CS5 - Can't "Open With" Photoshop in Bridge?

I have CS5 installed and I am my defaults for Opening is Elements 8 on my
Vista machine and "nothing" on my XP laptop.
When on either machine and I right click an image, Photoshop is NOT an option to Open With.
If I go to preferences, I can manually set the default, but this is not an acceptable solution as I need my defaults to be something different.
For example, I need the default for my Nikon RAW files to remain Nikon Capture NX2, but I want the ability to right click and select the application I want to use.
How to I add Photoshop (or any other application) to the "Open With" List?

What you see on other programs in the list (aside the default, which is defined for Bridge only) of programs which a certain filetype were openend in the OS once.
For example (close Bridge / CS) and choose Quicktime as the default program for opening TIF in XP and you will have it in the list after Bridge was started again.
I'm afraid you need to do that for every application (close Bridge, choose a different default app for opening TIF in the OS, open Bridge again, and so on) you want to have in the list for a certain filetype.
When done don't forget to change it back to the default program you want to have it opened in the OS, f.e. CS5.
No need to make an application the default program (uncheck "always use the selected program to open this kind of file") - just say once "open with" and you will find it in Bridges "open with" list

  • Open with photoshop in Bridge CC

    When I try to open a file in bridge CC with the command "open with photoshop (default)", I get the message "windows cannot find photoshop CS4, make sure you typed the name correctly and try again". Yes, I had CS4 a long time ago, before CS5 and 6. How can I get bridge to open my files in photoshop CC?

    Ok, I go to edit > preferences > file type associations. It shows me a list of file types. I suppose I have to go to canon camera raw in there. It says photoshop, so I click the little arrow there It gives me three choises: photoshop, COM surrogate 6,1 and browse. I choose browse. That brings me in my program files. There I click on adobe and than what? Do I click adobe photoshop CC and open or do I have to go further and click a folder within CC? I hope I make myself clear enough, its difficult for me in English.

  • Can't Open with Photoshop on PSD file

    If I right click on a PSD file and say open with Photoshop CS, it opens Photoshop but doesn't open the image. This also happens when I grag a graphic image to the Photoshop CS icon on the dock. If I right click and say Open with ImageReady, it works. Anyone else have this problem? Should I reinstall Photoshop? I can open Photoshop and then do a File->Open to open the image.
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    Hi, Alfredo.
    See "Image doesn't open when you double-click it or drag it to Photoshop icon (CS-CS2 on Mac OS X v10.3-10.4)."
    Good luck!

  • 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:

    Hello.  I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC.  Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing.  Any ideas why this is happening?

    Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

  • Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

    Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
    How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

    What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

  • Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

    I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014.  I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
    Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
    I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

    Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

    hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

    Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
    I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
    Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
    Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
    Thank you.

  • Open In Photoshop From Bridge?

    Previously when I would right click on a jpg file in Bridge I would get the choice to open with Photoshop.  I just installed Production Premium CS5.5 and now I find that when I right click on a jpg file in Bridge it shows Illustrator as the default to open the image and Photoshop is not listed.  Photoshop is set as the default program to open jpg images in Windows, and if I double click on a jpg file outside of Bridge it does open in Photoshop.
    I may have set a default during the installation of Production Premium but I don't remember doing it and I'm not finding a way to add Photoshop as the default.  I can still open the image in Camera RAW, but that is not the path I always want to take to Photoshop.
    Can anyone help me out with this??
    Thanks

    Hello!
    Take a look in Bridge Edit>Preferences (Ctrl+K) under "file types association" and you'll be able to fix it.

  • Can i 'open using photoshop' without creating another image in LR

    I'm working with RAW files imported into LR 3.2
    I swear that in an earlier version of LR - when I did 'open with photoshop' a corresponding Tiff file was not created in LR unless the image was saved in Photoshop.
    I'm sure it used to work along these lines...
    Open with PS, start to edit in photoshop - then decide not to continue - exit photoshop without saving. Tiff not created in LR.
    Open with PS, start to edit in photoshop - Ctrl+S in Potoshop (or save on exit, etc). Tiff was created in LR.
    anyway- that's the methodology I want.... can I have it?
    [I know that I can 'export' as a Tiff, but thats not the option I want. I only want files opened with PS, from LR, to save in LR if saved in PS]
    SS

    I never use bridge..but,
    If i browse to a folder with a raw file (I use DNG) and right click, open with CS5 - adobe CR6.3 and CS5 fire up.
    In LR i import from camera, as DNG files.
    If I use the edit with CS5 command, PSCS5 fires up but the image never shows in CS5, a corresponding Tiff is not created in LR. [This is an unresolved issue from some time ago, I've deleted preferences files etc..but cannot get transfer from LR to CS5 using 'edit with CS5']
    To overcome this i have CS5 set up as second external editor - having pointed it to where CS5 is installed]
    So. I have the DNG files in LR3.3.
    Right Click - Edit in photoshope.exe (manually pointed as discussed above)
    Dialog box 'what to edit' opens - choice of open a copy with LR adjustements is the only choice. Can selecte file size etc.
    irrespective of whether 'stack with original' is selected - a Tiff file is genrated in LR, and CS5 fires up with the Tiff file open.
    Saving in CS5 results in the file in LR being updated to match.
    As earlier - I only want a Tiff created in LR, if I decide to save the Tiff from CS5.
    thanks for help so far.

  • Projects opening with Photoshop and Not Premiere?

    When I get done with a file and try to go back to it it opens with Photoshop cs5 instead of Premiere Pro Cs5
    Here are things I have tried to do to fix it
    Right clicked it and tried to OPEN with Adobe Premeiere from the Programs menu Wouldn't work, Unclicked Always use Selected Program, But Still it didnt show up under the recommended programs...
    Ive run Sypybot and Malware Programs No viruses or anything on it
    tried System Restore It Didnt help Either
    My Problem seems to be all of My Premiere pro Files are all associated with Photoshop it wasn't like this when I first installed it.
    I went in and did a repair that didnt work either Ive been struggling with this problem for months
    I then tried several Programs that was suppose to remove association type but it still has the Photoshop icon and still opens with photoshop
    I don't want to run a clean install because It takes way to long so what can I do?

    The following should fix the problem. Note that I take no responsibility for  what this does or may do, so you're on your own. I have had no problems with  it, but that is no guarantee of anything.
    Create  a new text document (name it whatever you like), and change the  extension to .reg; this will specify it as a Windows registry file  entry. Copy and paste the following into the document:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project]
    @="Adobe Premiere Project"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\DefaultIcon]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe\",1"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell]
    @=""
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell\open]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell\open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe\" \"%1\""
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project]
    @="Adobe Premiere Project"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\DefaultIcon]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe\",1"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell]
    @=""
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell\open]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project\shell\open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe\" \"%1\""
    Save the file, and then simply double-click it. A  dialog will appear asking if you want to add this information to the  registry--click Yes if you do (which I assume is why you're asking).  This will reassign the extension to the shell command to open a .prproj  file to Premiere Pro CS5--nothing more.
    Again, I accept no responsibility for this if it melts your hard drive, calls you names, and kicks you in the shin. Registry hackery is not for the faint-of-heart, but in terms of potential for mishap, this rates about a 1.2 on a scale of 10.
    Thanks For the Info I Tried that before and It still didn't help But I finally figured it out with another program and It seemed to clear everything up

    Can't open camera raw in Bridge as broken circle is greyed out.  Why

    Not a clue.
    I have no idea what you mean by "broken circle" and no clue as to what platform you're on, Macintosh or Windows, exact version of the OS, Bridge, ACR and Photoshop, what type of machine, RAM, etc.

  • InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign, InCopy CC can

    I have CS5 to CC installed on my machine (MAC). Using indesign CS5 to create a layout then export all stories for inCopy. InCopy CS5 cannot open the indd. CC can... I can open the individual .icml files though. If I use InCopy CC, I can check in > edit > check out and save. InDesign CS5 will be able to re-open. A bit confuse now on why InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign files anymore. Event files created pre CC update. Attached are the errors I get when trying to open with InC CS5. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

    I know. That's why I don't understand. I really used CS5 to work with InCopy CS5. Even try older files that were saved prior to CC-CS6 update and I get the same error. Didn't have InCopy CS5. Install the demo version. Can it be the issue?

    If we don't need anti virus program and if the one that came with the machine is supposed to do the job then what does that say about the viruses that Mackeeper says it found? Were they not there and the program made them up? Or were they there and Apple didn't deal with them?
    Thanks for all feedback.
    They were not there and MacKeeper made them up. Delete it completely. I have seen it cripple people's Macs.
