Images not opening in Photoshop

Hopefully just a quick 'tick this box' answer will sort this one out.
When I select to "open with external editor' a TIFF is generated, Photoshop CS opens but that's all. What do I need to change for the image to actually open in Photoshop for editing? Same happens for RAW, JPEG or any other format.
Many thanks in advance.

what ed said and if the image is not opening in Photoshop
reselect Photoshop as External Editor from Aperture's Preferences
and check these articles:

  • Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Ferdinand12345,
    Cannon 7D mark II has been included in the ACR 8.7. I would advise you to wait for the 8.7 camera raw to release.
    In the meanwhile you can go to labs.adobe.com and download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert the files to DNG and then try to import.
    Thanks

    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.

  • Some images saved in Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6

    We have confirmed that some files saved from Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6. This is due to a bug in Photoshop 6, not in CS.
    These files open correctly in Photoshop 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 7 and CS on both platforms.
    The solution is to upgrade the copies of Photoshop 6 to Photoshop CS.

    Hi sig,
    I actually did try reinstally Photoshop - even reinstalled my operating system. I looked for the file "Adobe Unit Types" and see that it is indeed there in the ScriptingAdditions folder. But I still cannot open the tif files.
    I should also mention all my tif files have the .tif extension on them (in case anyone suggests that's the issue.)
    And, this problem is the same with Illustrator CS .ai files as well.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

    You're welcome!  It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
    What counts is that you are back in business.

  • Images not opening for edits in Photoshop from Lightroom all software is updated

    I am working on  a MacBook Pro and today after making basic edits in Lightroom 5.+ the images won't then open in Photoshop to edit there.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Charles

    Geoff, I am using the very latest CC version of Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop v 2014.2.2 running in 64bit mode, on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5. I used it yesterday morning and things worked fine but in the afternoon, I created a new catalog for a project I was working on. The first image everything worked as normal. I mad some basic White Balance corrections, along with contrast adjustments then take the images into Photoshop to remove the backgrounds but going to the menu item Edit in Photosho. If photoshop is down, it opens the software but the images don't transfer into Photoshop to work on. I rebooted Lightroom and Photoshop a couple of times with no effect still the same problem. I rebooted the computer twice and still no changes in the way it was responding. This morning as I begin to write this, I opened Lightroom and now even the catalog is missing along with most of the ones I have created. I did open an old one and it now works as it should so I will try to recreate the project from yesterday but it is now saying that Lightroom can't save to that Hard drive.  I will reboot the external hard drive now to see if that will solve that problem. This has happened in the past when using Photoshop when I am trying to save an image but never like this? Most of the time rebooting will solve that kind of issue so I will try that now. Just not sure what might be causing that to happen either?
    Thank you for your help,
    Charles

  • MOV, and MP3 files will not open in photoshop CS6

    I'm studying Photoshop at home using Pearson's " Class in a Book",  from Adobe. I'm now stuck in Chapter 10, editing Videos, because I cannot open two files needed to proceed with the next excercise. I'm not able to open 3 of the 9 files in Photoshop, even tried to drag, change format, etc. All the other files with formats like MP4 and JPG have no problem opening, only those with MP3 & MOV extensions. I Should note that I can open all the files directly from windows file explorer or using Bridge, through Quicktime. I need to open in Photoshop so I can do the exercises. Please can someone help me? Bellow, is the message i get when I try to move the file to Photoshop.

  • "Recovered" CR2 files will not open in Photoshop CS6

    My son recently completed the National Three Peaks Challenge. Regrettably, having taken loads of pictures, he discovered that one of the CF cards was corrupt. He and his fellow climbers have now paid a company (a considerable sum) to recover these photos and they are all showing as CR2 files. Unfortunately, neither Photoshop or any other program that he has (including Preview) will not open them. The images from the uncorrupted files are fine.
    As you can imagine, he is desperate to get these images back so if anyone has any bright ideas as to where we go from here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in anticipation.

    Thanks for your suggestion, normfb, which I passed on to my son. He has come back with the following answer -
    "Tried the DNG converter, didn't even recognise there was a file in the folder I told it to look in!
    The issue is that no programs be it Photoshop, that DNG converter, Lightroom or Preview are able to recognise that file format."
    Appreciate the idea though.
