Open a file in photoshop from indesign

Hello,
I been trying to open a photo from indesign to photoshop.
I loop through the selected graphic boxes  which I get the path to the images.
I can get the path easy enough but opening them in photoshop is another matter. I been reading about Bridgetalk, but can't seem to figureout how to get bridgetalk to load the images into photoshop.
using CS3
code:
if (app.documents.length != 0){
    if (app.activeWindow.activeSpread.pageItems.length != 0){
     for (i = app.selection.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
         try{ 
         if(app.selection[i].graphics.length != 0)
                      var  myGraphic =   app.selection[i].graphics.item(0) ;              
                      var myLink = myGraphic.itemLink;
                      var myLinkName = myLink.name;
                      var myLinkFile = File(myLink.filePath);
                      var bt = new BridgeTalk.launch("photoshop");
                   } //end if                
    catch(err)
    } //end for loop
    }//end first if
    else {
        alert("The active spread does not contain any page items.");
}// end second if
else{
    alert("No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.");

You can find an example of how to do this here.

  • Missing photos when opening multiple files into Photoshop from LR3.2

    When I try to open multiple files (8+ maybe) from Lightroom 3.2 to edit in Photoshop CS5, almost always one or two photos does not open. This means I have to manually find out which photos are missing, and then reopen them.
    Can anyone help me with this problem??

    I have opened as many as 50 from external hard drive with LR 3.2 and Windows XP with no problem.
    It takes a long time to bring in this many if they are 100MB tiffs.  I had to go have coffee and come back later.
    Are you sure you waited until it was finished?

  • After upgrading to CC, I can't open a file in photoshop from LR5 interface.

    Pre CC I could 'edit in' from LR5, but now, when I attempt to 'Edit in -> Photoshop CC' nothing comes across to Photoshop CC.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, I need -
    OS 9's Finder uses File Type and Creator codes embedded in files to determine how the file should be handled - what program to use to open it, and how that program should process the file.
    OSX uses filename extensions rather than File Type and Creator codes.
    As a result, it is not uncommon for a file created in an OSX environment to be displayed as a generic unknown-type document when the machine is booted to OS 9; and for Finder to not know how to handle it when it is double-clicked.
    If you know that a certain program in OS 9 should be able to open a file, try dropping that file onto the icon for that program (or on an alias to that program) - some programs are capable of trying to open a file done that way; others won't even try.
    In most cases, a file created by an OSX app will not be openable by an OS 9 app - this is understandable, given that newer programs often use more advanced formats than older ones, even versions of the same program.
    If you know that you will be transporting a file from OSX to OS 9, try saving it in a form accessible by OS 9 - many programs will offer a list of alternate file formats when you do a Save As of the file, or (in some cases) an Export of it.
    Question: does the Internet connection (Internet Explorer vs. Safari play any role ?)
    It certainly can. If Safari saves a file in a proprietary format, then IE will probably not be able to open it. However, a file saved in plain html should be openable by most any browser.
    You might experiment with the settings in OS 9's File Exchange control panel, particularly the ones listed under PC Exchange. Adjusting some of these, or creating new linkages, may allow OS 9 to handle files which are openable by your OS 9 programs, but which are not identifiable by Finder.

  • Opening multiple files in Photoshop from the finder fails

    I used to be able to select a group of files in the finder then drag and drop them over the Photoshop icon in the dock and they would ALL open in Photoshop. Even if there were hundreds of them, they would ALL open.
    Now using CS4 and Mac Snow Leopard only one or two of the files will open with each drag and drop.
    It does not seem to have anything to do with the size of the files. Ten tiny images when opened this way (or command click "open in Photoshop") refuse to all open at once. I have to keep dragging them over the icon to get all of them open.
    It sounds like a small problem but its a real bind. Is there anything I can change in the settings so that ALL the files I ask it to open will actually open?
    I have plenty of ram and a pair of huge hard disks on a Mac Pro so I don't think the hardware is a problem.
    Thanks!
    C

    I believe that it's a bug with Snow Leopard and Photoshop - no more dragging and dropping into the app.   I wish I could find the link where I read it.  Hopefully someone else will be able to provide you with more info.
    Edit: found this, though it doesn't seem quite the same problems as you are experiencing: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51230.html

    You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 won't open blank files or copy from clipboard

    PE9 for Macwon't open blank files or "copy from clipboard."  I get error messages that say, "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe color engine," when I try to create a new blank file, and "Could not place because of a program error" when trying to "copy from clipboard."  I tried reinstalling the software, but that didn't help.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • Can't open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...??

    I'm seeing lots of threads with this problem but none of them seem to have an answer.
    For some reason right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it just crashes.  I end up with a neverending "hour glass".
    I had all of my website project directories on a network share.  As I'm no longer sharing all of these files with an office of people I decided to move all of these project files back to my own local machine.  Ever since I've done that I can't open PNG files in Photoshop anymore.
    Any information on what could have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I was able to edit PNG files just fine up until today, and the only thing I've done is move the files from the network share to my local hard drive.
    Any PNG, large or small won't work right now.  All of the other threads I see where people are talking about this say it's happening with their GIF files, too.  I just tried one here and the same thing happened.  From within Photoshop I did File -> Open, browsed to my image directory and the moment I clicked on one of the GIF files it locked up.
    So yeah, I'm certain it's isolated to my machine right now.  I just have no idea at all what could possibly be causing this.  The other threads are mentioning netework shares, too, but usually still trying to open over the network.  In my case it was working fine when I did it over the network, but now that I'm opening local files it's failing.

  • How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

    Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

    I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
    Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
    The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

    Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
    You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
    See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube

  • Unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop.

    As from today,I am getting an unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop. I have made nothing more than as crop on the image. Why?

    Ernie, I misread your post indeed. I never saw a option to send RAW files to an external editor. All I can see is the option to chose what editor and then specify if PSD or TIFF is used. I always use PSD, usually 16bit and in one other installation in 8bit (due to RAM restrictions there).
    So Aperture creates the PSD version and PS edits that very version and saves it back into aperture. This is where I sometimes () get that "unsupported image" problem.
    I think this also is what Mike does: select a RAW master, use an external editor -> Aperture creates a PSD or TIFF. I haven't tried the TIFF option , though.
    My main point was: it all worked for a very long time and with the latest updates it is broken.
    have a good day.

  • Actions Possible Without Opening Raw File in Photoshop?

    Is it possible to record certain actions on a raw file without opening the file in Photoshop?
    Let's assume I have 250 files, all needing lens correction (and maybe other common tweaks) as a basic first step.  I'd like to be able to record an action that (1) opens my NEF file in ACR; (2) makes the lens correction based on the profile for the particular lens I used; (3) [other tweak--say noise reduction]; (4) [other tweak--say color temperature]; and then (5) closes the file generating nothing but the .xmp file.
    Then when I go to work on each file, all my basic corrections have been made so that when I reopen later in ACR, I only have to make custom changes before finally opening in Photoshop.
    I've tried a few things, scanned the forums, checked the online help center, gone through a few Adobe TV tutorials, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    Any help?
    I'm in CS6.
    I just realized that this question probably belongs here rather than the ACR discussion.  I apologize for cross posting.

    No...an Action is something that records something in Photoshop. Yes, an Action can record ACR settings....but you need to actually end up opening the image in Photoshop and it will render the file.
    What you really want to do is to look into Camera Raw Presets and using them while in Bridge. You would open a representative image, adjust the image, save a preset and then apply that preset to as many images as you want to in Bridge. Also note you can open multiple images in ACR, select them and adjust multple images at once. You can also adjust an image and then in Bridge, copy the settings from the one file and paste them to others.
    Lots of way to accomplish what you want but not really by Actions in Photoshop.

  • Problems Opening Lightroom File in Photoshop

    I am trying to open a file from Lightroom in Photoshop. This worked seamlessly in the previous version (I'm now in 2.4). By choosing Photo/Edit In/Edit In Adobe Photoshop CS4...the file opens in a secondary display. I cannot then open the file in Photoshop as expected. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Lochinvar

    I too have ACR5.4 and LR 2.4. I've tried opening a file with Photoshop already open but I get the same result. The file opens in a secondary window, meaning it goes to Window/Secondary Display/Loupe Locked. This is chosen automatically when I execute Edit In/Adobe Photoshop CS4. All my files reside on an external drive but when I try the same thing reading from my MacBook drive, the file opens as expected in Photoshop CS4.
