Cs5 (trial) not opening files from LR3

I've looked for this on the web. Seen a lot of stuff from some time ago where the solution is to delete prefs files.. done all that. no different.
If i click 'open in Cs5' in LR3 Photoshop fires up, but the file does not open in PS. Also the menus are greyed out.
Clicking the X, top right of window to close does not work either.
Hitting an 'f' key restores the menus, and makes the close window button work.
Even if PS is already open, doing 'edit in CS5' still means the fiel does not open.
Can anyone help.

i have the question posted over there too..
Interestingly - I reinstalled CS4. files open with no issue using CS4 as external editor.
Also - files open with no issue if PS Elements is used as the External editor.
Looks like the issue is with CS5.

CS5.1 Not Opening Files from Hard Drive

I'm on a 2010 iMac with the lastest OS, and every time I try to open a RAW file from one of my external hard drives, I get an error messages that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." If go to the file through the hard drive and then drag it to Photoshop, it opens up, but if I go to File>Open> and then choose my external drive.

Photoshop CS3 lauches but does not open files from Lightroom 2.7

These programs have been on my computer since the dawn of time and have always worked. Now all of a sudden I can't open files from LR into PS. PS launches, but the files don't open. I get that message Photoshop could not be lauched, which is ironic since the program is now open.
I haven't done anything to the programs so it makes no sense. IN the past I have had issues with PS and the tech had me create a new login on my computer and it fixed things. Tried that. No help.
Does anyone ahve any suggestions. I have repaired both programs to no avail.
Thanks for you help.

Something has gone wrong with how Lightroom finds and communicates with Photoshop.
That could be a registry string, or some preference within Lightroom.
The Lightroom forum is more likely to be able to help you solve this.

DW CS5 will not open pages from local view sidebar

Using the latest DW and having a major issue. Sites are visible through manage sites; all is fine with settings. However, when I open a site to edit, if I try to click on the right side (local view) to open the html pages, DW gives me an error message - for example - "HD/user/site/xxxx.html not found" but if I open the file from the menu, it opens. I can edit but not "put" the file or add to the remote server manually. I thought one of the site's files was corrupt but then I realized it's happening for all my sites (which work fine on my laptop - also running same version of DW). Is one of the DW settings off? Should I reinstall? Has anyone encountered this issue? Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't have CS5 and I've never seen this problem before, but I would start with deleting and then re-creating the site definition.

Trouble opening files from LR3 to CS4, desaturation occurring.

I upgraded from LR2 to 3 a while ago, and recently, I've had an odd problem opening my lightly edited files into CS4. I just do command E on my mac, and they open right into CS4. When the image(s) open, they almost seem completely desaturated? I shoot a nikon D700, raw, copy the NEF files into LR3 upon import, do light edits in LR (white balance, recovery, tone curve, some adjustment brush...) and then will open selected files into CS4 for futher tweaking. Any idea why these images are doing this? If I go back into lightroom and "reset all settings" and then open, the images open fine. Help, i'm about to pull my hair out!!!
Here is a screen shot showing the image in LR (left) and then how it opens in CS4.
Thank you in advance for your help! I'm currently running version 3.6 of lightroom and 11.0.2 of CS4

Nope I am in sRGB.....
It has been very confusing because I can get an image to open normally in CS4 by resetting ALL the settings.... i wrote down the settings, re-set, made sure it opened with the correct color rendition/not desaturated (for lack of a better term.....), and then went through and "re-created" the image step by step, starting with white balance and on down, and opening it in CS4 every step, to see what was making the color render that way in CS4. I think I have narrowed it down to the Nikon V4 camera profiles... because if I set my camera profile to "d2x mode1 v2" it opens normally (with all of my other lightroom edits made...) but if i simply switch to "d2x mode 1 v4" it will desaturate upon opening in cs4.
I've also had troubles like this from time to time in the past, and thought it had something to do with the adjustment brush.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?? Is it a compatibility issue with CS4 being an older version of photoshop?

Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

This is 2nd time this has occurred. Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it. Prefer to not do that again.
System: XP Media center, SP3, 3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2. Generic - motherboard graphic card. 18 GB disk space remaining.
Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom. Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves. Done this probably a thoudand times. Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor. Also Bridge will not run a Batch. Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out. For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available. Activate/Deactivate not accessible. Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

So far, no good. Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them. No change.
2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths. I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes. But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning. Under the file tab, nothign important works. Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out. But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts. Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS. The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional. The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility. I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities. I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
Problems still exist as described.
5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
Problems still exist as described above. I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install. Ran complete Updates from within Bridge. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
Additional Notes: I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago. Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up. After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal. As do my old Nik plug ins. I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
Thank you.

Emacs auctex menus empty when not opening file from command line

I have got a problem with emacs/auctex.
In a running emacs editor, if I am opening a .tex file out of the editor, the menus "LaTeX", "Command" and "Math" are empty. That is, upon clicking on them, there is no dropdown list:
Example: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/7285/ema … ommand.jpg
If, however, I open a .tex file from the console by invoking emacs
$ emacs file.tex
the menus show up the way they should.
My .emacs
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

Me too. Same kind of problem with Dired also: the menus are empty. I've even gone so far as to reinstall a fresh Archlinux, although not just for this purpose (I just had to try the Beta Fedora 12, but it crashed all over the place. It lasted about an hour on my machine). I know that if I had any business using Emacs I should know how to fix this, but I don't have a clue. It's been happening for a couple weeks now. And just to reiterate, this is a clean install, I haven't messed with it at all, I don't even have a custom .emacs to show. I haven't looked to see if this empty menu thing happens anywhere else or not--these are just the two things I use emacs for.
I don't see a bug report for this, but I don't feel I have the qualifications to submit a good bug report, so I'm hoping someone qualified will hear our crys for help. Forgive my ignorance, this is my first time posting on here.

Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

Photoshop not opening files

Photoshop CS5 will not open files. Occasionally if i try to open a .psd file that has already been created by double clicking on it in its folder, it will open but I will hardly be able to edit it. For example, the brush tool does not work, crop tool, resizing image etc. I had this problem 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled adobe creative suite, ran the adobe cloud cleanup tool and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again. However after a week everything suddenly went back to the way it was again. Very frustrating! I might as well mention that at the same time as Photoshop "crashed" I also became unable to drag objects in Illustrator and InDesign.
I am not very good on the technical side so I just copied all my performance info below. I am working from a laptop with a mouse plugged into the usb port. Is there any other details you need to know?

Photoshop CS5 will not open

My photoshop CS5 will not open either from the desktop or from the program list. I can open Bridge but when I then try to view a photo in photoshop I get a message that says Bridge has stopped working and will have to close down.

Please read below item and provide relevant information.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/419981?tstart=0
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.

Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

Reset your Photoshop preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
Also, check your Performance preferences:
Toggle OpenGL drawing, quitting Photoshop between changes.
