How do I stop Photoshop forcing open while batch converting?

Hi all. I would really appreciate some help with this. Hopefully someone will know what is happening.
Lately, whenever I am attempting a large batch conversion through Adobe Bridge (eg resizing), I'm unable to continue on with any other work at all on my computer as Photoshop keeps forcing it's window open. In the past when doing this, I've been able to start the batch process and then continue on with other work in Internet Explorer or other program's like Word. I have no idea what has changed but now when I start a batch conversion I'm completely stuck as I cannot continue on with anything else due to Photoshop continually forcing itself open at the expense of any other window until it has finished.
This is extremely frustrating and restrictive to my work flow. Has anyone got any ideas on why this is happening or how I can override this? Is there an option somewhere where I can disable this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

In windows, right click on the file, select the program that you wish to use to open the file, and be sure to check to always open this type of file with the seleted program.

  • How do i stop photoshop from opening all the recovered photos

    i realize that i probably caused this problem but i need to fix it.... dozens and dozens of photos open and it takes forever. closing them doesn't work, they just come back the next time i open cs6.

    Beyond manually finding the files for removal, consider this:
    Photoshop is supposed to remove those backup files itself after you've successfully closed them. 
    That it's not doing so implies possibly a permissions problem, where deletions of files from within your scratch PSAutoRecover area by you are not allowed.  You'll want to look at the permissions of those folders/files and change them so that you do have access.  I'm sorry to say I do not know the specific commands, as I am not a Mac user.

  • How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

  • How do I get Photoshop to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5 for Mac 10.91.

    How do I get Photoshop CS4 to open .RWL raw files, taken on a Leica DLUX5. I have a Mac 10.91.operating system and have tried downloading and installing Camera_Raw_5_2.dmg, which has failed to do the trick.

    Thanks Pierre, I have converted the .rwl files to .dng, but CS4 says it does not recognise them. What now? Or is Mylenium correct?

    Hello, you should download the latest DNG converter: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
    I suggest to contact Leica and ask them why they do not use the DNg format on that camera, as they do on their more costly models.

  • MacAfee stops Photoshop when open directly a PSD file.

    Is MacAfee and Photoshop compatibles ?
    As MacAfee stops Photoshop when open directly a PSD file, the message is "OverFlow problem,internet acces stopped"

    With the advent of real-tiime scanning anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-anything software, we are seeing all sorts of issues with video editing, and not just with McAfee products, though more reports do seem to come in, regarding one, or another of their programs.
    While video editing involves larger files, usually, than Image editing, the issues are very similar. Many of those real-time scanning programs will "lock" files on writes, and many of them on reads, as well, while doing a complete survey of the file(s). This can cause all sorts of issues, like program time-outs in Ps, or Premiere Pro (or PrElements).
    With some, the "white-listing" that Pierre refers to can be done on certain file types, such as .PSD, .AVI, and others, that are not common carriers for evil code. Also, some will allow the white-listing of programs, which can then allow those programs to read/write to files as necessary, regardless of the file's type. It just depends on the exact anti-whatever program.
    One option is to shut such software down, during editing sessions, BUT they should NOT multi-task with the Internet, e-mails, etc., while the protections are down.
    Good luck,

  • How do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s

    how do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s?

    Basel,
    I'm not sure why these folks are having trouble understanding your request. I will dumb it down for them. Is there an option to have the iPhone only provide me with notifications when I'm not on the phone. Having my $800ish phone buzz and interrupt my phone conversation (after all primary function of this iPhone is being a phone) to let me know one of my Facebook friends has challenged me to a game of words with friends. I don't want my iPhone to not notify me at all. It can notify me after the call (again primary function) is complete. Going through menus and turning off notifications all together is absolutely silly. I wouldn't want to have to navigate through the menus and turn them off and then on an then off just to make or receive a phone call. Could you imagine answering you phone with, "hey, just wait I have to turn my notifications off so I can have this conversation." every time you wanted to talk on the phone.
    So yeah. Again not sure why they were having trouble with understanding you. I hope this helps clarify it for them.

  • How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?

    How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?  I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)

    One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
    An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys. 
    When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

    How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

    Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me.  After all, iPhoto is the application that opens.  You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
    What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

  • How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 from adding a caption to my image?

    How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 Editor from adding a caption to my image?  It is automatically adding the name of my camera (as a caption) to the file any time I make a change in the Editor.  Then I have to manually delete them.

    That's not Elements which writes the Camera model in the exif, that's your camera. It's a common complaint with Olympus.
    Solution (edited)
    Use the 'Find' menu to select the files starting with the offending caption (Olympus, for instance). Highlight all selected files and right click; select the option to add a caption; leave the caption blank and click enter; you'll be prompted if you want to delete the captions : you do.

  • How do I stop Photoshop elements 13 from crashing?

    I just installed elements 13 and it upgraded my catalog just fine.  Once I was in I started tagging pictures and then I paused.  It crashed.
    Now whenever I pause for about 30 seconds it crashes.
    I have looked at many articles and have not found anything that worked.  Can someone help me?

    To answer your question directly [ How do I stop Photoshop elements 13 from crashing? ] , the only way I can think of is to reset your preferences file.  The method in PSE13 must be the same as in 10 and 11 and it is as shown in this thread:
    <can't get pse10 to take my styles, have had pse 10 since 2011 bought pse13 and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I have do not appear in the effect section. I have checked BOTh secti>
    Read post # 3 and see if it works in PSE13.
    Good luck and post back whether or not it worked.
