CS6 won't open all images from Windows Explorer

Hi!
Today a colleague of mine encountered a strange behaviour with Photoshop CS6 64bit on a Win7-PC (also 64bit), which I could reproduce on a second machine.
Highlighting severeal jpg-images in a folder and hitting the Enter-key opens
all images in Photoshop, when Photoshop wasn't running
only some images (1 - 4 images out of 5) randomly, when Photoshop was already running
The same effect happens when I use the "Open with..."-command from Windows Explorer on the images.
Does anyone know this issue?
Regards
Dieter

Normal behavior. Windows only allows a given number of files to be handed over via DDE and that's what happens when a process is already active. When you do this with no program open, it simply blindly fires a standard command with only one file as an argument, but does so for every single file. That's why it works then. Nothing you can change. It's a limitation in Windows itself combined with the fact that only one PS process can be active....

  • When trying to open tif image from Windows explorer it does not open in PSE 11.

    Windows Explorer set to open image files with PSE11, but when I double click on image in WE it launches PSE11, but I then need to click on Open tab in PSE11 to get it into work window.  PSE10 did not have this problem

    Found the problem myself.  I had Browsed to Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 "shortcut" icon instead of "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" file.  Changed to .exe file and all good.

  • I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked.  Help, please.  Thanks

    I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked.  Help, please!

    "I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop.  It looks like it went from read only to not locked.  Is this possible?"
    Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
    I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

    I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as  I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?

  • My cs4 won't open raw image from my Canon 5D II.  What is the solution?

    My CS4 opens raw images from my 40D with no problem.  However, when I try to open raw images from my new 5D II, it says it is "not the right kind of document".  Why is this?  Aren't all RAW images the same?  What is the difference between the RAW image in my 40D, and my 5D II?  Is there a solution to this?

    Please repost this in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

  • Won't download all images from my sony camera...only 6 out 0f 170, says rest of them are "unreadable j.peg format". Help!

    Help!  My Mac will not download all images from my Sony digital camera...well, it downloaded 6 out of 170, then said "unreadable j.peg format". This is the second time I have had this problem with this camera. Up to this second time, I have not had a problem with downloading. Now when I plug the camera back in in, it shows empty frames of pix  on Mac screen, but pictures are still on the camera. Any suggestions?

    See if you can use Image Capture to upload your photos to a folder on the Desktop.  Once you have them off the memory card reformat the card using the camera, take some photos and try again.

  • Can't drag & drop images from Windows Explorer into Elements 7

    Hi...
    I'm a Photoshop Elements 7 newbie... I can't drag and drop images (jpeg, tiff, Olympus RAW) from  Windows Explorer (file explorer and not IE) to Photoshop Elements like I  can in Corel Paint Shop Pro X2? It also works in Corel Painter IX.5 & ArtRage 3 (except for RAW)... My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.... I've uninstalled and re-installed Elements but to no avail. I've also tried to run Elements under various compatability modes but still no luck....
    Any ideas?
    It's driving me nuts...
    Thanks kindly
    Ken

    "I just remembered: If the Editor or Organizer are "running as administrator", then you can't drag and drop from Windows Explorer.  To see if you're running the program as administrator right click the desktop icon or Start Menu item you use to launch PS and select Properties.  On the Compatibility tab, is Run This Program As Administrator checked?  (Note that in Vista and Windows 7, running a program as administrator is different than running it in an account that's a member of the Administrator's group.)"
    I wasn't running the program as administrator so I enabled that compatibility property applied it then disabled it. It seems to work now. I thought I'd add this to flesh out the previous answer. I didn't open the program in between the enable and disable, so it is a quick process. Also, I am using windows 8.1 and had to open the file location in order to do this. Right click on the tile then choose 'open file location'

  • Very slow opening PDF files from Windows Explorer

    When I open a file from within Acrobat X Standard - whether through File>Open or the recent files list - the file opens very quickly.  When I open a PDF file from Windows Explorer, it takes 10 seconds or longer for the file to open.  Is this an Acrobat issue or a Windows/system problem?  (I don't experience the same delay when opening Word and Excel files from Windows Explorer.)

  • Multiple failed attempts to open PDF file from Windows Explorer by double clicking

    Hi,
    The configuration of my system is: Windows 7 SP1 x64, Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.
    When double clicking on PDF file or trying Open with Adobe Reader IX in context menu  in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the Adobe Reader opens only after few attempts. At each failed attempt the new AcroRd32.exe process arises. And only after few attempts the file opens! As a result, i see multiple empty AcroRd32.exe processes in Task Manager, each take about 4000 Kb of RAM and the only one file opened. I'm forced to kill those empty processes manually, because they are not killed when closing Adobe Reader window.
    I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.
    Best,
    Alexei

    Hi Alexei,
    Could you please let me know for how long have you started facing this issue.
    Open TEMP folder (Press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files in it.
    Does this happen with any specific PDF or all PDFs?
    You might try disabling Protected Mode by opening Reader and going to "Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)"
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Iphoto won't open/accept images from USB drive

    Hello. I copied a bunch of photos from another mac onto a USB drive. Then I put them on my desktop. They are all jgp files (IMG_033.jpg, for example) , but I can't open any of them. I can't open them from the desktop, I can't drag them into iphoto, and I can't do it by importing from iphoto. I also tried renaming the files and using preview (based on what someone said in another posting) and that doesn't work either. I get messages that say "Unreadable file cannot be imported" (when I try via iphoto) or "original item can't be found" (when I try from desktop or preview).
    Help?

    nasreen
    original item can't be found" (when I try from desktop or preview).
    Sounds like you didn't copy the files to the usb device, but instead made aliases to them.
    Do the icons have a little arrow on them? What size are the files?

  • Can't open IDCS5.5 from Windows Explorer

    I installed Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard on my Win XP last week. After a week of successfully running the program, I decided to uninstall older versions. Since doing that, all ID ikons are showing up unidentifiable, and when I right click to open, I get the error message that it's an unknown file association. The only successful way, I have found to open my files, is by launching ID, file and open. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    This is a known issue with uninstalling older versions AFTER installing a new one. Best way to fix it is to reinstall wahtever versions you want, in chronological order.
    There is no need tor remove old versions of ID, and a lot of good reasons for leaving them in place if you have to work with older files. .indd files are not backward compatible to older versions, and saving a legacy file and overwriting in a new version means you cannot go back without exporting through a series of Interchange Format steps, which for anything earlier than CS4 requires all versions in between to be available, and things may get lost along the way.

  • New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

    New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.  If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially.  Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time.  How do I fix this?

    If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.
