What happened to "edit original" command from InDesign 5.5?

Edit original command inactive for c4d files in after effects

Hi, I created some c4d files in After Effects CC (Mac) yesterday. Today I wanted to edit the files using the "edit original" command. But it's inactive (grayed out).
I tried several times, reloaded the After Effects and Mac. But it's still not working.
Does anybody know how to fix it? Please help!

Yes, I'm sure I'm using the correct workflow by selecting the c4d in project panel and choosing Edit -> Edit Original. It's always inactive - you can see below.
Also read through the resources and checked the software - it's up to date.
My applications information:
One other strange thing that I noticed — all c4d files do not have the proper icons as I see in tutorials. The sons for some c4d files are just white pages, for others — black exec screen:
Do you know why it is so? Could you please help me to fix these issues?

Edit original command doesnt open Photoshop.

Hi
Edit original command opens PSD files in ACDsee software instead of Photoshop, how can I correct it? I think I installed ACDsee after Photoshop, is it necessary to uninstall Photoshop and install it again or there is better solution?
Thanks for any help

Rt click on the psd file in Windows Explorer, Open With..., Select Photoshop and select Always open with.
You may need to restart AE to update the file association.

InDesign v 3.0 -- Linked files & Edit Original command problems

I am running InDesign v 3.0 and Photoshop CS5 on a new Mac Pro. When I use the Links pallet, after having selected a linked image with the black arrow, and choose "Edit Original", the image file will open in Apple Preview, rather than in Photoshop CS5. How do I specify it to open in PSCS5? Also, the "Update Link" menu is always greyed out so I cannot select it. Thanks!

In the Finder, select the image type you want to open in Photoshop (TIFF, JPEG, etc.). Choose File > Info. In the Open With section, choose Photoshop CS5 from the list of applications. Click Change All.

Edit original cannot save image

Hi, have a strange problem for few days. If I edit image (PSD) in InDesign with "Edit original" command in Photoshop sometimes after editing image I get message "Could not save "C:.../......psd" because the file is already in use or was left open" when I try to save it. If I close the file in InDesign I can save the image again in PhotoShop. Happens not all of the time. I'm not working with files on server. It's just me alone...
Anybody experienced this kind of behavior?
System Win XP SP3, InDesign 6.0.3 + Photoshop 11.0.1. (CS4)

I like to understand before I act... What is psicon.dll for?

Edit Original...Smoked by PS CS4 Trial Uninstall

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or knows a fix other than re-install of CS3.
Owning CS3 Design Premium, but being a regular follower of the Photoshop U2U forum, I needed to see for myself whether Photoshop CS4 would run on my system, so logically, I installed the free trial. FWIW, with a display driver update, PS CS4 ran nicely, but regardless, I'm not in a position to purchase the suite upgrade at this time. The trial's run out, and I uninstalled it this morning. While the PS CS4 trial was active, ID CS3's Edit Original command launched or switched to it, rather than PS CS3. I didn't fuss much about that, welcoming the CS4-familiarizing exercise. But now, with it uninstalled, ID's Edit Original is disabled...doesn't even show on the context, (rt-click), menu, and Links panel button is dead.
Any thoughts on getting it back?
PS: Trashing prefs didn't work. Needless to say, I was thrilled.

When you uninstalled it removed the file associations from Windows, which is what tells ID where to send the file for editing.
Open Explorer, Click the view menu, then Folder Options > File Types tab. If the file type (extension) is still in the list, click on it, then click the Change button below to set a new program (Photoshop) to open it. Repeat for all the types you want Photoshop to open.
If the type is not in the list, click the "new" button and add it.

"Edit Original" greyed out, why?

Hi,
I've placed some PSD files within an A3 project inside of Adobe Illustrator CS3 with some clipping masks applied. Some images need some PhotoShop treatment so I would like to invoke the "Edit Original" command in order to have the desired image open up in PhotoShop for editing (like smart objects) but "Edit Original" is "greyed out" Even when the clipping mask relationship is released the command / feature is still unavailable.
Is there a reason why the "Edit Original" command is unavailable?
Input appreciated.
Cheers :)

Ahh... I didn't see the "Link" check box.
Now everything works :)
Thank you very much sir!
Kind Regards
Alex

Edit Original... but not in Paint!

I'm running InDesign CS2 on Win XP.
When I click on the Links Pallet and chose "Edit Original" and the image is an RGB .jpg, it opens by default in Microsoft Paint. How can I set it up so that these images open up in Photoshop?
Every time Paint opens up, it's like I'm running into an old girlfriend at the mall. "Oh, hey! Um.... how are you? Wow, I'd love to stay and chat but I gotta get going... it was nice to see you again, say hi to your mom!"
Then when Photoshop opens up shes like "Who was that?"
"Nobody, baby, it's just some program"

May I also offer my congratulations on your character study of Paint! Reminds of one I saw recently of comic sans...
Personally I like to have the default for opening jpegs as a lightweight photo viewer (Picasa 3 is great), when I want to edit one I just use the reveal in explorer command and do it from there. Photoshop opens as default for psds and tifs and if I do click edit original on a jpeg I am spared the embarassing encounter with Paint.

Right click on image "edit original" doesn't work

The option "edit original" when right-clicking on an image is not availiable. (Not even greyed out) It is greyed out in the edit menue. Indd CS3 (5.0.4)
WIn XP SP 3. I suspect that you might need Admin rights for this function, because it works perfectly when logged in as admin. Can anyone confirm my suspicion, or is there another solution?

I'm away from my computer today, so I'm working of the top of my head here...
Perhaps you've disabled that context menu command in the current workspace. Edit > Menus... and take a look.

"Edit Original" opens PS, but not the image

When I try to edit an image using the "edit original" or 'edit with..' command in ID, Photoshop open up with a blank screen (no error message & no photo). Or in the case of a vector file, Illustrator opens up with the message "file not found". In the links panel, the graphics show the correct path on my C drive. Same thing happens when I try to open a file from Bridge: PS opens, but not the file.
I've seen lots of posts where the wrong application opens the graphic, but none where the correct app opens without a file. any idea what's going on here?
I recently moved into a new Quad core i7 computer with a RAID-1 configuration, running Windows 7 Pro. I did a clean install of CS4 Premium, and also recently installed all the updates to CS4.
Any help or suggestions are MUCH appreciated. I usually have a couple hundred graphics to "edit original" in each of the publications I work on. Thank you!

It's 64 bit Windows. I bought the computer with Windows 7 Pro because it's supposed to be able to install/run older software that may not be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I have 9Gb of RAM.
I installed CS4 to the default directory, but Windows created a folder called "Program Files (x86)" for it, where it has installed all my older software that was either 32-bit or XP compatible.
My browser is IE v.8, and I'm still using the trial version of Norton Internet Security that came with the machine.
I've also been using the HP factory-installed Windows theme.
I should mention that I bought the computer refurbished and it didn't work when it arrived. I had to send it back to HP for a complete overhaul and reinstall of the OS. I believe they also had to replace the graphics card, which is now an NVIDIA GeForce GT 220. It's been running fine since then, just this one glitch that I've noticed so far.

Edit original, photoshop file grayed out

I am running CS5.5.
I Just started a new project. I made a title in Photoshop CS5 I imported it into my Premiere project dropped it on the time line and it works. But when I tried to Edit Original the command is grayed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dennis

I have re-phrased my response to make it NOT sound like having the suite is a requirement for the 'Edit in Adobe Photshop' option to appear.
If you have Photoshop stand-alone installed you will still get that option, in most cases. It just needs to be able to see that Photoshop has been installed. However, I've run tests where I had the suite installeld, installed a later version in addition to the newer suite version, and then upon choosing 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop', the file opend in that later standalone version of PrPro because the OS had changed the affilliation to that version upon install.
I know that there are also cases where the affilitation has been inadvertently set away from Photoshop altogether. Knowing that the user has installed the suite (or both standalone prodcuts of the same version) virtually eliminates that possibility. But in this case, the user was just not seeing the menu item.
@ welchphoto... Perfectly understable mistake. I've done that too. I'm just glad it we could solve it quickly for you.

How can I get back the "edit original" option in InDesign CS2?

I am using InDesign CS2 version 4.0 on a new windows 7 pc.
On my previous pc (windows xp) I could open an ID document, right click on an image, select "edit original" and it would open up in Photoshop for editing. Very handy.
Now that option is just not there on the drop down. The pencil in the links menu and the option under the edit menu are both greyed out.I can't find any way of accessing the option which is really important for my workflow.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Sarah

Opening the document on a different computer is a meaningless test for something like this.
The link could well be present there and not on your computer.
As for XP mode, the less I say about it the better.

Question about "Edit Edit Original", and a question about efficiency.

I have a background image that I have imported (placed) inside my Indesign document. Problem is that I can't tell how the image will look against the other Indesign layers until I actually import "place" the image. I find myself having to keep going back into photoshop to adjust the hue/saturation or use the brush tool for adjustments. I then save, and from Indesign I update the link.
Having to do this 6 or 7 times in a row until I am satisfied, seems like a huge waste of time. It just seems like it would be SO much easier and less time consuming if I could edit my image in the Indesign image. Is there a workaround?
Here is an analogy. To me it's like an artist painting, but having to run into another room to dip his brush. He rushes back to his painting only to find that he needed just a little bit more yellow added to his white...so he has to run all the way back into the paint room to dip his brush again. I'm sure there is a reason for this work method in Indesign, but I'm just a little confused with it.
Question #2: I have tried going to "Edit>Edit original" in InDesign. Problem is, that the "preview" app pops up instead of photoshop, because I like my psd's and jpgs to automatically open in preview for quick viewing purposes. I've read that the work around is to go into Bridge and change the way a program opens a certain type of image. I did this..I changed it so Photoshop and Indesign should open jpgs by default, yet still allow the osx operating system to still open them in "preview". I tried restarting Indesign to see if it was just something that required a restart to take effect. It still opens "Preview" when I go to Edit>Edit Original.

CS4 adds an edit with feature...other than that sorry, Photoshop is
where you'll need to do the editing.

Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
Turn off auto-update here:
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
They point to where the apps really are which is:
For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

Problem with 'Edit Locally' command -- Due to IISProxy?

Hi,
We have a problem with 'Edit Locally' command since we are using Windows Authentication. Our architecture is:
SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 (Solaris)
IIS Proxy (Windows 2003)
The situation is:
If we access to SAP Portal using old url (directly to Solaris) using form-based authentication we do not have any problem with 'edit locally' command.
However, if we access to SAP Portal using IISProxy and Windows Authentication we get an 'Operation failed' error message.
     Java plug-in console shows the following message:
cargar: clase com/sapportals/wcm/app/docapplet/DocApplet.class no encontrada.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sapportals.wcm.app.docapplet.DocApplet.class

     ... 10 more
Where is the problem? Is due to authentication method? SAP Portal or IISProxy configuration?
Thanks,

Thanks for your comment,
Now, we have tested with version 1.5.0_01 plugin version but the result is the same: 'Operation failed'
This is a very important topic to solve before installing Windows Authentication in a productive environment.
Has anybody any solution?
