Default image opener

I'm in a little bit of crisis here. I'm on a Mac Mini (Power PC) running Tiger, and I think I've completely "screwed" myself over.
I'm not sure how I did it (it wasn't an error on the computer's fault, I can say that much), but when I went into the Finder, all of my iPhoto pictures said that they were to now open in my Gimp application. So, I started to go to Get Info and chang the files to open in iPhoto instead. I noticed after a few that most of the pictures in my iPhoto collection were .jpgs.
Like an idiot, I forgot that I don't really WANT every single .jpg file to open up in my iPhoto account. But reguardless of that, I checked the "change all" button, and now ALL of my .jpg files open in iPhoto, and before I could realize what I had just done, I did it to all of my .png files...
(I did the right thing as far as my PDF documents go, however)
What's MORE terrifying to me is that when I go into Finder and look at my iPhoto pictures, I don't see the convienient little preview of the image before I open that file.
I'm guess what I'm trying to ask is, what is the NORMAL default on Tiger for .jpgs and .pngs, and how do I get the preview of the image back in Finder? I think that it's Preview, and in that case, I assume that I could "change all" to Preview to make THAT the default (which iPhoto now is) and then go back and individually change my iPhoto pictures to open in iPhoto.
I don't want to do ANY THING more with it until I know that'll work, though.
Thank you.

Preview is the normal png application. Start with those, then select a single jpg file, set it to open in preview, close the Get Info window and see how you like the results. If that gives you the correct behavior, then select the apply to all option. AFAIK, all image files are set to open with Preview.

  • How do I change the default image opening application from Preview

    How can I change the Preview application default so that I can double click to open files in Photoshop?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Select a jpeg in the Finder and go File -> Get Info.
    In the Info window look for the Open With.. pane and select Photoshop from the Drop down.
    Click Change All.
    You'll need to repeat the process for Tiffs and other formats.

  • Burning a video to DVD that will default to opening at actual size.

    Hi. I am burning a widescreen (16:9) SD video to dvd using DVD Studio Pro 4. The video has been exported from FCP6 using compressor. The quality is fine and the aspect ratio has been retained for viewing (letterboxed) on a 4:3 CRT and also on a widescreen display. Is there any way, through encoding, that I can force the video, by default, to open at actual size on a widescreen computer display rather than full screen? I realize that the viewer can exit from fullscreen mode and select "actual size" in DVD Player, but if possible, I would like the video to begin playing at actual size without any adjustments having to be made. My concern is that some viewers will not bother to exit fullscreen mode and will view the video at a size not supported by its resolution. It's a video of a photographer's stills and at a display size larger than actual size, the sharpness of the images is compromised. Any way to get around this other than adding some text advising the viewer to watch the video at actual size or redoing the whole thing in HD?

    Not possible. There's nothing in the DVD Video specification that provides for this.
    There are settings available in the Preferences menu for Apples's DVD Player that can be set to do this, but no way to put information on a disc that will override those settings. 

  • 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.

  • Images open in camera raw 4.6, not Photoshop?

    Since I downloaded & installed camera raw 4.6 to deal with raw images from my Nikon D90 I have had the following problem with Photoshop cs4 (on XP + SP3).
    Any images I open from within bridge or Picasa or directly from windows explorer get opened in Adobe Raw 4.6. From their I have to open image to get it into photoshop. This applies to all images, jpg, gif, tiff, psd etc.
    I've looked at the file associations & made sure photoshop is selected & I've tried open with & browsed to the photoshop directory & selecting the photoshop.exe file but always they open with the adobe raw.
    How do I get this set back to default so that all regular images open in photoshop & raw images open in camera raw?
    Lastly I tried deleting thus ressetting my prefferances, no good.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Camera RAW for CS4 is 5.3

  • Why won't large images open in full screen on first click?

    I go to open an image (jpg, png) that has a byte size of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it will initially open a full screen window, and after a second or so, that full screen window will shrink to a half screen window. Now I'm required to click the max window size button in the upper right corner to expand the window to full size, right click on the image, select View Image from the drop down menu, and then finally click in the image to get it to display in its full size.
    Is there a plug-in, or a config. parameter that I can use, so that the image opens up in full screen mode from the start?

    Is this with opening an image link from a web page or with viewing images that you already have stored on the computer?

  • What exactly is the Default Image for?

    I have finished my first iPhone app and am planning to upload it soon to the app store. One of the many questions I have encountered is the Default Image, I know how to create it, just make a screenshot in Organiser, and then use the Save as Default Image option, but what is this? Is it a splashscreen? I have looked at a lot of the apps on my iPhone that I have downloaded over time but none of them seem to have anything I could recognise as a default image, usually they just open to the main screen.

    Hi Copernicium, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
    Yes, you can think of the Default image (usually Default.png) as a splash screen and you've probably been seeing that image in most of your downloaded apps without knowing it.
    The purpose of that image is to provide something other than a black screen when the app is loading. I.e. you don't bring it up with your code, the system looks for Default.png when the user touches your icon on the home page. If the file is found, the system displays that image until your app is up and running.
    You're free to use almost any image you want as the Default, but the guidelines recommend an image that transitions smoothly into your first screen, or better yet an image which is identical to the first image your code brings up. When you're unaware of the transition from the default image to the application launch, that generally means the developer has done a good job.
    The purpose of the +Save As Default Image...+ button in the Organizer is to make it easy to install your startup screen image as the Default. If your startup image is static it's easy. You just capture that screen, hit Save As Default and you're done. Note that if your screen capture includes the status bar, it will be masked by the real status bar when the Default image is displayed. So just two clicks in the organizer can produce and install a Default screen that's identical to the actual startup screen.
    If your startup image is dynamic (e.g. the "real" splash screen), but always begins with the same view, you just need to set a breakpoint in your code so you can capture that very first image.
    And yes, you'll have a better app if you add Default.png to the bundle before you upload to the Store. When last I looked, that wasn't a requirement, and there are still lots of apps that load with a black screen. But I wouldn't be surprised if Default.png is now or soon will be a requirement. It certainly helps to placate the user when your load time is anything over the absolute minimum.
    Hope that answers your questions!

  • Grab default image type

    I use grab a lot, and i mean a lot, for my blog, and for album art. When I upload pictures to my blog. They only accept jpeg and a couple other image types. Grabs default image type is .tiff. Is there any way to set the default image type to .jpeg?

    No. Grab generates tiff files. The Grab help suggests using Preview to open and convert the file types.
    There are a number of other image conversion tools out there as well.
    You might also try CMD-SHIFT-4 - this permits you to select a portion of your screen and saves it a .png file. Most modern servers understand png.

  • Default images zoom in Mountain Lion Preview - how to change

    Hi,
    I need to preview alot of images in my work. In previous system I would use Preview with zoom images to 100%. Now this option is gone in preferences. Since the images I preview are ewbsites designs, any other zoom then 100% is useless to me.
    I know that I can open an image, push Cmd+0, click on the green + dot, and then scroll up (because after zooming to 100% the image is centered on the screen). But I open images about 100 times a day - so to me that situation is Usability disaster.
    So my question is: is there a way I can set Preview default image viewing settings to:
    - pixel to pixel zoom (100%)
    - aligned to top
    - opened in window of maximum size on the screen
    I will go to church, kneel and pray for you, stranger sage...
    Cheers

    Dear wjosten,
    1) I have the same problem as Dergler: I can not set the availability status in Messages (ML, v7.0). The settings and also support documents tell that one should be able to set the status in the Menue bar, without mentioning that an active iCloud account in not sufficient.
    2) Also, the Access to "Edit status menue" (and default status messages) is only possible when the activity report tool is displayed in the lower-left corner of the Messages window. With ONLY an iCloud account active this tool is not displayed.
    You correctly tell that the activity report tool and also access to availability settings is possible when the Bonjour account is set to "Enable Bonjour instant messaging".
    HOWEVER:
    I do not want to become visible in my university network, I only want to use Messages (and iMessages on iOS) to communicate with other people that have iPads or iPhones. Are the availability settings not used over iCloud? Why then the setting "Use the same setting for all accounts"?
    Is this intended, or is it a bug??

  • Cant get iphoto to be default for opening photo cd

    Whenever i open the system preferences and try and change the actions when a picture cd is loaded to open with iphoto i get ignore and cant seem to change the option tried deleting preferences file but still get the same option wont chance from ignore. OSX 10.56 and iphoto 09

    iPhoto is not an Image Viewer and so it can’t be set as one. It can only show you images that have first been imported to the database. Preview is the default image viewer on your Mac.

  • Change default image viewer?

    How do you change the default image viewer (preview) to Adobe Photoshop?

    Click on the image and then do Command+I (Get Information). Where it says 'Open with Preview', change it in the drop-down menu to 'Photoshop' and underneath than click on the button 'Change All'. All images of that type will now open in Photoshop.

  • CS6 default image import is different than CS5

    The default image import option for CS5 was "Crop" now with CS6 it's "Bounding Box"
    Any ideas on how to change the default so I don't have to keep using the dialogue box?
    Thanks

    I just figured it out.
    I was actually replacing an image and not importing. And I was using the link button in the links window, not the Command D shortcut.
    The reason I used the term "image import" in the title of my question is that the dialogue box used when replacing an image says "Show Import Options". This is where I found the Crop option and this is the procedure that would not "stick".
    I remembered that I could use Command D also to replace an image and that since this is the Place keystroke then the window would give me the same option. I chose "Crop" in the dialogue box, successfully replaced the image, closed InDesign, opened InDesign, used the link button in the links window to replace my image and Voila! it stuck.
    So, just in case somebody else asks, to make it stick you MUST use the Command D shortcut or the Place menu item. Using the link button in the links window will not make your choice stick.
    Thanks for your help Peter, I can see now why you were pulling your hair out on this, you must have been assuming I was using the Place menu item.

  • 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?

  • Default image viewer

    how do i make fireworks my default image viewer?

    It's probably better to remove the file type association in

    (or QuickTime Pro(?)).
    Try:
    1 - start QuickTime
    2 - Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences >

    to images as
    you wish.
