Default photo viewer

I'm using PSE 8 and I would like for it to be my default photo viewer. I always have to import my photos into PSE 8 to work with them. Is there a setting I'm just not seeing?

Seems it works the same way that on Nokia 5800xm as mentioned here ...

N8 default photo viewer and Nokia Maps

With the E52, I can view a photo (with geotag) with the default photo viewer. Select "Option/Show on Maps" and it will automatically opens up Nokia Maps showing where that photo was taken. And to navigate to that place.
With the N8 photo viewer, there isn't any such option. Is there any apps that could do that? Thanks

Photoshop Elements as Default Photo Viewer

I have successfully installed Photoshop Elements 4.0. Now I would like to make it my "default" photo viewer--i.e. when I open a photo, I would like it to be in Photo Shop rather than the previous application, which was the Microsoft Photo viewer that came pre-installed on my computer. I haven't been able to find information in the Adobe help section and FAQs on how to do this. Can anyone help me?

Most people want to know how to keep PSE from being the default viewer. :) Actually, the default viewer is a Windows function and not controlled by Elements, but it's an easy thing to change.
Find one of the image files on your hard drive of the type you want to have open automatically in Elements, e.g. all JPEG files. Right click on the image icon and go to Choose Program to Open. If Elements doesn't show on the list, there is a place at the bottom where you can view other program options. Select PSE 4.0 as the default viewer, and also make sure you choose the option to apply the change to all files of the same type. You'll have to do the same thing for each file format, like PSD, TIFF, etc.

A photo attachment I receive will not open in Irfanview - my default photo viewer.

I use Irfanview as my default image viewer. When clicking on a photo attachment, T-bird fails to open. The T-bird error console displays the following errors:

If I save the attachment to disk, it opens with Irfanview with no problem. Don

My default photo viewer and default jar opener both result in the picture of the icon getting big and then disappearing without opening a picture/program. Please Help.

Please help. I have tried redownloading java and attempted to open the jar file with Terminal. Nothing is working.

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Is it possible to open photo in the default device photo viewer application ?

Is it possible to open photo with the default
device photo viewer ?

Thanks for your quick reply. I think I have tried but I cannot.
There are no any options to let you choose "rename" in Windows 7 if you connect the iphone via USB
I have tried to rename the photo directly in iPhone Explorer but it will make the photo cannot be read in iphone and just got nothing to show on its screen until I rename it into the previos name again then the picture will show properly.
May be it can but I do not know how to rename them in Windows 7, could you please show me step by step?

JPGS are set to open in Photoshop Elements, but they open in Windows Photo Viewer instead, even when I specifically select Photoshop (and it's the default app)

Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.
Thank you.

Bug in default photo lib. application (iPad2)

Hello, today took photos of my daughter. Usually I take HD photos from a professional camera and transfer them to a default photo library to view and store for good. But I've discovered a bud when viewing photos when full zoomed out: right in the middle of the screen you may see a line from the top to the bottom, almost like the photo is split in a half and pieces overlap. Really annoying. If you zoom in and then zoom out again it disappears, but still, I qualify it as a bug. Because now it is impossible to just flip the photos to view it properly. You have to zoom in and out every time. I even made screenshots, but I guess this isn't a place to attach them. :(
See it for yourself. Try HD photos and flip them, you'll see what I'm talking about.
QUESTION: Who do I have to write to, in order for this bug to be included into next SW update?
Many thanks in advance!
Aleksey

Photo Viewer for Mac

Is there an equivalent of Windows photo viewer for the mac? I don't want to edit images in it, I just want to view in full screen and to go forward and back thought the images, with simple options to 'view at 100%' 'flip left/right', 'enlarge' etc. This is not big difficult stuff right?
I've played with iphoto and dislike it enough to delete it, you can download free apps better than iphoto. I've tried both preview and quick look but don't like them at all. If I select an image it always opens in 'preview' but the 'previous/next icons are always blacked out? Why?
If I use 'quick look' I can move forward/back using the keyboard but it never opens full screen, it always opens to the 'fit screen size' and then really irritatingly jumps about in size all over the place depending on the next image size. It's ok if I drag it to full screen, after which it acts pretty much like windows viewer except there are no options to open an image in an editing app, view at 100%, enlarge, flip left/right etc.
In short it's a poor viewer, I guess that's why it's called quick view uh? Is there some amazing mac facility that I'm missing here. I could just about live with 'quick look' if it always opened full screen but can't see any way to do this.

Preview IS the Apple version of Windows Viewer and its more powerful opening PDF, editing , JPEG, TIFF and other formats.it will even do audio !
Oh and clearly you don't get iPhoto it is a viewer light editor and photo image database. Again far more powerful than Windows Viewer.
Infact its data storage is based on industry standard Aperture.
Quick view is effectively a built in PDF/inline viewer tool within the finder than allows just about any document to be viewed irrespective of format.Probably nearest to what Windows Viewer actually does
It has no editing tools and that not its function.
To open it full screen you hold the ALT key whilst clicking the document in finder
You DO have the opton to open in a specific app at the top of a Quickview window by default it usually says Open Preview however just right click and a list of all potential applications are then listed. You then choose the one you want.
When you select an image from the finder to open in Preview that's exactly what it does- Opens that specific image. IT does NOT load the entire folder because its a separate application - NOT part of finder !
Again you need to work through iPhoto its really has more going for it than you think and no there really aren't better FREE apps out there.
Oh and why the need for full screen viewing - THAT really is a windows hang out. MAC OS is designed such that windows open to the maximum size to display content rather than a locked full screen model by default.
That said if you look in to top right of the window bars click those two divergent arrows you go full screen.
Sorry to say you really have to change your work flow else you may just have to go back to Windows .
As for alternative image viewer depends how much you want to spend and from the sounds of it nothing !

Adobe Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop Elements
Adobe Photoshop (Full)

How do I get direct into P/S cc from a picture in Bridge instead of it coming up in Windows photo viewer when I click on the picture?

On previous versions I simply clicked on a picture in BR and it came up in P/S at the moment it defaults to Windows photo viewer. I also get a version of Elements editor 12 trial showing in the "open with" table that I would like to get rid of ?

at the moment it defaults to Windows photo viewer.
In Bridge preferences file type associations you can alter the application you want Bridge to open that file type in.
I also get a version of Elements editor 12 trial showing in the "open with" table that I would like to get rid of ?
The open with shows all applications on your system, if you have not uninstalled the trial version properly you should try to do so or just ignore it.

Bridge opens JPEG files in Windows Photo Viewer not Photoshop

How do I tell Bridge to open my JPEG files in Photoshop and not Windows Photo Viewer? I see that Windows Photo Viewer is selected as the default in my preferences and I do not see Photoshop as an option. I do see COM Surrogate 6.1. I just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 yesterday and I am just noticing this issue. I never dealth with this problem with CS5. Any suggestions? Thank you all for the help.

If you deleted CS5 after installing CS6 you are one of the unfortunate that also fouled up the file associations.
The safest way to restore function is to uninstall CS6, run the Adobe script cleaner and reinstall.
There is a registry fix that I include as an option, but on vacation so can not find that references.
Some have had succes with running CCleaner, but registry cleaners can cause some problems of their own if the delete "good files".

How to deselect iPhoto as the default library viewer?

Hello everybody. I just got a Mac and I am thoroughly thrilled by iPhoto but I am already regretting setting the app as the default library viewer. I know I can find photos in the Finder by making iPhoto point me to the original file, but I just want to be able to see all my photos through finder. Under the folder names I choose. This issue is alarming also because I want to import 2000 photos from my old PC and I want them to be kept in the folders I have aready arranged. Again, I know I can view the originals (even though it's kinda weird the way they are organized in Finder now that iPhoto is the default library) and I know I can use any image I want with other applications just by dragging them. But I just wanna see the file system. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks for reading in advance

When you import a folder of photos into iPhoto an Event will be created containing those photos with the same name as the folder had. So you can keep all of your photos in the same folder grouping as you had previously. You just can't have events inside other events as you do with folders.
However, you can add folders to the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag events into them to simuiplat the folder hierarchy you had on the PC.
Since you're looking for a folde/filer management system instead of a database digital asset management system iPhoto is not the application for you. There is a DAM application that will do exactly what you want. It called Media Pro 1. It's a professional DAM application. It's what I use to manage my photos and then use iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, slideshows, etc.

All Files Try to open with Photo Viewer

I was downloading some pictures and when finished ,now all files try to open with photo viewer. (ie Word,Excel,Paint,just all files lised on the menu. If someone knows how to fix this pleas reply.

Hi ObiWanKanobe,
I recommend you check the Default Programs. Follow these steps:
1. Click Start – input “default programs”(without quotation)
2. Click Set your default programs.
3. Choose Windows Photo Viewer in the left panel, then Choose defaults for this program.
4. Make sure you don’t check other types of files, like doc and so on.
Then check if the issue persists.
Regards,
Miya

Default Photo Opener

How do I set iPhoto as my default photo opener?

Herbz
welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
How do I set iPhoto as my default photo opener?
iPhoto is not a photo viewer and can not be the default photo opener - you must import photos into iPhoto before you can operate on them there
By default it is the default camera download program - to change that you go to the iPhoto preferences and set the program you want to open when a camera is connected
To change the default program to open photos right click (control click) on a photo and use the open with command and click to always use use this program option
