Can't edit with Photoshop

I'm having an issue trying to edit my images.  When I right click on an image and go to "edit with - photoshop CS4" nothing happens.  I've tried several times with several images and nothing.  The other day when I was editing it suddenly started opening IrfanView instead of Photoshop.  Now, I just tried again to doublecheck and Photoshop isn't even an option - only Illustrator CS4 and IrfanView.  This is getting frustrating.  Is anyone else having a similar issue with the "edit with" feature?  Any ideas on how to remedy this issue?

Yes, I've had the same problem using IDCS4 on Win XP. I got MS Paint opening and I vaguely recall what I did to fix it.
Thinking it was a memory problem I know I 'Closed' and 'Re-Opened' IDCSC4 at least once. I must have closed Photoshop and Acrobat also to free up RAM prior to doing this. I think failing that, I rebooted (maybe more than once, and to a full, dead, shut down and wait for the RAM to fully discharge for 5 minutes, as I recall). Then I just started and launched ID only, and it went away, finally. It hasn't reared it's ugly head since.

  • How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

    I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
    For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • Editing with Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Elements 8

    I posted this in the PSE forum but didn't get any hits. Hopefulyy I'll be luckier here.
    I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8. I do all my editing usually with Photoshop CS3. I use Elements mainly for the organizer.
    When I choose Edit with Photoshop from the organizer, it launches the application but the photo does not open in Photoshop. Nevertheless, there is a banner accross the photo in Elements that says "Edit in Progress". If I close Potoshop CS3, the banner stays there. I have to close Elements to get rid of it. If I choose "Open with Photoshop Elements" it works fine.
    That used to work fine with my previous version of Elements 6.0. Everything works fine in CS3. Any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?
    I'm running Photoshop Elements and CS3 on Windows Vista 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    I have too much invested in Elements Organizer. 1000's of photos over a period of 5 years - tagged, version sets, stacked, albums, collections, ... I don't believe Bridge can do all of that.
    I replicated the environment on a different PC with XP instead of Vista. Same problem. There seems to be a bug between Elements 8 and CS3. I don't have CS4 to test it with.
    Come guys, with all the people in this forum, someone must have hit the problem or has an idea of what's going on. I logged a case with Adobe support but I doubt this will be a quick resolution.
    Thanks.

    Hi Majouz,
    Sorry I was out of town for a week so couldn't respond. I use CS3 on a Windows XP machine (2GHz Intel, 1 GB RAM).
    Can you please see if the photograph filename or the folder path contains any special characters like aprostrophe, ampersand and all? If yes, rename your files / folders and try again.
    Let me know if this works for you.

  • IPhoto crashes when I edit with Photoshop!

    Whenever I edit an iPhoto photo using Photoshop, iPhoto crashes when I try to import it back into iPhoto. This happens whether I export the photo, Photoshop it, and re-import it, or whether I use iPhoto Preferences to select Photoshop as my editor. I can import other photos into iPhoto, just not photos that have been edited with Photoshop. Help would be much appreciated!

    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..
    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
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • Edit With Photoshop Menu Option

    It would be nice if you could change the default editor. I only use PSE for the organizer and user the regular Photoshop to edit the photos. As an alternative, it would be nice if I could right click on a photo and choose a "Edit With Photoshop" option. I know I can do this within the Edit menu bar, but it would be more direct if I could right click on a photo and be able to choose my editing software.

  • Can't edit in Photoshop CS5

    I just bought a new computer that uses Windows 7. I successfully restored my Elements Catalog. But when I click on a photo in the Organizer, then click on Edit, then on Edit with Photoshop, all that happens is I see a moving circle, then briefly an hourglass, then absolutely nothing happens. It never takes the photo into CS5 for editing. I tried going into Edit, Preferences, Editing, and Use a Supplementary Editing Application, but all it said was that CS5 is already an option. Yet it won't work. It worked just fine on my old XP computer. Help!

    On my old computer (Windows XP) I was able to click on Edit in Elements 8.0, then Edit in Photoshop, and it took me directly to CS5. Shouldn't it do the same thing in Windows 7???
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS5, and that didn't make a difference.

  • What is the most advanced version of ACR that can be used with Photoshop CS5?

    What is the most advanced version of ACR that can be used with Photoshop CS5?
    Will it open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III ?

    CS5 can use up to ACR 6.7.1.  CS6 started with ACR 7.0.
    The 5D Mark III was first supported with ACR 6.7.
    ACR 6.7.1 can be downloaded from the Camera Raw Mac and Win links on the Adobe Download page:

  • Edit With - Photoshop color shift

    When using Edit With -> Photoshop with my 12 and 14-bit NEF files, the resulting file (after editing in PS) has a color shift. Same happens when I export a Version as 16-bit TIFF or PSD and then re-import it into Aperture.
    I have tried it with 8-bit JPGs from camera, and the shift does not occur. Has anyone come across this problem and have a remedy? Your help would be greatly appreciated guys, thanks!

    Ah, thanks for the tip. I've changed my Photoshop color settings to warn me when opening files with embedded color profiles. I simply choose to work in the embedded profile and upon saving and returning to Aperture, no longer notice any color shift. Thanks again!

  • Can Kuler work with Photoshop Elements 5.0

    Can Kuler work with Photoshop Elements 5.0 and is it of
    value?

    Hi Chuck,
    Photoshop Elements 5.0 does not support Adobe Swatch Exchange
    (ASE) files, but you can copy/paste HEX values from kuler into

  • "Edit with Photoshop" isn't working any more

    Guys, when I right-click an image and choose "Edit with Photoshop CS3" (edit Lightroom copy), it will create a copy but will not launch Photoshop. This creates a problem because other than exporting the file there is now no way of editing outside Lightroom.
    How do I get this functionallity back?
    (I think it started doing this when I applied the 1.1 patch...)
    OS is WinXP.

    I am having similar symptoms using Lightroom 1.2 and CS2. I just updated to Lightroom 1.2 this week.
    The first time I select edit in CS2 Photoshop launches fine and the image is transferred. If I attempt to edit a second image Lightroom hangs indefinitely on "Preparing the file for edit". Lightroom is dead at this point. Any attempted operation, including canceling the edit, just adds to the hanging stack. The only out I have found so far is to exit Lightroom, tell it to abandon all uncompleted tasks, and then restart it. At that point it will again work correctly to edit one image. It is the editing that causes the hanging, other functions performed after an edit do not (e.g. working in the develop module on a second image).
    Lightroom 1.1 did not have this problem. The images I was working on were imported into Lightroom after I updated to 1.2. I am working under XP Pro and off of an internal (vs external) hard drive.

  • Two hours still can't scan with photoshop cs6

    two hours still can't scan with photoshop cs6 any ideas?

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding. Windows Vista - installed Flash Player 11 - no change -
    updated all drives on HP PSC 2355 scanner - no change - added twain 24 bit
    because read that 48 was not compatible with cs6 - no change.
    Basically, when I go file - import - I should see the option WIA -HP PSC 2350
    and it is not there which tells me my scanner is not integrated with cs6 as it
    was with cs3.
    Any ideas?

  • I can't print with Photoshop cs6.

    I can't print with Photoshop (CS6). My printer (HP iP6700D) works correct with every program, except Photoshop. When I choose File>Print, there appears only an error-message. And the command-line turns into grey.

    In the meanwhile I detected the problem. I made a new user account in windows and now it works correctly. So it isn't a photoshop problem but probably a register error. I have to find out furtherThanks for your reaction.
