I want an add-on that opens images in whatever program I choose

You know how when you're looking at a folder in Windows Explorer, you right click on an image filetype and there's an "open with" option where you can select what program with which to open/view/edit that image?
Is there an add-on for FireFox that allows me to do the same thing?
For example, I go to http://icanhascheezburger.com I see an image I like and want to save, but I want to open it in IrfanView to edit it before I save it. So in Firefox, I right click on the image and I get the "open with" menu a if I right clicked ob the same file after saving it

One add-on that can do that is Launchy - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/launchy/
Though the description states it lets you open links and mailto's with external applications, you can also configure it so that when you right-click on an image you get the option to open the image in your chosen application. For details on setting up Launchy see http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html

Change default program that opens images?

I'm having trouble with this. Been digging through gconf all day and still no avail. I'm looking for a way to change which program opens images. Ever since I installed gimp it has been opening them instead of eog. How can I change this?

If you are using gnome, then you can right-click on a jpg and select "Open with other Application". Select eog and it should become the default after that.

How open images from other programs & convert to tiff?

I am new to digital photography. I usually take 2 to 3 MB images with my Canon Rebel XT and use iPhoto as my basic program to organize images, create albums, and do very basic editing. I'm running on a G4 Powerbook with OS10.3. I expect to upgrade to iPhoto6 soon. I also use Canon's Image Browser (because it does a better job of compression for emailing that my present iPhoto) and an abbreviated version of ArcSoft PhotoStudio which came bundled with my Canon and has editing tools similar to Adobe Photoshop Elements.
So far I usually use iPhoto's "Preferences/Open in Other" command when I want to open one or more selected images in one of the other programs. I have not found any easy way to locate an image while working in ImageBrowser or PhotoStudio, because iPhoto assigns folder numbers by date, so I'd have to know in which of many numbered folders to look. Placing images into iPhoto albums does not help because while the album names appear in these program's tree view they appear unable to link to them. Canon refuses to answer questions relating to iPhoto and referred me to ArcSoft for any questions about PhotoStudio. ArcSoft says they provide no support for programs bundled with hardware. Typical. What I'd like to know is:
1. Is there any easy way to locate iPhoto images while I'm in one of these other programs?
2. Is there any way to copy an entire album from iPhoto to one of these other programs?
3. I've attended two different digital photo classes in which instructors felt it desirable to convert jpegs to tiffs. One felt it was necessary to reduce the loss of pixels during editing, and the other does it for any image he plans to print, claiming it improves print quality. They recommended getting a special conversion program. Based on responses here to the topic: "Want to save jpeg file as tiff before making edits to photos", others feel that for most amateurs like me this is a minor issue, especially with iPhoto. Testing this I have found, as Kevin Wolfe1 says Feb 12, that compression of a jpeg appears to occur primarily on the first edit and does not sognificantly degrade the image. The programs I mention above appear able to save an edited jpeg as a tiff if desired, but I've noticed also that iPhoto's Export command includes the option to export a jpeg (to desktop or another folder) as a tiff. When I tried this, it did create a file identified as .tif, and I can drag that file back into the iPhoto Library where it remains named as a .tif, and according to iPhoto, this file contains about 5 times the MBs the original jpeg had. What I'm curious to know is, is that a true tiff file or is iPhoto kidding me?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Typical. What I'd like to know is:
1. Is there any easy way to locate iPhoto images
while I'm in one of these other programs?
In iPhoto 06 you have the option to NOT move imported image file in to the iPhoto library. So they images stay in the place where you put them. With this option the iPhoto library only contains "pointers".
2. Is there any way to copy an entire album from
iPhoto to one of these other programs?
Can't you open an album, select all the images then then use "export"
3. I've attended two different digital photo classes
in which instructors felt it desirable to convert
jpegs to tiffs.
If you are worried about this then you should be shooting RAW format. In your case the camera is doing the JPG conversion and the "damage" is unrecoverable.
iPhoto 6 and Tigeer (10.4.x) has a little bit better supportfor raw format images i yu are worried about something that makes such a small difference then you should be woried about the stuf that makes a large difference first.
You might want to concider this workflow:
1) use Canon software to download files from camera
2) use Canon software to convert to TIFF
3) Import TIFF to iPhoto (using option to NOT consolidate library
4) specify arcedit, PS or Gimp as your external editor
Others might want to lt iPhoto do the import and raw conversion but you said you wanted thr photos to be stored outside of iPhoto's library system you you can find them with out having to do an export.

Opening images in other programs

I am attempting to open images from my iphoto library in Photoshop 7. I have set the drop down menu in the general dialogue box to "opens with Photoshop". When I double click on the image, it will open the Photoshop program, but the image itself will not open.
I also changed the option in the drop down menu to "opens photo in edit window", but all I get is a black box with no image visable.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Hi steven,
Did you start having this problem with Photoshop after you did an archive and install? If so.....
Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
"Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
"This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
"Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here.
Can you view the image you are having problems with in the Finder? Navigate to the image in the finder and double click to open in Preview. Can you see it fine in Preview. If not, then the image is corrupt.

I'm looking for an add on that opens a new web page. In prior versions it looked similar to a "+" sign. It is not the "Open a new Window Button" Thank you.

The add on opens a blank new web page. For example, when on a web page, you can open a new page, with all bookmarks on the sidebar.

Firefox add-on that opens YouTube videos with a native player

Put this together today after getting fed up with YouTube's crappy player. It removes the player from any YouTube page and instead plays the video mpv. It also supports playlists if that's your sort of thing.

Hope someone else finds this useful.

Ah, I've not yet had that problem. What exactly are the youtube credentials used for?

Opening images in external programs from Lightroom

Hi all,
I have two questions.
Firstly - Can someone advise why, when I edit an image in an outside plugin ( right click on Edit In and select the program ), and then when I save the edited image in that program and go back to my Lightroom filmstrip, it is not there.
The edited image only appears when I close Lightroom down and reopen it. Then the edited image is there alongside the original. Obviously, closing down Lightroom every time I want to edit an image is not ideal.
I need to be able to open an image for external edits ( CS5 / NIK plugins ) and then see it again when I come back to Lightroom.
Any ideas ????
Secondly - this is the 3rd time I have asked this question in this forum. When I check a few hours later, my questions has disappeared, I assume moved down the line.
where do the older questions go ??? I haven't had a chance to read any answers. There is no " see older posts " button. Whats with that ????
Appreciate any help.
Dave.

Dave, looking back through this thread I don't see any mention of what OS you are on. I myself have Windows 7 so my knowledge of Mac systems is thoroughly limited, but over the years I have seen countless posts about problems that were finally tracked down to permissions settings for folders or drives in Mac machines. Normally, when you send an image to an outside editor LR temporally designates the folder from which it came as a sort of "watched folder" and automatically does the synchronization to auto-import a newly saved RGB image. If your LR can't do that (even manually), it's not clear where the fault lies; in LR or in the interface with the OS that gives LR access to the folder.

Photoshop CS4 Crashes When Opening Image - Other Adobe Programs Work

I'm at the end of my rope here.
The problem is (that has spontaneously occurred) is that Photoshop CS4 opens fine. I go to Open, select image, it loads it on screen for a few seconds ,and then I get this Photoshop has stop working and it closes out - no error codes or explanations.
I have updated.
I have reinstalled with a clean it all up program beforehand.
The Open GL drawing is disabled.
I have reset preferences.
Other Adobe programs (e.g., Premiere Pro) work fine.
Nothing particularly new or special done to computer except that I changed from AVG Antivirus to Microsoft Security Essentials.
Windows is updated (I'm Vista - 32bit).
Is the problem my driver (a NVDIA GeForce 6150 nforce 430)? It's updated to the current version, do I need to find the download for an older version and go back in time?
I have only 2GM in RAM (there's plenty of room on the hard drive btw), but I can't spend more money on this 3 yr + computer. Do I need to set my RAM preferences differently?
And I've not had this problem before, it's always worked.
To prevent me from losing my mind any further, any help would be appreciated.

If OpenGL drawing is disabled, then the video driver isn't too likely. Most of the problems in drivers show up with OpenGL drawing enabled.
But printer drivers and fonts can sometimes cause issues.
And there's always a chance that the video driver is failing at something simple (like drawing a menu or cursor).

Is there a way to open image with another phogram outside photoshop?

Hi
i have cs6 and bridge cs6 ,windows 7 64bit
is there a way to open images with another program then photoshop?
for example a script or other ways?
i'm talking about jpg,raw files for example
for example i would like to send 4 photos to ptgui or other programs
thanks

PTGui Pro should appear in your 'Open With' list bottom section, at least it shows on my system (Mac)
Be aware that PTGui can only handle jpeg, tiff and PNG and it only handles Raw files using the DCraw converter (Open source originally developed for Linux).
Only applications that support the particular file type you select appear in the Open With list.
And on a Mac I can drag and drop jpeg and tiff from Bridge to the project assistant.

CS3 Suddenly Won't Open Images

I've been using CS3 forever with few problems. All of the sudden, today it quit opening images. The program loads and opens without any problem, but I can't open any images. I have rebooted about 5 times and disconnected all plug-in equipment (ipod, printer, etc.) Can anyone tell me how to fix this??
I found a thread on this topic in the Mac forum, but it hasn't helped me. The problem there seemed to be images on a disk, but the images I'm trying to open are on my harddrive. VERY FRUSTRATING! Thanks in advance for any help!!

hit file> open. then hit ESC. then try to open again.

I have a main fillable form. From this main form the user may need additional forms. I want to create checkboxes that link to these additional forms. This part I believe I know how to do (Properties/Actions/Open a File). What I want to add is a javascript to the checkbox that when the new file (or form) opens some of the data (the repetitive data like name, date, etc.) from the main form is placed into the form opened where the same form fields exist. Is this possible?

Yes, but then it all has to be done using a script. You can't use the built-in Open A File command.

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within

Do I need to export multiple sizes for all standard print sizes? i.e.Say I crop the image in LR to 6'5" x 9' to fit within an 11" x 14" (overall) mat of a framed print.. Now let's say I want to reprint that same image in a 12" x 16" size ... to fit within a mat of with overall size of 20" x 24"? Or will the 1st export be "locked" at 6.5" X 9" (proportionately)?

So, for the first one Export it cropped to 6.5 x 9 - and in the Export Dialog box there is a capability to rename the file for exported output - which would allow you to add something like the crop or intention to the base name of the file. e.g. for _IMG0846.nef - setup the output filename to _IMG0846-65x9 for 11x14.jpg and output it at, say 300 or 360 dpi. So, it has a unique name and purpose in your output folder.
For best results, now, re-crop the picture in LR - just open the crop [R] dialog again, reframe the image to the new ratio, 12x16 and Export again - with an adjustment to the filename. e.g. _IMG0846-12x16 for 20x24.jpg
So, now you have two clearly identified image files in your output area and you can provide those to whomever is printing for you, etc. Discard them when you're done since you always have the original to return to to re-frame again as necessary.
This way you get output sharpening and resolution (in pixels) optimized for your output print size. Maybe not super important for smallish prints-but more important for larger ones. Output at 100 quality.

I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.
