then click on the Change all button.  You'll need to do this for each file type (PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, etc.

  • Bridge opens in Windows Photo Viewer

    This is a pain previous version opened directly into Photoshop, is this a bug can this be changed from Windows Viewer default to Photoshop

    I actually WANT my BMPs to open with Windows Photo Viewer, but they don't For some reason PNG files DO open with Windows Photo Viewer by default in Bridge, but BMPs open with Photoshop.
    The time to load photoshop is like loading a cannon to shoot a goldfish oftentimes when I just want to look at a picture quickly rather than edit it, sooo, I was wondering is there any way to change items TO use Windows Photo Viewer, since it's not listed as an option for anything but PNG?
    Of course, in the File Associations setting of Preferances, you can Browse for a new program to add, but it doesn't like the input of %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1 (where %1 is the filename) which is what Windows uses normally to open Windows Photo Viewer since it's part of a DLL rather than a separate program...According to a google of windows photo viewer location
    .... Yet, of course Bridge opens PNG files for me with Windows Photo Viewer, so there must be some way to add the option manually for BMP somehow if I can copy whatever set up it's using to open PNG files with it?
    Thank you for any help anyone

  • Windows photo viewer - problem with JPEG files

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working. 
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling. 
    I will appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    According to your description,please  re-associate the .jpeg with Windows photo viewer.
    1.Open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs.
    2.Click Windows Photo Viewer, and choose defaults for this program, check the .jpeg, and then click Save.
    3.Next,click Windows Photo Viewer again, and click Set this program as default.
    As you said, when you tried to right click on a JPEG, Windows Explorer stopped working.
    I suggest you use ShellExview to remove the third-party shell extension.

  • Can't open a link in a web page, goes immediately to down load and then when opened it shows downloaded to windows photo viewer, which won't open

    I open a web page, in the web page there is a link to open another link. I click on this link and the doc is 'downloaded' automatically , I click on the 'green arrow' download button at top of screen, the page opens and says 'windows photo viewer can't open the picture because photo viewer doesn't support this file format or you don't have the latest update to photo viewer'!! I just want to open the link. Grateful for advice.

    Where is that happening? Please provide the URL.

  • How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

    Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
    The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper  into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!   

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • How do I get direct into P/S cc from a picture in Bridge instead of it coming up in Windows photo viewer when I click on the picture?

    On previous versions I simply clicked on a picture in BR and it came up in P/S at the moment it defaults to Windows photo viewer. I also get a version of Elements editor 12 trial showing in the "open with" table that I would like to get rid of ?

    at the moment it defaults to Windows photo viewer.
    In Bridge preferences file type associations you can alter the application you want Bridge to open that file type in.
    I also get a version of Elements editor 12 trial showing in the "open with" table that I would like to get rid of ?
    The open with shows all applications on your system, if you have not uninstalled the trial version properly you should try to do so or just ignore it.

  • Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

    I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set  picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

  • Satellite C650 - Windows Photo Viewer freezes every time in use

    Hello all,
    my C650 is a brand new purchase and so far I haven't been able to view any photos; on a memory stick, in "My Pictures" or in any form using the Windows Photo Viewer. Once I double click on the picture icon, the image enlarges to full screen and freezes whilst "loading" is displayed.
    At this point, I can't even end the process using the windows task manager. I'm only a student and quite inexperienced with the workings of computers, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Please dont understand me wrong but best option for you will be to ask some friend of you how it works and how to handle with different picture formats and different applications.
    I mean who knows which photos do you have, which format, which capacity and so on.
    With standard jpg format there should not be any problem. For instance, in windows explorer you can find folder Public pictures with some sample pictures. Can you open these pictures?

  • I have my photos  iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty. when clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

    I have my photos in  iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

    When what is clicked?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I have bridge open, but it opens images in Windows Photo Gallery

    I have been trying to open some images, but it won't open them in Photoshop,  If I double click on a raw image it opens it in Windows photo gallery.  I have to right click to get it to go to camera raw, what has happened.

    Sorry just assumed you would realise it was PS CC.
    It was opening the NEF files in camera raw,but today it stopped and started opening them in that photo gallery, I don't know how to change it back.  I went to prefences in Bridge and it has photo gallery next to the NEF files, but doesn't look like I can change them.
