Image won't open in Photoshop

Situation:
Image file is on desktop.
What I'm trying to do:
Right click on image, then open in Photoshop.
Problem:
Photoshop opens, but image does not.
However:
I can go to <file>, <open>in Photoshop, then find the image via that route, and then it will open. But it will not open by right-clicking on desktop image and choosing Photoshop as the application.

Kurt,
Many thanks for the link. Probably dumping and reloading Photoshop is the answer, and that's what I had tentatively concluded. I've been working my fool tail off these last few days, so I will probably wait to the weekend to try it.
When I first read the link, I thought to myself, How could that be? How could Photoshop been installed before the O.S.? And then it occurred to me -- and I'm guessing you nailed it, Kurt -- a few months ago Apple sent a tech to the house to replace the hard drive, etc., because of ongoing problems and issues. At that point, I probably lost the plug-ins and the links and, in essence, the OS got installed/reinstalled after PS, rather than the other way around.
I will let you know. In the meantime, if you have other suggestions and/or links, please do share them.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Les

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
Turn off auto-update here:
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
They point to where the apps really are which is:
For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

Have you tried restarting the computer?

Images won't open in Adobe external editor

I can't get my images to open up in Photoshop eventhough it is set up as my external editor. When I select a picture to open with via the chosen external editor, a second version of my original is made within Aperture(with the external editor badge on it), Photoshop proceeds to open, but the image does not open in Photoshop to allow for edits.
Can someone recommend a fix?

Are you using CS2 or CS3? There might be something weird going on with the emulation if you're using CS2.
Barring that, I'd open up Aperture, set the external to nothing, quit Aperture, reopen, then reset it to PS again. Kind of a pain, but stuff like that has worked in the past for me. Also, do you have the latest version of Aperture (1.5.3)? If not, update.
You might also want to try pointing it to a different external editor – if it works on the alternate one, then it might have something to do with your Photoshop installation, which then might necessitate a reinstall.
My last (well, 2nd last to uninstalling and reinstalling Aperture) suggestion would be to repair permissions and cross my fingers.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Old folder of images won't open in Bridge

I've been finding today that all of a sudden images won't open and yet I can preview the images in my Mac finder window. It started when I tried to open an old folder of images and now I can't open any images anywhere, it's like it has got stuck on the old folder and won't budge.
I'm really desperate as now I can't do anything.
I'd really appreciate any advice people may have. I just tried purging the cache but that didn't appear to work and I think Bridge just hung so I just force quit. I have also tried restarting my Mac, but to no avail.
Thanks in advance.
Ross

Fixed it now. I held down shift, option and alt whilst clicking on the Bridge application icon in my dock. I was then able to reset everthing there. It took about 5 minutes for it to delete all the cached thumbnails and goodness knows what else, but at least now it works. technology, don't you just love it when it screws you over!

hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
Thank you.

CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS2

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT and my Photoshop CS2 software won't open these images. CR2 is listed in the Raw file format but selecting Raw doesn't open them. I have downloaded the latest Raw update. I am using windows. Can anyone help me??? Many thanks, Patricia

If you have CS2 the latest version should be ACR 3.7.
ACR 4.x is only for CS3. If you download the 3.7 ACR and install it correctly ( be sure to follow the instructions precisely!) you should be OK.

.CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I recently got CS4 Extended version of Photoshop and need to work on my RAW files, but they won't open. I can see the thumbnails in Bridge and when I try to open them Photoshop says they're "not the right type of document"...so...not sure what to do. I've done a ton of research and cannot figure out why these files are unable to open. I need help!

I've had the same problem recently and worked on the solution this morning. I havn't read the full info stream here, but can tell you what finally worked for me today.
I also have CS4, and recently bought a Canon 7D. My .CR2 files would not open, due to proprietay issues with the new camera.
I first had to buy a download of WinZip, since I wasn't able to open any download from Adobe. The WinZip was about $30. Next, I went back to Adobe/downloads/updates and used Find Product Updates menu. I found the compatable update of RAW plug in was 5.7 for our CS4 version. I clicked the link to this download, and began the process by clicking Save. I then went to the Download folder and found the file from Adobe in the WinZip folder. At this point I went back to the Adobe download site and printed out the download instructions concerning where to find the old plug in, what to do with it, and how to install the newer downloaded plug in.
After all this, I opened CS4, Bridge, located my first .CR2 file, and it worked just fine. I was also able to convert these .CR2 files, once opened, to DNG files.
Hope this helps.

Bridge CS4 won't open to Photoshop CS5 out of Camera Raw?

I use Bridge CS4 because I prefer it to bridge CS5 but when I edit images in ACR in bridge cs4 and click 'Open Image' I want it to open automatically in PS CS5 and instead it opens always into PS CS4. In preferences>file type associations, everything is set to CS5 so I don't know how to direct opening images from ACR to open in photoshop CS5 not CS4. I've had it working on a different system but I don't remember what I did to get it to work.

Uh huh...and why would you expect CS5 to open the image from Bridge CS4? You haven't stated why you are trying to use Bridge CS4, but as you've found out, that is not an optimal solution....(BTW, troubleshooting 101 dictates that you at least mention what platform and OS you are using).
