Edit Menu in Photoshop no longer works.

My "Edit Menu in Photoshop" button no longer works. How do I fix this?
Encore CS6
OSX 10.8.5
Thanks.

The frustrating part is that one little button/function is so very important in my Encore workflow.
Essential. I'm not on/in the cloud, so can't experiment. I have been curious whether installation of PS CC breaks this (or not), and in your case whether the recent update could have interferred.
You seem to have had CS6 Encore going to CS6 PS even with CC installed.
Independent of those issues, the question is how do you get Encore CS6 to go to EITHER PS CS6 or CC if it is going to neither.

"Edit Menu in Photoshop" not working?

If you have installed a new version of Photoshop, you may find that the command to "Edit Menu in Photoshop" no longer works.
The fix for this is simple. Just re-associate the .PSD extension with the new version of Photoshop.
You can do this in a couple of ways (all versions of Windows).
1 - Find a folder with a .PSD file in it.
Right-click the file, and choose the "Open With" dialogue.
Select the new installation of PhotoShop, and make sure that the check-box for "Always use this programme" is ticked.
Click on Open, and from now on all PSD files should be associated with the new installation. Some systems might require a restart to lock the association in.
2 - Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Folder Options.
Click on the tab marked "File Types".
Scroll down to the PSD type, and set the "open" command to the new installation of Photoshop.
That will do it.

Andy,
I think that Jeff got the problem handled, but this is something that we will all be living with for some time - dead links to FAQ's, other articles and the like. Stanely Jones had done a good job of finding many of the "lost" articles from the previous forum changeover. Don't know if he'll be motivated to do it all over again.
I would like to think that Adobe has someone working on getting some of the old stuff back, or at least re-linked. Right now, the various search engines still have the old dead links in most of their searches. I guess that it will take the 'bots a while to catch up, if they ever do.
At least Jeff & Neil have gotten some of the FAQ's back up and working. Good job!

"Edit Menu in Photoshop" function is not working anymore due to new install of Photoshop.

I had Photoshop 7.0 installed on my system, and the "Edit Menu in Photoshop" function would bring up Photoshop 7.0, no problem.
I then installed Photoshop CS3.
When I pressed the "Edit Menu in Photoshop" button, it would still bring up the old Photoshop 7.0. Then I uninstalled Photoshop 7.0. Now, when I press the button, I get, "Could not edit in Photoshop. Photoshop does not appear to be installed."
Does anybody know where I can configure Encore (CS3), so that it will recognize Photoshop CS3? If not, what do I need to do to make this work (uninstall and install Encore?)

"Edit Menu in Photoshop" - just lost 2hrs of work

Well, I clicked the "Edit Menu in Photoshop" option in Encore CS3 and reluctantly went to work on my menu in Photoshop since Encore doesn't have the basics of menu design options.
I saved my menu constantly in Photoshop, but didn't think to save it under a different filename since I figured it would save *something* to the hard disk anyway for me to find later.
I switched back to Encore and since nothing had changed there, I closed the project and thought re-opening might show me my updated menu. I was wrong.
I just lost two hours of work. I tried to open the "recently opened" file, but no, it was some sort of temp file that doesn't exist anymore.
Anyone have an idea of how to get this back? And how am I supposed to update my Encore menu so that it shows the Photoshop modifications?
Thanks
Prizm

Prizm4,
First thing that I'd do is Open PS, then File>Open Recent. You should see the TMP Menu file in that list, as it Opened from Encore. Open it, and see what state it is in. Ideally, it should be up to date, from when you did the Save.
As Joe points out, the TMP file is created by Encore, then Opened in PS. Save (or Ctrl-s) should save this file and link it back to Encore. In CS2, I encountered some problems (as did others), where hitting Save (and/or Ctrl-s) did NOT update in Encore. Remember, this was in CS2. The workaround for me was to Save several times (sounds like you did that). I'd usually have my Layer Sets open, and Ctrl-s, close the Layer Sets and Ctrl-s. Though it was a few added keystrokes and not the perfect workflow, it always worked for me. A few times, it took a moment for Encore to finally update to the revised file.
I assumed that this was a little glitch between PS and Encore2 in CS2. It also did not happen THAT often, but enough, that the multiple Ctrl-s became a habit of mine.
I never saw anyone, who could this this malfunction 100% of the time. I also did not find any commonality between systems (either HW, or SW conflicts) to indicate that some component was causing this. I also could not find much in MY workflow to suggest why some Menus did this. Most often they were variations of Library Menu Assets. I did notice that I had more of these glitches when working from a "template" Project, that only had AV Assets changed (Save_As Projects from the original "template.) and then the Menus changed to match the new Assets. Notice that I put "template" in quotation marks so one will not confuse Template with "template" in Encore. In my case, 95% of the Menus did just what they should going to/from PS out of Encore2. There were those pesky 5%, however that things did not go, as designed.
I would have assumed that CS3 had gotten around whatever was causing this, but as it was not 100% repeatable, maybe not.
When I'd go the "normal" Save route, and it would not "take," Opening the TMP (Files>Open Recent) always got me back in PS. Multiple Ctrl-s always did the trick. Seems that 3 was the magic number, when it was not working, as it should.
If you do a Save_As, you will have to Import_As Menu into Encore and then probably want to Delete your "other" Menu.
Might want to read through: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05a3cd/0
Maybe something else will strike you as useful.
Good luck,

"Edit menu in Photoshop" opens up QuickTime picture viewer

As the subject line suggests, when I right-click a menu and select "Edit menu in Photoshop" from the pulldown, it opens up QuickTime picture viewer. Somehow, Encore or this function in Encore has gotten reassociated with QuickTime. Any idea how to get it going to Photoshop again instead? Or, any idea of a work-around to open up the menu in Photoshop manually? (Where can I access the menu psd files?)

You need to associate psd files with Photoshop.
Go to a psd file and right click on it and open with..
Set it to Always open with this program.

The editing feature of photoshop elements stopped working what is the solution

the editing feature of photoshop elements stopped working after i installed nik efex pro wacom pen.

You need to remove third party plugin and try launching. You should find it in plugins folder either here C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Plug-Ins or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins
Else try skipping the loading of thirdparty plugins like below:
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl/cmd + shift as you click Editor/Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message to skip loading of 3rd party plugins..Click yes and check.
Thanks,
Garry

"Edit in Photoshop" no longer working

The "edit in Photoshop" function had been working fine in both Premiere and Encore CS5.5. Then one day last week, using this function opened up Photoshop CS3 (I had never got around to uninstalling it after installing CS5.5). I uninstalled Photoshop CS3, and now I can't send items to Photoshop from Premiere or Encore (the message I get says that Photoshop is not installed). I tried reinstalling Photoshop CS5.5, but I received a number of error messages and the installation halted. Anyone know if there is a way to manually tell Premiere and Encore how to connect to Photoshop? Photoshop is still working fine on its own.
J. D.

Colin implied something, but I'll make it explicit:
The Edit Original and related commands rely on the association within the operating system between a file type (designated by file-name extension) and an application. All that Premiere Pro is doing is sending a request to the operating system to open the file with whatever application the operating system thinks should open that kind of file. So the fix is to tell the operating system what application to use.

OSStatus Error = -35 while trying to 'Edit menu in Photoshop' using Encore CS6

While trying to edit my Encore CS6 menu in Photoshop I keep getting 'OSStatus Error = -35'. I contacted Adobe Support via chat and it was suggested that I add Photoshop CS6 to my computer since I use Photoshop CC. I added CS6 to my computer and I am still getting the same message. I don't see an option to tell Encore to use Photoshop CS6 instead of CC.
I am using Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a full Adobe Cloud membership. Not sure what other information might be pertinent here. I would greatly appreciate any help/support I can get in regards to this issue.
I've tried to use iDVD to create my menus, purely out of frustration and found that there are issues with it as well. I see that these authoring programs are not being supported or updated any longer by Adobe or Apple. I have purchased Wondershare Video Creator Ultimate to burn my dvd's but the menu options are limited at best. My goal is to create a simple custom DVD menu that looks professional using my own graphics.

This is a Mac operating system error, and not one that we see often. It is probably a reflection of permissions issues, not what version of PS you do or do not have.
Yosemite is not supported for Encore, but neither was Mavericks. Many of the issues in Mavericks appeared to be permissions. Most Adobe apps need read/write access, and those were not the defaults for the OS.
Some Mavericks users reported the following fixes their problems - I eventually assumed that somewhere in the process, it was fixing permissions. But perhaps it does more:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6109315#6109315
And comments for these operating systems for Premiere Pro, Adobe Media Encoder, and After Effects may be helpful. (Encore does not have a support team that is active, so nothing official for it.) But there are specific bug fixes for these OSs in CC versions, so....

Edit in external editor no longer works - LR to PS

I'm using Yosemite and have Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 installed ( all up to date ). My workflow was to make most adjustments in LR then select edit in external application (which is set to Photoshop) and had it configured to create and stack a high resolution tiff for final touch ups in PS. This would also give a dialogue box asking whether to edit the original or the LR version with adjustments. This no longer works!. When i try it now it just opens the unedited raw file in PS, no tiff duplicate, no stacking, just the raw file opens with no ajustments, which is useless to me. I have tried setting the secondary application also to PS with the same tiff export settings, but this also doesn't work and again just opens the original RAW file, i don't think i'm the only one with this issue, thanks... Will

Hi Will,
Sometimes the problem like this happens when the Camera Raw version in Photoshop is missmatching to the RAW support from Lightroom.
For example: Working with Lightroom 5.6 while Photoshop is on ACR 8.7.
- http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/open-lightroom-photos-external-applications.html
* Currently there is the ACR 8.7 available on the Labs from Adobe.
If this is what you have installed there is a missmatch on the versions.
What happens if you set the Post Processing from Lightroom to Photoshop in the Export Dialog.
Like this you should be able to get the Adjustments you created displayed in the Document that opens in Photoshop
Hope this helps

Edit in Adobe Photoshop is not working

Hi,
I have this strange problem with Lightroom/Photoshop integration. It is easier to describe what is working than what is not. When I select a single JPG or PSD photo from Lightroom integration works ok. I can open the photo directly as "Edit in Adobe Photoshop" and PS opens and it opens the photo. However if I select DNG photo or try to open a photo as smart object or select multiple images and try to open them as layers in PS, then PS lauches but PS doesn't open the image(s).
If I create an additional editor and select PS there with same defaults as the default one, I can open DNG photos in PS using that. Obviously that doesn't help with open smart objects, layers, panoramas or HDR.
I am running latest version of Lightroom (3.5) and Photoshop (12.0.4) on my MacBook with OSX 10.7.2. I had the same problem last week and the restarting my computer helped. Now it doesn't... I have searched solutions for this problem and people have previously suggested for removing the preferences file (plist), I tried that with LR and PS, no help. I have reinstalled both programs, but the problem still persists.
Any suggestions?
Kari

Thanks, I saw that already. Tried both of the suggestions... Didn't help
I just tried to restore all Adobe related preferences (to ~/Library/Preferences from TimeMachine which are about two weeks old. That doesn't seem to help either.

Photoshop no longer working after Lion OSX upgrade ?

Just upgraded to Lion, and my photoshop no longer seems to be working and has a question mark through it on the icon on the dock ? Is there a fix ? or do we have to wait for Adobe / Apple to fix it...

You may need to see this from Adobe: Known Issues with Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion.

My photoshop no longer works with lion, any solutions?

my photoshop and microsoft office no longer works since i upgraded to lion, and suggestions plz?

Lion doesn't support Rosetta PPC based programs, you either need to FIRST check with your third party software before upgrading a operating system or have a easy means to revert to a earlier OS version.
You can look though my extensive post here and find various ways to go back to Snow etc.

Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

Hi there!
I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4
