Can't Edit library image in Photoshop  =(

I just installed Captivate 2
After recording my first demo, I tried to edit the slide (the
"background" image in the library using the EDIT IN command. This
command opens MSPaint (gahh! what a horrible program!). There is no
way that I can see to tell it to open Photoshop.
By the way, in the tutorial on editing your show that comes
with the program, the movie shows Photoshop being opened.
In this
Online
Article
, there is a "note" that the external program is set during
installation, but no such set-up was offered me.
Please help me to make PHOTSHOP my editor. Thanks! =D

Hi Monooxylon and welcome to our community
Try right-clicking and selecting "Edit with...". This should
allow you to browse to where PhotoShop is installed and choose it.
Once you do this, Captivate should remember the setting and use it
from there forward.
Also, keep in mind that the editor can be different for
different image types. For example, .BMP images may open using
MSPaint, .GIF open using FireWorks and .JPG open using PhotoShop.
But you get to choose what opens with what.

  • Edit Library Image  in Photoshop Elements

    It seems to be a hit or miss problem with updating images in
    Captivate Library. I am retrofitting files some one else created. I
    use Edit with... option and open in Photoshop Elements Edit exe.
    The edits in Photoshop goes as planned.
    I use Save from drop-down menu and then keyboard to Enter
    default entries... sometimes the update Captivate screen flies
    across the screen and update occurs in the Library. The majority of
    the time the Photoshop file (saved in Temp) never updates in
    Library. When I export again to Photoshop I can view changes ...
    will not update slide background (with same name).
    How can I streamline the edit images in Library feature?
    Why doesn't Update option permit browsing?
    Thank You!

    Hi Tam D. and welcome to our community
    I would think that PhotoShop may present an issue when
    editing in this fashion. Why? I think this because the native
    format for PhotoShop is .PSD file extension I believe. So I'm
    wondering if it's even feasible to expect PhotoShop to make an edit
    to something in .GIF, .JPG, .PNG or other type and save changes
    directly to this type. I'm thinking you could hit a snag when
    attempting this.
    As for the Update option not allowing browsing, I suspect
    it's because Captivate knows where it pulled an image from. So the
    update function would probably only allow you to change the file
    externally, then inside Captivate, update to ensure the copy stored
    inside the Captivate .CP file matched what was on the hard drive.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Lightroom 5.4 jumps to second monitor when attempting to edit an image in Photoshop CS 6.

    Hello,
    I have a brand-new HP z620 with an Nvidia Quadro K 4000 display adapter and apparently a software and/or hardware conflict.
    I am experiencing an issue with Lightroom 5.4 window not working correctly with my second, not primary, monitor. When Lightroom is working on the second monitor and I need to edit an image in Photoshop cs6, I want Lightroom stay where it is and Photoshop to open on my primary monitor. And this has worked well for me on my previous system which was also a Windows 7 64-bit machine with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570.
    When I click the Lightroom option to "edit in Photoshop CS 6” The Lightroom window will move itself to the primary monitor for no apparent reason. This is the problem I am seeking to remedy.
    No other external editing programs opened through LR behaves this way, such as NIK or OnOne Perfect Photo Suite, and I really need LR to stay on the second monitor on the extended desktop.
    I’ve tried every monitor cabling setup I could think of to try and even unplugging the primary to make windows identify it as the 2 monitor in the screen resolution settings, but that does nothing for me. My new workstation is running the same OS version and a K4000. Monitors are currently connected to the display ports via dp to dvi adapters. I’ve already tried moving the connections around and plugging one into dvi, there doesn’t seem to be a setting I can change within windows or adobe to change this behavior.”
    On a related note, I have similar instability in software made by X-rite that supports the use of a colorimeter allowing me to build profiles for monitors and evaluate colors precisely. During the profiling process I place the colorimeter in the designated place on the secondary monitor and direct the application to begin showing the colorimeter different colors on that monitor. At this point the colors jump to the primary monitor while the rest of the interface along with the colorimeter is a secondary monitor. I have a workaround that I'm using for this particular problem but I am fairly sure that the issue that causes the problem with Lightroom is also the source of my trouble here and I need to eliminate it.
    thanks for your time,

  • I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop.

    I just installed Lightroom 5.3, and I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. The problem is that I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop is not active (i.e., it's not black), so I can't click on it. Why are the options for Photoshop and all of the other Photoshop related options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., not active? In Preferences I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None. I am using Windows 7.

    Chris:
    I have to apologize for being misleading on my request for help in
    resolving the problem.
    Actually the version I am using is CS2 not CS3.
    Yesterday I tried numerous times, and ways, to edit an image and each time
    it refused to allow me to save it.
    The software program just shut down. This evening when I decided to give it
    another try it worked perfect.
    Guess the program just took the day off.
    Thank you for offering to help
    Regards,
    Doug

  • How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6?

    How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6? The company hired somebody to set up the droplet years ago, and nobody remembers how it was set up. The computer that was used to save the files has crashed, and I need to change the path the droplet uses for saving the files. I tried to open the droplet with Image Ready, but it said it was not an image ready droplet and could not be opened. The computer running Photoshop is using Windows XP.

    It seems that the script on the ps scripts page is to old to work in cs5.
    This is a lnk to xtools 1.8 which has the latest version of the droplet decompiler:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/xtools/
    Just unzip, find the Apps folder and look for the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
    Then put your droplet on the desktop, Use File>Scripts>Browse in cs5 to navigate to the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
    Here's an example using the Aged Photo.exe droplet from the ps 6 samples folder:
    here's the resulting action opened in cs5:

    Hi Karen
    You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

  • Can't edit a photo in Photoshop

    I have no problem in general with editing raw images in Photoshop by using the "Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS3..." command. It's a regular part of my workflow. But one specific image refuses to open. It'll launch Photoshop, but no image is opened.
    Running Mac OS X 10.6 and LR 2.5.
    Anyone else seen this or have any suggestions about what causes this behavior?

    I can actually open the file in ACR without problem. Seems like the problem only occurs when I try to open it from within LR. I guess I'll have to experiement with how any edits in PS will be treated inside lightroom after I save the file. Maybe I have to import the PSD manually into the catalog?

  • How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon.  i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer.  On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented.  On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures.  On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file.  I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work.  I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
    I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon?  (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
    Cheers.

  • My LR 5.7.1 running on Windows 8.1 64-bits can not edit a image on PS CC 2014...

    My LR 5.7.1 running on Windows 8.1 64-bits can not edit a image on PS CC 2014...

    This will happen if you are in the Library Module and viewing images in the grid but you do not have any photo file selected. Select an image and the options should be available. see the screen capture.

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • Can't Open Bridge Images in Photoshop

    Upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6, Windows 7. Uninstalled CS5. Now can't open Bridge images in Photoshop.

    Thanks, problem solved!
    The first thing I did was check the file associations which, indicating “Photoshop”, I assumed was OK.
    But then, motivated by your suggestion, I checked more carefully and found that “Photoshop” was pointing to an earlier version.
    Next I “browsed” and reset the association to the Photoshop CS6 .exe file and now images in Bridge open in Photoshop just like they used to.

    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.

  • Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

    I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
    Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
    But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
    thanks for reading and advice pleae

    Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file.  The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
    This list is pertinent:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
    Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
    Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format.  You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
    You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
    Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6.  Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.
