CS4 images "edit original" now open as jpg instead of in Photoshop

CS4. InDesign 5.0.4. Just upgraded OS to Snow Leopard (10.6) Friday.
Now my images in InDesign no longer open into Photoshop but open as jpgs which means I now have do extra steps of going to Photoshop, finding the image and then opening it.
How do I get back to images opening directly in Photoshop when I click on them in InDesign and then go to edit original? Thank you

Bob, we are talking about thousands of images!!
Isn't there a step in InDesign to get back to normal like on Friday? There has to be something inside InDesign that must have changed....
And you are right.... CS3. My other computer has CS4 on it.
Thank you.

I have many thousands of songs in my itunes library. Unfortunately, most are now pointing toward .jpgs instead of the m4a files in my itunes library. Is there anyway to fix this without reimporting all the files into itunes from scratch??

OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.

How can I get 'Edit Original' to open file in Photoshop?

I have a Mac running OSX 10.6.2. I have the full CS4 Suite.
When I try clicking 'Edit Original' in Illustrator it opens the file in Apple's pdf viewer: 'Preview'. How can I change it to open in Photoshop by default?
File is CMYK tiff - jsut in case that matters
I've checked the PDF manual - no joy
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Nick

Thanks SeniorSSS
It works!
Is it me or is that a really off-the-wall solution for Apple to take?:
If you want to change the way a programme functions, choose a completely unrelated file and use it to instruct all other files of the same type. I would never have thought of that solution in a million years. Perhaps I don't think outside the box ...
Anyway, much appreciated all the same
Cheers

Right click on image "edit original" doesn't work

The option "edit original" when right-clicking on an image is not availiable. (Not even greyed out) It is greyed out in the edit menue. Indd CS3 (5.0.4)
WIn XP SP 3. I suspect that you might need Admin rights for this function, because it works perfectly when logged in as admin. Can anyone confirm my suspicion, or is there another solution?

I'm away from my computer today, so I'm working of the top of my head here...
Perhaps you've disabled that context menu command in the current workspace. Edit > Menus... and take a look.

Smart Object opening as .jpg instead of .psb

I received a file from another person – I didn't create it. It contains a Smart Object, which is indicated in the layer thumbnail. When I double-click to edit the smart object, a .jpg file opens, not a .psb. I know I can flatten it after making the changes and re-save it so the Smart Object updates in the PSD, but what I want to know is, why does this happen in the first place? Shouldn't a Smart Object always open a .psb?

If you placed a JPG file, then the smart object is a JPG file.
PSB is only used when Photoshop creates the smart object from layers, because PSB can contain everything in a Photoshop document.

Editing .AI files opening in CS5 instead of CS6

I have both CS5 and CS6 suite installed. When working in InDesign and needing to edit a .ai file they open up in Illustrator CS5 instead of Illustrator CS6. How can I change this default action?
Thanks,
Phil

Couple things. If you double click on an AI file, which version of AI opens it? If CS5 is opening it, it may or may not be the file associations.
I believe Windows uses the last version of an application associated to a file extension. If CS5 opens a file that is double-clicked on, exit. Start CS6 and manually open an AI file. Now exit AI CS6 and try double-clicking on an AI file. Does it open in CS6? If so, it is likely the whole Windows thing.
If CS6 initially opens a double-clicked file and ID is not using it for the linked AI files...then I have no idea. At least without playing a bit, which will be a while later.
Take care, Mike

Not able to see the content of opened files (.jpg or .psd) in Photoshop CS6

I recently downloaded Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6. I am not able to see the content of any of the file I open (.psd or .jpg). I do see the file has been opened as the file name appears on the open file tabs, I also see the preview of the file in the Navigator Window and list of layers in the layers window. I am relatively new to this so might be missing on some option that needs to be turned on or something.
I am using Window 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, with 8GB RAM.
Any suggesstion/help is greatly appreciated.

This is going to be the weak point:
Intel(R) HD Graphics card
While the Intel HD chip is fine for general computer work, it is weak for programs, like Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. The driver support is usually very bad, as well. If Lenovo does not have updated drivers, that work better, about the only choice that one has with a laptop is to turn OFF graphics accleration, and wait for a new driver. That will probably be very slow in coming.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Noel's link will list what you are missing.

"Edit original" for JPEG opens Preview, not Photoshop?

When I right-click on a JPEG in InDesign CS 5 and then select "edit original", it opens the photo in Preview. Is there a way to set the default application associated with JPEGs to Photoshop?
Thanks

Oh, I see. I was hoping there might be a separate function for ID because I generally like to open JPEGs quickly in Preview. I guess I'll just stick with the contextual menu and scroll to Photoshop. Not a big deal.
Thanks!

Edit original command doesnt open Photoshop.

Hi
Edit original command opens PSD files in ACDsee software instead of Photoshop, how can I correct it? I think I installed ACDsee after Photoshop, is it necessary to uninstall Photoshop and install it again or there is better solution?
Thanks for any help

Rt click on the psd file in Windows Explorer, Open With..., Select Photoshop and select Always open with.
You may need to restart AE to update the file association.

Livetrace - edit original in links

Hi, I want to use the "edit original" function inside illustrator, so my picture will open
in photoshop, and the changes I make there will be saved in Illustrator. But when I choose edit original
, it opens paint - how do I change this? And yes I have checked the link-box when selecting the image. I have windows 7 if
it matters.

its simple select file type extension for e.g you are working on jpg or tiff format if your file is tiff just select tiff click on it then right click then open with option there is chose program and then in drop down list select photoshop and remember tick mark on always use the selected program to open the kind of file
finished
just in illustrator alt+double click will open file in photoshop as a link
The Op wrote they did not aways wan the images to open in photoshop.
But You are close.
before working with the file click on the icon and go to the properties as indicated before and select the photoshop as the default application to open the file in.
But do not mark it to open all similar files leave that unchecked.
Now the place it in Illustrator and then when you go to edit it will open in Photoshop, inconvenient yes, but the only way I know you have to remember to change the default launch app back to the original app.

Question about Edit Original feature

If I place a jpg image in Illustrator, then click Edit Original, it opens the image in Windows Photo Gallery, which of course does me no good at all. I'm trying to find a setting somewhere that will open the photo in Photoshop, since I want to edit it. This seems like a no-brainer to me and should be the default, so how can I do this? I don't want to have to go through the extra step in Photoshop to open a jpg, save as a psd, etc.
I use this feature in Corel Graphics Suite all the time, and it will automatically open a jpg in Photo Paint, so that it can be edited, and I need this feature in Illustrator.
Thanks!

this works similar in windows as it does on a Mac on the Windows platform you find anywhere on your mounted hard drives a jpeg file right click and choose Properties in the properties panel there is the option to open the file in a specific application and another option to make this so for all similar files of this format.
Once you have made this change all your files of this format will open in the application you have chosen. If you choose photoshop al jpegs will open in Photoshop even from the edit original.

Edit Original not working for PSD links

Ok, so I just recently upgraded to CS3 from CS2 and am still getting used to some of the changes that were made. For some reason, I keep having this problem:
In the links panel, you can click on a link and click "Edit Original" to open the file in whichever program it was created in, of course. This is a feature I use ALL THE TIME. Well, for some reason, my CS3 grays out the Edit Original icon on the links panel whenever I select a .psd link. Jpeg, fine. Eps, no sweat. Ai file, not a problem. But once I select a .psd file, the icon grays out. And this is for ALL linked .psd files.
Anyone had this problem or know of a possible solution? I just hope it's not something dreadfully obvious...

First thing to check: will Windows open Photoshop if you click on a file in Explorer?
Check that you have .PSD correctly associated with Photoshop in Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types

Help my image library is now showing errors

I have Lightroom 5 and have just upgrade with the latest updates. Now all the unkeyworded images have an error notice on them. How do I restore them to were there were yesterday? it looks like they are now only thumbnails as they are very pixelated. There is now image metadata showing at the side of the image either.
Any suggestions please?

Hi Keith,
if I view the library in the grid there is an ! mark next to every photo that I haven't given keywords to yet but if i view them in the Loupe window it has a label above which says There was an error working with the photo. There is no metadata showing next to it. The only thing I have done in the last few days to the computer is to run updates on my operating system. Actually Lightroom isn't then only thing not working, my accounting programme won't work at all now!
I am new to lightroom so not 100% sure what I am doing, any insight would be welcome.
Thanks

"Edit Original" opens PS, but not the image

When I try to edit an image using the "edit original" or 'edit with..' command in ID, Photoshop open up with a blank screen (no error message & no photo). Or in the case of a vector file, Illustrator opens up with the message "file not found". In the links panel, the graphics show the correct path on my C drive. Same thing happens when I try to open a file from Bridge: PS opens, but not the file.
I've seen lots of posts where the wrong application opens the graphic, but none where the correct app opens without a file. any idea what's going on here?
I recently moved into a new Quad core i7 computer with a RAID-1 configuration, running Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install of CS4 Premium, and also recently installed all the updates to CS4.
Any help or suggestions are MUCH appreciated. I usually have a couple hundred graphics to "edit original" in each of the publications I work on. Thank you!

It's 64 bit Windows. I bought the computer with Windows 7 Pro because it's supposed to be able to install/run older software that may not be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I have 9Gb of RAM.
I installed CS4 to the default directory, but Windows created a folder called "Program Files (x86)" for it, where it has installed all my older software that was either 32-bit or XP compatible.
My browser is IE v.8, and I'm still using the trial version of Norton Internet Security that came with the machine.
I've also been using the HP factory-installed Windows theme.
I should mention that I bought the computer refurbished and it didn't work when it arrived. I had to send it back to HP for a complete overhaul and reinstall of the OS. I believe they also had to replace the graphics card, which is now an NVIDIA GeForce GT 220. It's been running fine since then, just this one glitch that I've noticed so far.
