How do I stop automatic placement of files as a smart object in Photoshop CS4?

I have done numerous searches on the internet to find out how to stop Photoshop from placing files as a smart object. I followed the suggestion of going to Edit > Preferences > General to uncheck the "Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Obejct" but that option does not appear in Photoshop CS4. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue in CS4?

This may sound strange, but to avoid the "Smart Object" designation, just stop "placing" the files. Either open them, or copy and paste them into Photoshop.
If you're just opening raster files in Photoshop, they come in as pixels - drag a newly opened raster file onto your target Photoshop file. If you're copy/pasting art from Illustrator, you can choose at the time whether it is a "Smart Object," or "Pixels." Sounds like you want pixels.

  • Why does psd-file from Bridge start as smart object in Photoshop?

    Anybody has a solution?
    Instead of opening the psd-file normally from bridge into photoshop the file converts to smart object.
    I used to work with CS3 where double-clicking in Bridge on a psd-file would open it in Photoshop. Now, when I double click in Bridge (CS6) it opens a "quick time pro" file, which I definitely don't want. When I use the right mouse to "place in Photoshop" it does so, but then automatically converts the file into a smart object, which I don't want either. What need I do to open a psd-file in Bridge as normal psd-file in Photoshop (and to eliminate the silly "quick time pro standard" when double-clicking in Bridge?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    I have already posted the question in Photoshop. No solution yet.

    Hi Curt Y
    sorry, it was getting somewhat late last night (I live in Switzerland) and after having spent already quite some hours on this problems I wanted to dedicate the evening to more pleasant things.
    when I go - in Photoshop - to > edit > preferences  I only get the following window. there's nowhere "file type associations" (only in Bridge preferences), and I can't navigate anywhere to > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe PS 64bit > Photoshop exe. Do you have an idea why this could be? Thanks in advance for your support.

  • In Pages 5, Maverick, How do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined

    There used to be a preference setting in Pages.  Now it seems gone in Pages 5.   So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text.  Sometimes I want it, but not always.

    The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.
    To prevent Pages from automatically detecting links, visit Edit > Substitutions > and deselect Smart Links.

  • Each time I reopen a folder the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

    Each time I reopen a folder in OS X 10.8.4 the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

    I might add that all the files are aliases. There are 40 altogether and I am aware I could create 10 sub-folders so I only have 4 aliases in each subfolder which would mean I only have to rearrange 4 aliases each time but this is still not ideal. I have been using Macs since the 1980's and up to now files have always stayed where you put them unless you selected Arrange By in the Finder View Menu.

    how do you stop automatic renewal when Adobe is wiritng in a foreign language you do not speak?

    What is "automatic renewal"?  What is "Adobe writing"?  I'm sorry, I do not understand your language either.
    If you want, you can write your question in your own language; perhaps I can understand it better.

  • Problems launching Bridge from Photoshop and opening files as smart objects in Photoshop from Lightr

    I am running Photoshop CC (up to date as of today) and Lightroom 5.2.  I  am hitting 2 major problems.  In Photoshop if I select File/Browse in Bridge I get the following message
    "Could not complete the Browse in Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in".
    However if I simply launch Bridge as an application it works ok (now I have reset the default application for all the appropriate file extentions to Photoshop CC rather than Photoshop in Bridge preferences) and opens the file in Camera Raw 8.2 in Photoshop when a Raw file is double clicked.
    The second problem is associated with opening raw files in Lightroom 5.2, editing and then trying to "photo/edit in/Open as smart object in Photoshop" .  In this case Photoshop opens with a blank screen and nothing happens  Eventually about a minute later this message appears in Lightroom 5.2
    "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched."
    Rather strange message as the first thing that happened was that Photoshop CC opened!!
    Same thing happens if try "photo/Edit in/Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC" except that having shut down photoshop I see a message from Lightroom 5.2 saying
    Lightoom was unable to prepare the selected file at ..... for editing.  It will not be opened.
    When I click the OK button on this message low and behold the tif version of the RAW file opens in Photoshop. ready for futher editing with all the Lightroom edits applied.
    Can anyone help me in sorting out this problem please
    Operating system is Windows 8 64 bit and I am running the 64 bit Adobe applications.

    Solved the problems by uninstalling Bridge and Photoshop then going into Creative Cloud App and re-installing both.

  • How do i stop automatic downloads of tv shows from other devices

    If i buy or download a tv show on another device such as apple tv or an ipad, how do i stop it from downloading automatically when i open up itunes in my IMAC?

    1down vote
    There is no way to designate one specific purchased item to not auto-download and remain in the cloud, but you can specify certain kinds of purchased items like videos, music, books, etc.
    In iTunes > Preferences > Store Preferences on your computer, make sure to uncheck "Always check for available downloads" and "Automatically download pre-orders".
    Initiate the purchase on a device other your computer. The simplest way would be to initiate the purchase on a Apple TV, as those purchases will now remain in the cloud and not auto-download to iTunes on your computer.

  • How do I stop automatic downloads of entire HD TV seasons on EVERY computer?

    When I purchase an HD TV season on my iPad, it automatically unavoidably downloads every single episode on all four of my Macs with the same iTunes account. This has resulted in multiple warnings from my ISP about my bandwidth limit.
    I have no desire to ever watch TV shows on my Macs — I watch them on the TV with the iPad plugged in with HDMI. Each TV season is something like 33 GB, and whenever I purchase one I am forced to download the entire thing exactly 5 times. That's 165 GB. Comcast has sent me multiple warning slips about this threatening to terminate service.
    How do I stop this? I just want to store my shows in the digital locker and fetch them manually on whichever device I want. I do not want automatic syncinc at all. There appear to be checkboxes in the Mac iTunes that say "Automatic Downloads" for Music, Apps, and Books — but none for TV shows and movies, which are the worst criminals here. These are all unchecked but none would apply to TV.
    I love the idea of iTunes TV shows — the quality is fantastic, the price is right, and I canceled cable ages ago. But I'm going to have to stop for bandwidth reasons if I can't address this. I've scoured Google looking for a solution and no one has come up with one. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening?

    I don't think you read my post. Automatic downloads for Music, Books, and Apps are all unchecked but there is no general Automatic Downloads option to uncheck, and none for TV or Movies.
