Open image in Photoshop

I want my images to open in Photoshop CS when I double click on the file, but even when I've been working on them, and saved them as Photoshop files they just open the application, not the image. There's a brief flash of an image but it never opens. I don't appear to have iPhoto, so a previously suggested answer appears not to help, and have just loaded Tiger and its latest updates (prior to re-loading Photoshop). The only way I can currently open images in Photoshop is thru the tedious "Open" menu within Photoshop, followed by a trawl through the file structure, or via the application's own file browser.

Hi Fearless,
How did you reload PS? do you reinstall it?
If you didn't reinstall it then might have to install it again.
Here is some old information I had copied and pasted
Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
"Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
"This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
"Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here.

I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is not recognizing the format of my new Nikon D610. I updated the version of my Camera Raw plug in and am still getting this message when trying to open images in photoshop. Please help.

This link shows that ACR 8.3 supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
So you can upgrade to CS6 and ACR 8.7.1
or using the DNG converter, convert your Nikon raw files to dng format to open in CS5.
Here is the download link: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
or Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
And here is a great video tutorial on how to use the converter.

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Ignoring the spam.............
What exactly is happening when you say you there are problems in opening images?
Have you tried cntrl + click on the the photo icon and then checking the options on "Open with..."
When you download the images do they have any kind of suffix eg .jpg or .tiff etc?

Opening image in photoshop automatically launches camera raw?

When I drag and drop an image into Photoshop, the image is automatically opened in Camera Raw. I don't want this and this didn't happen before. Why is this and where can I turn it off?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Found the solution - Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw… > JPEG and TIFF Handling > JPEG: Disable JPEG support.

When opening image in Photoshop from Lightroom "edit it," it defaults to TIF format

When I open an image in Photoshop CC by using the "edit with" command in Lightroom 5, after editing, the file will default to a TIF image rather than PSD. This ends up creating large, duplicate files (TIF and PSD) after I correct the problem.
Isn't there a way to ensure Photoshop CC defaults to a PSD regardless of where it's opened.
I do not use any editing or image-adjusting features in Lightroom. Nothing is changed in a photo until I edit in Photoshop. I open with RAW in photoshop.
I'm using Windows 8.1 with plenty of memory and disk space.
Thanks

Hi EJToll,
If you like to set the default file format of the file you Edit in Photoshop CC thorugh Lightroom then perform following steps.
Lanuch Lightroom and go to Edit> Preference(Windows) Lightroom>Peference(Mac)
Click "External Editing" tab
Change the option for "File Format" to PSD as deafult format for Edit In Adobe Photoshop CC
Click "Ok" button
Hope this helps.

Opening images in photoshop

Before when I would open an image on my desktop it would automatically open that image into Photoshop. Now it opens the image in preview. I now have to drag the image to the PS icon to open it in PS. How can I get back to where the image is automatically opened in PS?

Right click on the sort of file you want to open and select "Get Info". About half way down the Info panel will be the name of the Default programme for that file type. Select "Photoshop" instead and then click "Change all". Photoshop will then be the default instead of Preview.

Open button does not open image in photoshop?

Am I doing something wrong?
If I edit a CR2 file in Camera Raw 5.1, and the select the open button it does not open the image in Photoshop CS4. Is it not suppose too?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance

I saved the old version, just in case I had problems. So I removed the original version, and replaced it with v5.1
I did not try to open the file with Photoshop.
1. Opened bridge and viewed photos
2. Right click in bridge, and selected open with ACR
3. When Camera Raw opened, I edited photo and selected "open"
4. Photoshop opens, but with NO edited photo.
Now I have made a association in the download folder to open with Photoshop, which opens ACR first, then after editing it now works when I select open it opens in Photoshop.
If you read my last post, my quetion is "why does it not open from my method I used originally in Bridge?
I hope this is clear enough.

After CS6beta install, how to I tell CS5 bridge to open images in Photoshop CS5?

I am not ready to do all of my work in CS6 now, I am just trying to learn the interface. But now I cannot opening anything through bridge or windows explorer using Photoshop CS5 at all. The only way that I can open any image file in CS5 is to do it directly from Photoshop in the file open menu. How can I set Bridge CS5 to at least have Photoshop CS5 as an option, if not the default?

Open Photoshop CS5, and launch Bridge from there (Ctrl Alt o) That will open Bridge CS5, and load images into Photoshop CS5.

Fail to open image to photoshop in camera raw

after i make all the adjustment in camera raw, when I chick "open image" it fails to open in photoshop.any solution?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

When I open images in Photoshop CS6 they are completely blown out and color posterzation like appea

When I open my images in Photoshop CS6 they appear considerably blown out - none of the foreground has color and detail seen here-but you can see a posterize like appearancin the sky. The same thing is happening in Lightroom 5.

The work files are tiffs 16 bit - anything that opens in photoshop has the
same look -jpg,psd etc. My images are printed as digital C print by a lab.
I haven't intentionally changed anything since yesterday when I was editing
images. The appearance is the same in Lightroom where my digital image are
stored. I also have scanned film image that open in adobe camera raw.So
whatever is happening occurs both in Photoshop and lightroom.
You suggest a monitor setting, worth exploring, but could a monitor issue
affect only photoshop/lightroom doc.

Bridge CS6 can't open image with Photoshop CS6

I installed Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 with my Mac Pro with drive 1, which was cloned with drive 2 as a backup.
Now every time I try to open my RAW file in Bridge, it opens the file with the Photoshop with drive 2 instead of 1.
I have tried to eject the drive 2, but Bridge (with drive 1) fails to find the Photoshop in drive 1.
I have to force to open the Photoshop CS6 before Bridge in order to open the image, is there a way to sovle this problem?

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far anyway? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point.)

Right click image in Bridge CS3 will not open images in Photoshop

Hi,
New to Bridge here.
I have a problem where I can double click an image (jpg, cr2, tiff, it does not matter what type) or right click + open or right click + open with Photoshop but Photoshop will not start.
For jpgs, if I right click + open with Internet Explorer, it will open the jpg in IE.
Thanks.

Several different things to look at.
Go to edit/preferences/file type associations and see what the default settings are. THe ones you mentioned should be set to CS3.
You can also right click on a photo and set open with CS3.
If that does not solve it there are also file associations in Windows that can be changed.

Lightroom doesn't open image in Photoshop CS5 but does open PS CS5

I just installed CS5 and uninstalled CS4.
Now, Lightroom 2.7 when in try to "Edit in Photoshop CS5" Photshop CS5 does open, but the image I am trying to edit does not open in PS-CS5 . Photoshop just opens and the image from Lightroom is not present.
Looking at previous threads I have tried the solution:
Mac OS
On Mac OS, try the following solutions in order:
Solution 1: Rebuild the Photoshop plist file.
Close Photoshop Lightroom.
Navigate to the Users/[username]/LIbrary/Preferences folder.
Drag the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file in the Trash.
Start Photoshop. Photoshop will recreate the plist file.
I have updated LR , Mac OS and PSCS to all current versions
Any other ideas to get LR2.7 and PS CS5 to work together again ?
Thanks,

I did delete the LR plist file,
And yes I have the latest version of Camera Raw updated and installed,
but the Lightroom still opens PS CS5 but will not open the image too.
Any other sugestions
Thanks,
