Livetrace - edit original in links

Hi, I want to use the "edit original" function inside illustrator, so my picture will open
in photoshop, and the changes I make there will be saved in Illustrator. But when I choose edit original
, it opens paint - how do I change this? And yes I have checked the link-box when selecting the image. I have windows 7 if
it matters.

finished
just in illustrator alt+double click will open file in photoshop as a link
The Op wrote they did not aways wan the images to open in photoshop.
But You are close.
before working with the file click on the icon and go to the properties as indicated before and select the photoshop as the default application to open the file in.
But do not mark it to open all similar files leave that unchecked.
Now the place it in Illustrator and then when you go to edit it will open in Photoshop, inconvenient yes, but the only way I know you have to remember to change the default launch app back to the original app.

Edit original for linked file

Why does Illustrator take me to Preview instead of Photoshop when I go to Edit Original for a linked Photoshop file?

This is actually controlled by the Mac OS, and easily corrected by doing a CMD I on any file, and changing the application for Open With.
In this example I have set all my .psd files to open in Photoshop CS4.
A useful keyboard shortcut for edit original: hollow arrow tool double click on a linked image on your canvas.

Premiere Pro, Edit Original ... How? Metadata?

Greetings!
I've been given a project that's a mess in After Effects. Think of it as a Power Point slide show, but done in After Effects. I decided to export all of the slides as MOVs and edit them in Premiere. I love the "Edit Original" feature as I can return to After Effects to make changes. However, these comps are named very complex (e.g. 0025_P32_Something something) and I'd love to rename the Clips, Files and Comps to something very simple (e.g. Something v1). I consolidated my Premier Project and renamed all of my clips so the filenames are now simplified, and the "Edit Original" still links to my After Effects project. Yay! I decided to save my After Effects project as V2 (version 2) so I can start renaming the comps and organizing both projects better. My dilemma is when I "Edit Original" it loads my V1 After Effects project instead of V2.
Where is the metadata saved in my Premiere project clips? I know there is something that says, "reference this After Effects project and comp" somewhere. I'd love to edit the metadata and reference my V2 After Effects Project.
Thoughts?

I guess that I am saying that I now think SG is possibly viable as a decent (useable) workflow instead of Resolve ( which I love BTW).
Resolve may have a tad more "power" but the workflow is a little more involved than what SG and Premiere is now offering.
I am revisting various projects and seeing what SG will handle.
Maybe you will try (ttest) with a speed remapped project and let us know what happens.
FWIW: I would probably have remmaped after cc and grade in Resolve or used a DI.

Edit original with hard link

Hi
I re install adobe with a new graphic card after problem related to extended but not in the default path .
In dreamweaver CS6 when insert a smartobject psd file and useright clcik contextual menu for select "edit original with " ( to have acces to original psd not the image use in html page ) .
Dreamweaver show me "unable to launch ... Photoshop.exe " .
I can choose browse to the the real photohsop.exe location but my choice is not save !!
1) why adobe developper use static hard link when implemented this functionnalities ?
2) is there a way to set a custom path to photoshop in the DW setting ?
3) DW is higly customizable , does this issue is documented in adobe documentation ?
4) smart object is limited if we have acces only to the whole psd view not part of it like directory or specific layer !!
5) i hope this value is not store in binary file ( dll ) but rather in text format ( file or in registry ) and thus it can be edit easely !

hi i fint it easely and i change many location value in regedit after find the default value under ( fr_FR language)

When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

Thanks Mylenium.
I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

InDesign v 3.0 -- Linked files & Edit Original command problems

I am running InDesign v 3.0 and Photoshop CS5 on a new Mac Pro. When I use the Links pallet, after having selected a linked image with the black arrow, and choose "Edit Original", the image file will open in Apple Preview, rather than in Photoshop CS5. How do I specify it to open in PSCS5? Also, the "Update Link" menu is always greyed out so I cannot select it. Thanks!

In the Finder, select the image type you want to open in Photoshop (TIFF, JPEG, etc.). Choose File > Info. In the Open With section, choose Photoshop CS5 from the list of applications. Click Change All.

Edit Original not working for PSD links

Ok, so I just recently upgraded to CS3 from CS2 and am still getting used to some of the changes that were made. For some reason, I keep having this problem:
In the links panel, you can click on a link and click "Edit Original" to open the file in whichever program it was created in, of course. This is a feature I use ALL THE TIME. Well, for some reason, my CS3 grays out the Edit Original icon on the links panel whenever I select a .psd link. Jpeg, fine. Eps, no sweat. Ai file, not a problem. But once I select a .psd file, the icon grays out. And this is for ALL linked .psd files.
Anyone had this problem or know of a possible solution? I just hope it's not something dreadfully obvious...

First thing to check: will Windows open Photoshop if you click on a file in Explorer?
Check that you have .PSD correctly associated with Photoshop in Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types

How can I get back the "edit original" option in InDesign CS2?

I am using InDesign CS2 version 4.0 on a new windows 7 pc.
On my previous pc (windows xp) I could open an ID document, right click on an image, select "edit original" and it would open up in Photoshop for editing. Very handy.
Now that option is just not there on the drop down. The pencil in the links menu and the option under the edit menu are both greyed out.I can't find any way of accessing the option which is really important for my workflow.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
Sarah

Opening the document on a different computer is a meaningless test for something like this.
The link could well be present there and not on your computer.
As for XP mode, the less I say about it the better.

Question about "Edit Edit Original", and a question about efficiency.

I have a background image that I have imported (placed) inside my Indesign document. Problem is that I can't tell how the image will look against the other Indesign layers until I actually import "place" the image. I find myself having to keep going back into photoshop to adjust the hue/saturation or use the brush tool for adjustments. I then save, and from Indesign I update the link.
Having to do this 6 or 7 times in a row until I am satisfied, seems like a huge waste of time. It just seems like it would be SO much easier and less time consuming if I could edit my image in the Indesign image. Is there a workaround?
Here is an analogy. To me it's like an artist painting, but having to run into another room to dip his brush. He rushes back to his painting only to find that he needed just a little bit more yellow added to his white...so he has to run all the way back into the paint room to dip his brush again. I'm sure there is a reason for this work method in Indesign, but I'm just a little confused with it.
Question #2: I have tried going to "Edit>Edit original" in InDesign. Problem is, that the "preview" app pops up instead of photoshop, because I like my psd's and jpgs to automatically open in preview for quick viewing purposes. I've read that the work around is to go into Bridge and change the way a program opens a certain type of image. I did this..I changed it so Photoshop and Indesign should open jpgs by default, yet still allow the osx operating system to still open them in "preview". I tried restarting Indesign to see if it was just something that required a restart to take effect. It still opens "Preview" when I go to Edit>Edit Original.

CS4 adds an edit with feature...other than that sorry, Photoshop is
where you'll need to do the editing.

InDesign CS3 bug for "Edit Original"

Hi,
I have laid out an InDesign document with lots of photos (JPG), with each frame showing the photo at a certain 'crop level' (or % scale relative to the original photo). Let's say I have a frame in which the photo is scaled at 20%. If I try to edit this ('Edit Original') in Photoshop to enhance it, after making changes and saving & closing it, I return back to InDesign. I find this photo to be entirely different scale (the one chosen by InDesign is totally random, and certainly not the original one (so in the example above it will be not 20%, it could be 38%, 48% or whatever, but not the one I had before I started editing the photo).
This is very annoying as I have to remember how the photo was set up in the frame, and fix it after finishing the editing step.
Does any one know if this is a known bug and what is the work around to this problem?
The whole reason for me to use InDesign was to be able to layout my pages perfectly and then edit only those photos that were selected. This bug is making my life miserable :-(
Thx for any help/Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
I think the "mystery" is solved. The problem occurs ONLY on the portrait photos, and because of the peculiarity of various SW programs (even though they are all from Adobe). I can now recreate the scenario at will, even for a smaller test document with 1 image.
This is what I have discovered so far. InDesign does have the dimensions from the original photo (that's why it will keep the correct settings regardless of how many times you make changes to the ID document or move/resize the rectangle 'linking' to the picture). The problem comes from the fact that photoshop changes some of the EXIF tags "logically".
EXIF tags (I am showing only the relevant ones) for the original photo are the same as the one 'exported' from Photoshop Elements 6.0. They are as follows:
Orientation : Rotate 90 CW
XResolution : 72
YResolution : 72
ResolutionUnit : inches
ExifImageWidth : 3888
ExifImageHeight : 2592
Software : Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0
Note that my actual photo is in the 'portrait' mode, so width should be 2592 (smaller) and height should be 3888 (larger) - but the orientation of "Rotate 90 CW" is read and honored by InDesign, so I did not need to 'manually' rotate it when placing the file. Now I set the scale to 10% because my rectangle was small. When exporting the photo from my album, the Software tag was attached by PE6.0 as you can see above. In my original camera based file, this tag was missing, but otherwise everything is was same.
AFTER I edited the photo in Photoshop to change its shadows/highlights, levels, etc. when I saved the photo, EXIF tags became:
Orientation : Horizontal (normal)
XResolution : 72
YResolution : 72
ResolutionUnit : inches
ExifImageWidth : 2592
ExifImageHeight : 3888
Software : Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows
So, you can see that Photoshop changed the orientation to "normal" and also adjusted the Width and Height to support that orientation (I did not notice that quickly enough:-().
What is strange is that, instead of maintaining my scale at 10%, after 'updating the modified link', InDesign changes the scale to 15% (if you do the math, the original horizontal dimension of 3888 is exactly 1.5 times the new dimension of 2592!) so it must keep the link information in some other way that it recomputes to be 15%. BTW, the X & Y values of the placed image were also multiplied by 1.5. That's how I was seeing the changed scales, as well as X, Y values after updates. The net orientation of the photo is not affected (at least for the photos from this camera), but it could as well.
I am much happier that at least I understand the problem! This of course supports all of you who were recommending to 'prep' the files before you start. I'd also add that don't just prep them with any batch tool, but do it with the tool that you are going to use to edit. BECAUSE...
This problem can occur any time I mix and match my editing software. I am going to check the behavior of LightRoom (since I have just got it, I am not as comfortable to work with it as Photoshop - and of course the styles of these 2 products are very different). I have never used the Camera Raw 4.5 (or 5 that comes with PS CS4), but will have to be careful about that too.
Regards,

Tracking Edit Original in CS4

Hi All,
How can we know if an image has been edited with 'Edit Original' option in CS4.
In previous Indesign versions (before CS4), the UIDRef of the link used to change if the image is saved after editing. In CS4 it doesn't change.
In previous version I was trapping the ActionID for Edit Original and checking the UIDRefs to see if the image is saved after editing.
Is there any method for this in CS4. Or some link attribute that can be checked to know if the image is saved or not after editing.
Regards,
Jasmine

I am developing a plugin for adobe InDesign CS4.
From my plugin, when I select a link and right click on it, I am getting "Edit Original" and "Edit with" options.
But the "Edit with" option doesn't list the applications.
I am able to edit the link using "Edit Original".
The code I mentioned is not able to get the list of applications in the appList array.
currently I am doing the below in LinkResource Handler::CanEditResource().
AppInfoList appList;
UIDRef LinkSelectedInLayout = Utils<ILinksUIUtils>()->GetSingleLinkUIDRefSelectedInLayout();
if(LinkSelectedInLayout.GetUID() != kInvalidUID)
InterfacePtr<ILink> SelectedLink(LinkSelectedInLayout,UseDefaultIID());
if(SelectedLink)
//UIDRef linkResourceRef(::GetDataBase(SelectedLink),SelectedLink->GetResource ());
Utils<ILinksUIUtils>()->GetEditOriginalEditorList(appList,SelectedLink );
//Utils<ILinkUtils>()->GetEditorList(linkResourceRef,appList,kFalse);
Any Guide will be a great help
Thanks

Edit Original... but not in Paint!

I'm running InDesign CS2 on Win XP.
When I click on the Links Pallet and chose "Edit Original" and the image is an RGB .jpg, it opens by default in Microsoft Paint. How can I set it up so that these images open up in Photoshop?
Every time Paint opens up, it's like I'm running into an old girlfriend at the mall. "Oh, hey! Um.... how are you? Wow, I'd love to stay and chat but I gotta get going... it was nice to see you again, say hi to your mom!"
Then when Photoshop opens up shes like "Who was that?"
"Nobody, baby, it's just some program"

May I also offer my congratulations on your character study of Paint! Reminds of one I saw recently of comic sans...
Personally I like to have the default for opening jpegs as a lightweight photo viewer (Picasa 3 is great), when I want to edit one I just use the reveal in explorer command and do it from there. Photoshop opens as default for psds and tifs and if I do click edit original on a jpeg I am spared the embarassing encounter with Paint.

Edit Original...Smoked by PS CS4 Trial Uninstall

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or knows a fix other than re-install of CS3.
Owning CS3 Design Premium, but being a regular follower of the Photoshop U2U forum, I needed to see for myself whether Photoshop CS4 would run on my system, so logically, I installed the free trial. FWIW, with a display driver update, PS CS4 ran nicely, but regardless, I'm not in a position to purchase the suite upgrade at this time. The trial's run out, and I uninstalled it this morning. While the PS CS4 trial was active, ID CS3's Edit Original command launched or switched to it, rather than PS CS3. I didn't fuss much about that, welcoming the CS4-familiarizing exercise. But now, with it uninstalled, ID's Edit Original is disabled...doesn't even show on the context, (rt-click), menu, and Links panel button is dead.
Any thoughts on getting it back?
PS: Trashing prefs didn't work. Needless to say, I was thrilled.

When you uninstalled it removed the file associations from Windows, which is what tells ID where to send the file for editing.
Open Explorer, Click the view menu, then Folder Options > File Types tab. If the file type (extension) is still in the list, click on it, then click the Change button below to set a new program (Photoshop) to open it. Repeat for all the types you want Photoshop to open.
If the type is not in the list, click the "new" button and add it.

System.ArgumentException when trying to edit the top link bar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when editing the top link bar in SharePoint 2013.
As the error message is very common, I recommend to check the ULS log for detailed error message for further research.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Best regards.

"Edit Original" greyed out, why?

Hi,
I've placed some PSD files within an A3 project inside of Adobe Illustrator CS3 with some clipping masks applied. Some images need some PhotoShop treatment so I would like to invoke the "Edit Original" command in order to have the desired image open up in PhotoShop for editing (like smart objects) but "Edit Original" is "greyed out" Even when the clipping mask relationship is released the command / feature is still unavailable.
Is there a reason why the "Edit Original" command is unavailable?
Input appreciated.
Cheers :)

Ahh... I didn't see the "Link" check box.
Now everything works :)
Thank you very much sir!
Kind Regards
Alex
