CS4 Default Image Editor

Hello,
I am receiving a lot of emails with pictures attached. So I have set a program to view these files very fast (similar to Windows Fax/Image viewer). When I want to edit an Image within CS4 and click on "edit with external editor" the 'default' program above mentioned comes up instead of Photoshop. I know there"s a drop down menu and I can chose to open with Photoshop instead.
My simple question: can I tell CS4 that only Photoshop is the default image editor when I work within Indesign?
Thanks
Matt

Peter's right, but "image" covers a wide variety of different kinds of
files. I have .jpg set to open by default in the Windows Image viewer,
but .psd and .tif are set to open in Photoshop. I have .eps set to open
in a text editor, because I get eps files from all over the place, and
if I view it with a text editor I can usually figure out whether the eps
file came from Illustrator, or Photoshop, or some other source.
What I've never figured out about extensions is how to change the file
association for files that have no extension at all. I get a lot of Mac
files, many without extensions, and for some reason the default program
associated with extensionless files is Winamp.

Default image editor

Hi guys
is there any way where I can select photoshop as my default image editor? Every time I launch captivate I have to select edit with... and once I select photoshop it will remain for that session, but clears at the end of each session.
Seems minor but a it is little irritating.
C'mon RodWard, gimme some good news.......

I wish I could be the bearer of good news...but it would seem not to be.
I've just tested this in Cp4, Cp5 and Cp5.5. They seem to all behave differently.
In Cp4 if I select Adobe Photoshop as my editor for an image in the library, the next time I open Cp it's still shown as the editor. But you can only have one graphics editor at a time.
In Cp5 if I choose Photoshop as by graphics editor it won't remember it the next time I open Cp5. But, for some strange reason that I haven't been able to determine, it WILL remember another image editor I've used previously, Adobe Fireworks.
And finally, in Cp5.5 no matter which editor I use it won't remember any of them the next time I open the app.
Quite bizarre really. I'm prepared to believe that Cp5, given that it was a total rewrite of the app, might have missed some of the functionality found in Cp4 (there were other such cases). However, I find the fact that Cp5.5 offers even less than it's predecessors a bit puzzling to say the least. At this rate Cp6 would be on track to do away with allowing you to choose an image editor altogether.
Perhaps one of the Adobe Captivate dev team can chime in and explain to us what's going on here. Is this a known bug?

HT2506 How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

I'm assuming you want the default programme to change from Preview to Graphic Converter so that clicking on the file would open Graphic Converter instead of Preview.
Control click on the file type that you want to open using Graphic Converter. Press Command+I for Get Info. Click on the triangle next to Open With. Select Graphic Converter and Press Change All...

Setting Illustrator's default image editor? HEADACHE.

Today whilst at work, using Illustrator for the first time in a while, I wanted to edit an image (using the "edit original" option) on a linked object. However, rather than taking me to Photoshop CS3, it'd automatically took me to the Windows Image Previewer.
It was very frustrating and I lost at least an hour of labor trying to overcome the problem without having to import and export from Photoshop individually.
Where the hell do I edit the default image editor through Illustrator?

well, the HEADACHE was posted so long ago. i was in search of the same solution and i can finally reveal.
Here is the solution:
to open the image in your desired editor from adobe illustrator, first u need to go to the folder of the respective image and change the "open with" format of that image to adobe photoshop cs5, if you wish to open the image directly to photoshop from illustrator.
relink the file from illustrator. Its done. you can export the image directly to photoshop. You can do the same process for other desired editor also.

How can I change the default image editor in OS 9?

I'd like to open some jpgs (that I created in OS 10.7), but my OS 9 PBook is alerting me that the Photoshop cannot be found. It then presents me with a list of programs to open it with (Pshop is shown there and I can open the file this way or through the program itself).
How can I change it so it finds pshop and will open the jpgs directly?

My memory is rusty but I am sure it has to do with type and creator codes. I can't recite specifics so have attached some links to read.

Can I change my image editor (library pictures)?? help please :)

Hi
when you look in the library you can select all images used including background graphics (screen shots) and there is a picture of a pencil that says edit.
Mine opens fireworks. Is this the default image editor or can I change this to photoshop & where do I do that ?
Thanks

Hi there
Just a heads up on this. You may discover that after you configure the editor, Captivate may appear to lose track of it. I say this because if you edit later, you may still find that Fireworks or whatever still opens.
What causes this is that Captivate allows you to work with different image formats. PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF, etc. Each of these types may have its own editor associated. So you might edit a GIF and see FireWorks open. But if you edit a JPG, you could see Photoshop open.
Cheers... Rick

I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box

Editing in Photoshop CS4 rotates image

After making adjustments in Lightroom 3.2, if I then edit the image in Photoshop CS4, the image rotates slightly clockwise and affects any cropping and adjustments to the vertical I have already done in Lightroom. The rotation occurs as the image is opened in Photoshop so that when I return from Photoshop to Lightroom my image has changed (not counting those made in Photoshop). Why is this happening? I am working in Windows 7.

Thanks, Dorin, for your response. That sounds like the right explanation. Would CS5 handle the perspective adjustments and lens corrections correctly?
The files I am editing in Lightroom are pef (Pentax) or dng converted from pef by DxO. Right now I am right-clicking the image in Lightroom and selecting "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4". I get the same result with Ctrl+E; but Ctrl+Alt+E does nothing for me. Nothing happens with the latter. That may be because I am already using Topaz's tlfusionexpress2 as Lightroom's secondary editor.

Default Photo Editor

I mistakenly made an hp image editor the default photo editor...how do I make it stop! I want to revert to iphoto. I did the same with Firefox as my default browser and would like to revert to Safari. Sorry, I'm an idiot with these machines and would appreciate the help

sazerac
To change the default photo editor got to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences, General Pane and make your selection at Edit Photo: from the drop down pane.
Similarly, the choice of Default browser is made in the Safari Preferences, General Pane at Default Web Browser.

Problem setting PhotoShop Elements 11 as default ext editor

Don't know what I am doing wrong or not doing.
I had previously used Pixelmator as my ext editor, but have now installed PhotoShop Elements 11, and wish it to be the default exterior editor.
I have restarted the computer.
PhotoShop Elements does not show up in the toggle choice under iPhoto Preferences>Advanced -- only iPhoto and Pixelmator.
Suggestions? Thanks!

Select Pixelmator again and you'll be asked to select the app of your choice again. If you use iPhoto more than PSE 11 when you've selected PSE 11 you can reselect iPhoto. That will set iPhoto as the defauilt editor but let you use PSE 11 by control clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu.
This may also be of interest to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE reselect iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Set Photoshop as default bitmap editor

Can I set Photoshop as default bitmap editor (right click on the library item) instead of Fireworks?
TIA

Thanks you for your reply. Right clicking on an image allows the "open with" option everywhere except Entourage.. Right clicking the image in Entourage only allows "open", not "open with" and then photoshop opens. In order to use Preview, I have to save the attachment to the desktop and then "open with" Preview. The odd thing is double clicking in Entourage used to open images in Previews automatically.

Remembering the image editor program used

This is a follow-up question to my post of 10/22 re: image editor selection... I am able to select an image editor program using the 'edit with...' link on the library window in Captivate 5.0 and the program remembers my editor while I am in the current session... But if I close Captivate out, restart it, and open the same file again, the program forgot the editor I was using... Does Captivate remember my default editor selection only for the current session, or is it supposed to save my selection and show it the next time I open up the application?...
Thanks for your help!

If you were an Elements user you would probably be more than happy with Pixelmator. It's available on the App Store. More info at: www.pixelmator.com

Set default image for no image found

Hi Folks,
I have a folder full of images and when en images is called form that directory and not found I would like the default image to show up.
I have added an HTAccess file with this content:
ErrorDocument 404 default.jpg
And added a default.jpg image in the directory.
I have used this approach successfully on a few other sites but in this instance when I open a page with a missing photo I still get the standard ugly missing image icon. However, if I open that image in a new tab I get a page with the text 'default.jpg' on it.
NOt sure why that happens but I guess it's something about it being a different hosting set up. Perhaps there is another way to do this that will work on this set up.
Anyone got an idea how I can fix it?
Cheers
Dave

If I remember well, in the Report Attributes, you should select the linked column. At the link image, there are 2 edit images(the default is the big one), but there is one more image which is smaller.
Hope it helps.

How do you change the default image at the login screen??

I want to change my default image that is at the login screen. The image is also in the desktop display(so i can set it as my background), but those are the only two places I can find it. Is there a way I can delete the image from my computer?

Well quick and dirty is to replace the applelogo.tif file with a .tif of your own.

Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY). The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it. When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great). However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure. Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
Thanks
