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.

Edit in Photoshop option grayed out ?

Hello,
Just upgraded from Lightroom V4.4 to V5. After this upgrade I find that I can no longer select the option "Edit in Photoshop", the option is grayed out and is not selectable.
I have Photoshop CS6 currently installed and don't have plans to upgrade to Photoshop CC (out of my price range).
Anyone know if Lightroom V5 only interfaces with Photoshop CC now?
Thanks!
Bill

I suggest that you try reinstalling either Lightroom or Photoshop, or even both. I have both Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 installed on my computer and Lightroom and Photoshop work together as expected. Lightroom 5 does NOT just interface with Photoshop CC. It will interface with any version that you have installed.

"Edit in Soundbooth" is grayed out. Am I out of luck?

Is there any way at all for me to use Soundbooth to edit audio in Captivate 5? I purchased the CS4 suite with Soundbooth separately from Captivate 5 and the button in the audio edit window in Captivate to edit with Soundbooth is grayed out. Am I out of luck?

Hi there
When you right-click the audio clip in the library, isn' the generic "Edit with" an option as shown below?
Click image for larger view
You then browse to whatever editing application you like and edit.
Cheers... Rick

Why won't this button option work, I cannot get the site-wide query to highlight, please help anyone, thanks.

You need to have a defined site in order for DW to correctly work with your files...

Once defined, you will always work from the Dreamweaver Files panel to ensure the program can manage your files correctly.

File, edit, layer, etc - all grayed out. why??

I'm trying to edit some photos in Photoshop CS5, and suddenly the entire bar across the top has become grayed out. I can't do anything - what happened?

If file and edit are greyed out something went terribly wrong. As that should not happen. Has your licensed expired? If not try resetting the preferences, next uninstall then reinstall next contact Adobe support so they can check their servers and make sure your license is activated and you don't have more than two computers activated.

All options under File, Edit, Viw, etc. are grayed out. I'm on a Mac. AnyIdea what is causing this or what I can do about it?

I can not access anything under File Edit, View, etc. Everything is grayed out. The items under Help are black, but nothing happens when I click on Firefox Help.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== out of the blue.

Try to move (delete) the Firefox plist file.
See [http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060606082246983 How .plist files become corrupt and troubleshooting the results]
Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).
You can also try to repair the disk permissions: http://thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
See also [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 Troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X]
If that didn't help then try a reinstall.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
Ok, here goes:
I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
Very many Thanks in advance!
(If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.

Photoshop link grayed out in premiere pro 5.5

Using Premiere Pro CS 5.5. When I want to edit a still image i can right click adn the menu lists an option to "Edit in Photoshop". This option is grayed out. Is there a way to tell P/Pro that i have a copy of Photoshop 9.0 installed on my computer?

This would probably require to adjust the pertinet registry keys for the file format handlers and/or some config file. As Bob said, you'll get better answers on the PPro forum in any case.

Help! Can't edit tags, everything is grayed out.

Hey there.
I've recently got a new laptop and my iTunes library is located on an external hard drive. When I try to edit a single song (via "Get Info") I cannot change anything, everything is grayed out. However, it allows me to change the information when I select multiple songs (strange).
I thought it might be due to "read only" files, but they files are not "read only". It says I have full reading and writing permission, I can edit the tags through WinAmp, but why can't I edit tags through iTunes?
Not all the songs are grayed out though, the songs that I've recently ripped I can edit freely in iTunes.
I'm using the latest iTunes version 7.5 and Windows Vista.

The the music folder on the external drive was created on another computer, it is possible that Vista does not regard it as yours and has not granted write permission.
Here is some help on permissions in Vista:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/2464a180-e5dc-45d1-a2b8-3c8a 2b571e9d1033.mspx
You need to check that your account has full control rights on your music folder.
ANother possiblity although unlikely, is that your music files have somehow been made read only, you can check this by looking at the properties for a problem file.

Can't edit RAW in iPhoto - grayed out

My system recently crashed and after installing a new hard drive and reinstalling programs I find that I can no longer edit RAW pictures within iPhoto. I see both the RAW and the jpg thumbnails (I shot in both formats side by side) in iPhoto. When I click on the jpg it allows me to edit. When I click on the RAW it will not allow me to edit. I can click the Edit button but once on the crop, enhance, rotate adjust page all options are grayed out. Prior to the crash I could edit RAW in iPhoto - I want to get back to that. I can edit RAW in an external editor but want to do it in iPhoto. Using a Nikon D90. A secondary issue if you care to comment.... all thumbnails are in place when I reinstalled the program however the jpgs are only place holders. When I click on the thumbnail I get the dread exclamation mark. I have to go hunting for the file in the "Show Package Contents" command. The RAW thumbnails will allow me to explore in an external editor (see above) but I cannot edit in iPhoto. Thanks, Craig

My guess is that the two problems are related.
When I click on the thumbnail I get the dread exclamation mark.
Your Library is corrupted. That's what you need to sort out.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

PhotoShop Filters grayed out when using Aperture

I sent some photos from Aperture to PS to add some frames. Used the Texture filter and all went well for 3 photos. Then it quit working. Some of the filters are grayed out. I tried the same thing from Lightroom and it was the same. All worked fine with iPhoto. If I export the photos to another folder, desk top etc., then open them in PS, all the filters are working. But for some reason some of the filters will not work when opening a photo from Aperture to PS.
Any suggestion why some filters would quit when they worked before?
Thanks, Allie

That's because you have ACR set to 8 bit and you have Aperture set to 16 bit. (Clicking the text that looks like a web link at the bottom of the ACR window is how you change it)
You could change Aperture's external editor preferences to send 8 bit instead of 16 bit.
Or
Once in Photoshop you could change it: Image>> Mode >> 8 Bit as I think Steve was suggesting.

Edit in photoshop is greyed out

I have read all the forums and search engine finds on this question:
Edit in Photoshop selection is greyed out in lightroom cc (also have Photoshop cc 2014)
I have tried all the suggested fixes ( registry edit, re-install in all various combinations , all of them )
Still will not function properly (Edit in photoshop selection still greyed out , in fact all selections, are greyed out)
Seems this started when I recently applied the "update" to light room last week.. any way to go back to previous version ?
Has anyone at adobe have an answer to this ?
Thank you in advance...

sonsteby,
You didn't describe any problem, except for not being able to re-install. And your problem is not the same as brownwood1 had.
Your problem is probably from passing a 16-bit file to Photoshop, and most of the filters only work on 8-bit files. You can change Bit Depth in your preferences:
or you can change mode in PS on an individual basis:

CS3 - can't import jpg - files grayed out - Mac

I'm trying to complete a tutorial in Fireworks CS3 on Mac 10.5.6.
The step I'm stuck on is:
"Select File > Import and browse to the following folder on your hard disk:
local_sites/cafe_townsend/fireworks_assets/
Select banner-mockup.jpg and click Open.
An insertion pointer appears indicating where the upper-left corner of the graphic will be positioned."
None of the JPG files are selectable, they're grayed out.
Other files in that folder, TXT and PNGs are selectable.
Other JPGs that are not in the folder indicated are also selectable.
I can drag the file from Finder into the Fireworks document ok.
I've checked the Sharing & Permissions on the files and containing folders and they all have Read & Write.
I copied a JPG that was selectable for import elsewhere into the fireworks_assets folder, and it's still selectable (not grayed out).
The files were copied & pasted in an earlier tutorial step from a different folder (Macromedia Fireworks 8/Tutorial_assets).
Trying to import them from the original location also fails.
So it seems there's something specific to these JPGs causing Fireworks to not want to import them.
I can't figure out what.
The specific file I can't import is attached.

Not sure why you can't import the file, I'd suspect something is goofed up with the actual JPEG if you can import other JPEGS with no issues. However, if you can drag and drop or copy and paste the image into your Fireworks document then you're ending up with the same results the tutorial is aiming for anyway.

"Photo- Edit In" choices are grayed out

This morning Photoshop 2014 and 2015 were playing nicely together. I came back after dinner and now all choices in the "Photo->Edit In" menu section are grayed out and cannot be selected. I have performed a hard reboot without any change in this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?
TIA
Bob

Bob,
I hate to ask, but just in case....
You do have an image selected. Right?
If there is nothing selected in the grid the menu choice will be grayed out.
