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.

Tif won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor

Photo tif file won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor from Adobe Bridge - but it will open into Photoshop. Seems tifs WILL open into raw editor IF they have not been edited in Adobe Photoshop. Its like working on the tif in Photoshop makes the file un-openable in raw editor. This seems to be a new problem since I upgraded from cs4 on a PC to cs5 on a Mac.

Thanks for that tip, Jeff, I appreciate it!

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

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

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

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]]

Images won't open properly after an upgrade.

I upgraded today from cs5 to cs6 and my images won't open properly only a small portion of the image is visible. How do I fix this?

What software have you upgraded?
Thanks

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!

I purchased a book from Kobo online and when I try to open it Adobe Digital Editor

I purchased a book from Kobo online and when I try to open it Adobe Digital Editor says it needs to be authorized by a Vendor ID. when I go to my ADE account it says a Vendor ID has already been created. How do I get to access my book (which I have already purchased twice!). Thanks.

Why not use the Kobo reader, Kobo app, or Kobo program as needed?

Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
To manually associate a file format with an application:
In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

How can I force pages to update images to reflect changes made in external editor?

I have added a number of (psd if that's relevant) images to a Pages '09 document (drag & drop from Finder) which have since been updated in an external editor. Pages is not reflecting these changes dynamically, even on closing and re-opening the document.
Is there a simple way to force this to occur, or am I forced to re-import the images and hence have to re-size and re-position them accordingly?
-M

Mike,
This won't happen automatically in Pages. You can save some of the work by setting your current versions of embedded images as Media Placeholders. Then when you drag new copies into those places the sizes and perhaps other features will be retained.
Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder.

Image won't open in Elements 10 from "Photo/Edit In" in LR4

I hope someone can help. I recently got a new BIG MAC, and have been loading my software.
The external editing preference to Elements 10 from Lightroom 4 will open Photoshop Elements, but will not open the image... I've reinstalled elements, reinstalled the preference, rebooted multiple times....
Please help...Thank you!

You've probably chosen the logical file instead of the correct file as your external editor:

Problem Opening Stills in External Editor

I am new to Final Cut, but I am trying to open a still in photoshop form the browser. I created a freeze frame still from the current video I am editing, and I have set the system setting for External Editor for stills to Photoshop. But when I right click on the still frame in the browser and choose "open in editor" I get a dialogue box that says "not found"." Why doesn't this work?

I created a freeze frame still from the current video I am editing
If you used the | Shift n | command to make the freeze frame, it isn't recognized as a still image in any program other then FCP. To make an actual still image file that will be recognized and usable in other programs, you have to export as a still image. Set the Timeline playhead on the frame you want, then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. In the FORMAT menu, choose "Still Image" and in the OPTIONS menu, choose the file type (JPG, TIFF, PNG, etc). Import the resulting image file into your project and the "Open in External Editor" command will work.

External edit function not opening photo in external editor

Hi folks , hope you can help , my external editor function in lightroom 4 has stopped working ie It will open the external edit space but the image does not open in that space any ideas . Your help much appreciated

You cannot use iphoto that way. PSE can't open photos from iphoto because if it were to write to your iphoto library it could easily corrupt it and cause the loss of all the images there. You should NEVER poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto.
You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Save, not save as without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits and the original, but you will need to lose the edits to revert back to the original. You will need to go to the PSE preferences>saving files and set On First Save to Save over existing to make this work. When you see the Save As window, something is wrong.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in the editor and make all the changes you want, then save your image in any format or with any name you like and import the edited photo back to iphoto as a new file. This lets you save as many versions of your photo as you like.

My Muse file won't open: "This Adobe Muse site file requires a newer version of Adobe Muse. Please update to the latest version."

My final project for this quarter in a web design class is due in less than a week. And suddenly, after months of working with this exact file, it won't open. I'm trying to open it in CC (newest version of Muse) at school. At home, I downloaded a trial version of it. I would think the trial version would be the absolute newest version..and even if it wasn't, why can't the even newer version open it? PLEASE help me. And, what do I do if my trial version has expired (I'm not home right now, so I can't check..) and I can't open it to fix it (if that's what I needed to do..)?
Note: at school we have CC, always updated. At home I have CS6, but downloaded a trial version of Muse. So, I would think the trial version would be the newest and CC not CS6. I don't know, though!
Note: is there a way to extend my trial version for, like, an hour, to retrieve this file? It would absolutely suck if I can't get it back now. I've spent a long time on this.

Could you please send me the muse file to [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If they're larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc.
so that I may check and help in getting this resolved?
