Lightroom won't open an image in Photoshop CS2

I have Photoshop 1.1 on a PC running Windows XP. I can't open a Lightroom image in Photoshop CS2 through the "photo" menu because the menu selection to open an image in Photoshop is dimmed. Also in "Preferences" in the "external editors" tab it says "Photoshop not found." My Photoshop is on the same drive as Lightroom. Am I wrong in assuming LR should open an image in CS2?
In a related matter I opened a Photoshop customer support case about this, but did not receive a reply. Is this typical of Adobe? Isn't this the kind of question they should answer even without a paid support plan?

Richard,
What I did when faced with a similar situation was to go to Control Panel, and select Add or Remove Programs, then select Uninstall or Change for Adobe Photoshop CS2, then when prompted whether to Uninstall or Repair, choose Repair. This will fixup all the registry entries that appare to be missing from your system.
Works for me at least.

As of yesterday, when I click on an image in Bridge, it won't open the image in PhotoShop, it begins another session of PhotoShop but without an image that was requested.

I don't know what to do to fix this problem, can you help me.

Photoshop won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version.

Hello,
I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3

Good news and bad news:
The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3.

Loaded 5.7.1 now Lightroom won't open

loaded Lightroom 5.7.1 now Lightroom won't open?

I just upgraded to 5.7.1 and get the same on OS X 10.10.1. The messages is
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 cannot be opened because of a problem.
I tried deleting Lightroom and reinstalling, just the same.
I tried deleting the preference file in $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist
again crashes just the same, and Lightroom crashes before recreating the file.
Tried a reboot. No joy.

Lightroom won't render any images.

I am using Lightroom 4.1.
I have recently upgraded my graphics card and now Lightroom won't render any images!
There does not appear to be a problem with either Bridge or Photoshop CS5.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks,
Paul

More information, please.
When you say "render", exactly what do you mean? That images previews don't appear in say, the Develop module? Or that Lr isn't exporting images?
If it's the latter, what happens when you try to export?

Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

Can't Open Bridge Images in Photoshop

Upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6, Windows 7. Uninstalled CS5. Now can't open Bridge images in Photoshop.

Thanks, problem solved!
The first thing I did was check the file associations which, indicating “Photoshop”, I assumed was OK.
But then, motivated by your suggestion, I checked more carefully and found that “Photoshop” was pointing to an earlier version.
Next I “browsed” and reset the association to the Photoshop CS6 .exe file and now images in Bridge open in Photoshop just like they used to.

Lightroom won't open on my mac

I am attempting to activate Lightroom on a mac. I've used it on this computer in the past and it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the file and installed the product again. The installation went through, but Lightroom won't open. I tried deactivating the product before deleting, but there was no option. What am I missing?

What happens when you try to open Lightroom?
What is the error message?
What version of Lightroom?
What operating system?

Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application?Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application?

Lightroom won't open, says it's open in another application..

Depending on your operating system, use Windows Explorer or Finder to open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find a file with the same name as your catalog, but with the .lock extension. That file needs to be deleted, and then you will be able to start Lightroom.

CS6 won't open all images from Windows Explorer

Hi!
Today a colleague of mine encountered a strange behaviour with Photoshop CS6 64bit on a Win7-PC (also 64bit), which I could reproduce on a second machine.
Highlighting severeal jpg-images in a folder and hitting the Enter-key opens
all images in Photoshop, when Photoshop wasn't running
only some images (1 - 4 images out of 5) randomly, when Photoshop was already running
The same effect happens when I use the "Open with..."-command from Windows Explorer on the images.
Does anyone know this issue?
Regards
Dieter

Normal behavior. Windows only allows a given number of files to be handed over via DDE and that's what happens when a process is already active. When you do this with no program open, it simply blindly fires a standard command with only one file as an argument, but does so for every single file. That's why it works then. Nothing you can change. It's a limitation in Windows itself combined with the fact that only one PS process can be active....

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

Thanks for the reply.
I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

Preview won't open JPG image on a USB stick.

Preview won't open 'JPG' images downloaded from a USB stick. I get this message, "The image"IMG_0091.JPG" could not be opened" It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise.
I can see the thumbnail, but they won't open. Can I change this in some way? And, no, I can't download them again as I have erased them from the memory card, but they are saved in iphoto.

You can try deleting the .plist. Quit Preview first.

Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
You need to be.
2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
Ap2
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
Ap3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

How do I resize an image in Photoshop CS2?

Hi! I'm trying to resize an image in Photoshop Cs2 with OUT making it grainy or blurred. Please help!? I know there's some key you can hold down while dragging with the mouse but eh I forgot it! o_0 please help!

Jody...
If you have a vector version of the logo, the smartest thing is to resize it as vectors to the size you want, and
then
rasterize it.
Case in point:
I was trying to make a 16px × 16px favicon for my blogspot site, and the only way I could get the details to appear nice and clean was to create the entire thing from shape layers, transform them all in one go to fit inside a 16px × 16px box I defined using guidelines, and THEN rasterize it using the Save For Web dialogue.
