Edit original for linked file

Why does Illustrator take me to Preview instead of Photoshop when I go to Edit Original for a linked Photoshop file?

This is actually controlled by the Mac OS, and easily corrected by doing a CMD I on any file, and changing the application for Open With.
In this example I have set all my .psd files to open in Photoshop CS4.
A useful keyboard shortcut for edit original: hollow arrow tool double click on a linked image on your canvas.

    I can no longer edit information for streaming files in Get Info.

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • Unable to edit metadata for some files, Bridge CS6

    I am editing metadata for .wav files, and somehow a few of them have become locked for editing. I have checked the properties for these files and still have full permissions for all users.
    As you can see in the screen capture below, the pencil icons you click to edit the metadata are gone and an error message comes up. Thanks for any help you can give!

    Wow, I just answered my own question...
    After an hour trying to figure this out, I decided to just go ahead and edit the images, but "Edit in Camera Raw" was not an option.  So, I went to Tools \ Cache \ Purge Cache for Folder "xxx"
    Problem solved.

  • Livetrace - edit original in links

    Hi, I want to use the "edit original" function inside illustrator, so my picture will open
    in photoshop, and the changes I make there will be saved in Illustrator. But when I choose edit original
    , it opens paint - how do I change this? And yes I have checked the link-box when selecting the image. I have windows 7 if
    it matters.

    finished
    just in illustrator alt+double click will open file in photoshop as a link
    The Op wrote they did not aways wan the images to open in photoshop.
    But You are close.
    before working with the file click on the icon and go to the properties as indicated before and select the photoshop as the default application to open the file in.
    But do not mark it to open all similar files leave that unchecked.
    Now the place it in Illustrator and then when you go to edit it will open in Photoshop, inconvenient yes, but the only way I know you have to remember to change the default launch app back to the original app.

  • How can I get 'Edit Original' to open file in Photoshop?

    I have a Mac running OSX 10.6.2. I have the full CS4 Suite.
    When I try clicking 'Edit Original' in Illustrator it opens the file in Apple's pdf viewer: 'Preview'. How can I change it to open in Photoshop by default?
    File is CMYK tiff - jsut in case that matters
    I've checked the PDF manual - no joy
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers
    Nick

    Thanks SeniorSSS
    It works!
    Is it me or is that a really off-the-wall solution for Apple to take?:
    If you want to change the way a programme functions, choose a completely unrelated file and use it to instruct all other files of the same type. I would never have thought of that solution in a million years. Perhaps I don't think outside the box ...
    Anyway, much appreciated all the same
    Cheers

  • Anomalies in CS5 when using edit original on Illustrator files from within InDesign

    Using the Edit Original function to open up a placed Illustrator file from an InDesign layout, we are seeing some strange things. If the image is placed on page at 100%, after editing via Edit Original it comes back in at a different size. Sometimes it is a silly size (99.999999999% or 100.000000002%), other times 2 or 3% smaller. Is anyone else seeing this - and, if so, is there a fix?

    We are also experiencing this with .psd .ai .eps .jpg files etc. etc. etc.
    Example:
    An image is placed in a box in InDesign, then resized and positioned. In a later stage the image needs editing, so the image is selected and we click on Edit Original. The image opens in either PS or ILL, we alter it (not sizewise, just color). Then we save it and the link in InDesign updates.
    BUT
    The position and the scale of the image most often CHANGES.
    CS5 is soo full of bugs, it is not even funny anymore. We are slowly moving our studio back to CS3.

  • Dataset error on MAC for linked file

    Hello all,
    I am trying to make use of Variables panel in Illustrator CS6 Mac version. I added a Path variable. Then placed an image in the document and added a variable for the link file. Created two datasets with default names. Then when I try to switch between two datasets it gives me error "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error".
    On PC it works fine on Mac why the Variable palette is not working. Am I missing anything here. If I just have Path or Text Variables it works fine.
    Please do let me know.
    Thanks all in Advance.

    Hi Laura,
    If you are using SBO 2004 you should not be using this method of loading the srf form (Loadbatch actions is for SBO 6.5). Here is code in VB .Net the load it - you can convert it (I don't have it in c#).
    Private Sub btnXMLForm67_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnXMLForm67.Click
    Dim oXMLDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument       
    Dim xmlData As String = "C:\Training2004\Code\SBOTest\VideoStore\XMLForms\AddMovie.srf"
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
            Dim creationPackage As SAPbouiCOM.FormCreationParams
            'Create the FormCreationParams object
            creationPackage = oAppObj.SBO_App.CreateObject( _
            SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_FormCreationParams)
            'Specify the parameters in the object
            creationPackage.UniqueID = "SOS_MyFormID"
            creationPackage.FormType = "60004"
            creationPackage.BorderStyle = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormBorderStyle.fbs_Fixed
            oXMLDoc.load(xmlData)
            'Just a sample for a XML string describing a form… same as used for LoadBatchActions
            creationPackage.XmlData = oXMLDoc.InnerXml
            'Add the form to the SBO application
            Try
                oForm = oAppObj.SBO_App.Forms.AddEx(creationPackage)
            Catch ex As Exception
                Exit Sub
            End Try
            'Set the form title and visibility
            oForm.Title = oForm.Title & "-2004"
            oForm.Visible = True
        End Sub

  • "Edit original" for JPEG opens Preview, not Photoshop?

    When I right-click on a JPEG in InDesign CS 5 and then select "edit original", it opens the photo in Preview. Is there a way to set the default application associated with JPEGs to Photoshop?
    Thanks

    Oh, I see. I was hoping there might be a separate function for ID because I generally like to open JPEGs quickly in Preview. I guess I'll just stick with the contextual menu and scroll to Photoshop. Not a big deal.
    Thanks!

  • Editing info for multiple files in Itunes, not working

    Ok, first off, I'm a BRAND NEW Mac user and having a few problems crossing over. Here's the deal...
    I've got an external hard drive with about 200 Gigs of music all in separate folders. I'm loading all my songs into Itunes, but keeping them copied only to my external drive...no problem.
    However, some of the songs in Itunes are showing up with no artist and/or album names because this info is not in the ID3 tags (im assuming) of the mp3s.
    When I goto "get info" and try to manually type in the artist name/album name and click "ok"...NOTHING CHANGES. They still show up in the list blank. Why aren't my edits to the files changing? How can I fix this?
    Thanks in advance for all your help everyone!

    Does it matter that this drive used to be used only on my windows machine?
    Yes it does.
    Post over here and ask about it -> http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1225
    See if it is formatted FAT32 or NTFS and include that info.

  • Naming conventions included for linked files?

    Perhaps a simple question but... if a file is only going to serve as a downloadable link (save as) do the standard naming conventions still apply? (lowercase, no spaces)  the files i am working with are dwg, pdf, zmt, jpeg, png...  my assumption is yes but thought i would ask.
    thank you in advance,

    All lowercase is nice, and easier since URLs are case-sensitive. Spaces are always best avoided. Completely. Some systems handle them, but there are no guarantees. Underscores (_) are a good alternative.

  • Logon Prompt for linked files

    We are linking to HTML pages that are not native to the portal.  When an end user clicks on the link they are asked to enter their KM id and password even though they are already logged it.  Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

    hi
    first build the trust relationship between sender and reciever if they are in different domains as well if possible SSO and also check the authentication mechanism in native site  and if any firewall is involved you need to open its port for this portal to access.hope this helps you.

  • 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.

  • Skipping the search for linked images

    Hi all
    My indesign document have 250 images. While I have moved the indesign document to different server. All the images are missing links now. While I am opening the document indesign looking for image links, this process is cosuming more time to open the document.
    I want to just skip the searching for linked file and open the file. I will relink them afterwards.
    Skipping the search for linked images while opening the indesign file is prossible?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    That preference can be changed. Edit>preferences>file linking (Windows) or InDesign>preferences>file linking (Mac)
