Open image in PS CS6 from LR 4.4 - found different PS app

Something weird happened today... I was in LR 4.4 and made the choice to open an image into PS CS6. I received the message that the Photoshop app had changed location, would I like to open the image. Without giving it much thought, I clicked on YES... The image opened in PS CS6 but I noticed a second PS icon in my dock (Mac, using Mountain Lion). I have not changed anything lately in my Applications folder.
I did some checking and when I clicked to open the original PS icon in the dock, the app was located in my Applications folder. The PS that opens from LR is on my external TimeMachine backup Hard Drive. I can actually open both PS apps at the same time. When I ejected my TimeMachine backup Hard Drive, LR is unable to find the Photoshop app.
How can I redirect LR to open the Photoshop app that is in my Applications folder?

go to LR preferences and under EXTERNAL EDIT tab choose the PSCS6 that you want.
Be certain that you are selecting the correct drive.

When I open a photo in CS6 from Adobe Bridge, a large white box appears. How do I fix this?

When I open a photo in CS6 from Adobe Bridge, a large white box appears. How do I fix this?

Good day!
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

“Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
“Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open. Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space. Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
Safe boot http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
1 It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
2 It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
3 In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
4 It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
5 It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
6 It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
7 Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
"loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
Did Aperture work before?
Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
My macbookpro details:
2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
Available 387.36 GB
I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
I hope this helps you to understand more.
Thank you for trying to help me.

Why is Bridge CS6 not opening images in PS CS6?

Recently, Bridge has stopped opening pictures in Photoshop CS6. Each time I try the screen signals that Photoshop has to close down. However, I can open the pictures in ACR 7.4, but again, those images will not open in Photoshop. If I use the Mini Bridge in Photoshop, everything works fine, It seems there is a problem in the link from Bridge CS6 to Photoshop CS6.Any thoughts?

Hi there, because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Camera Raw opens image in PS CS6 but I want it to open it in PS CC

When I click "Open Image" in Camera Raw it tries to open it in PS CS6 but I want it to open it in PS CC which I installed after PS CS6.
How can I set the default editor for Camera Raw?

I don't know if you have Windows or OSX, so let's go with Windows.
On the Windows level:
If you want your camera raw file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CC and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".
If you do not see Photoshop CC in the list, click on the Browse button at the bottom and navigate to where the Photoshop CC.exe is kept and choose it.
If you use Bridge CC (a separate download in Creative Cloud) you have to also set the default editor there.
Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations > find your camera raw file and select Photoshop CC from the dropdown menu.

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.

If you are actually interested in trouble-shooting please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2325
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.)

Opening Raw files in CS6 from Olympus OM D EM1

Can anyone advise How I can open raw files from OMD EM1 camera. I ran updates from Help menu in CS6 but it still wont open them.

You need at least ACR 8.3 for that camera model.
What version of ACR do you have now? Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw will tell you.
If Help / Updates doesn’t install anything, then you may be able to use the manual installers, here:

Opening images in external programs from Lightroom

Hi all,
I have two questions.
Firstly - Can someone advise why, when I edit an image in an outside plugin ( right click on Edit In and select the program ), and then when I save the edited image in that program and go back to my Lightroom filmstrip, it is not there.
The edited image only appears when I close Lightroom down and reopen it. Then the edited image is there alongside the original. Obviously, closing down Lightroom every time I want to edit an image is not ideal.
I need to be able to open an image for external edits ( CS5 / NIK plugins ) and then see it again when I come back to Lightroom.
Any ideas ????
Secondly - this is the 3rd time I have asked this question in this forum. When I check a few hours later, my questions has disappeared, I assume moved down the line.
where do the older questions go ??? I haven't had a chance to read any answers. There is no " see older posts " button. Whats with that ????
Appreciate any help.
Dave.

Dave, looking back through this thread I don't see any mention of what OS you are on. I myself have Windows 7 so my knowledge of Mac systems is thoroughly limited, but over the years I have seen countless posts about problems that were finally tracked down to permissions settings for folders or drives in Mac machines. Normally, when you send an image to an outside editor LR temporally designates the folder from which it came as a sort of "watched folder" and automatically does the synchronization to auto-import a newly saved RGB image. If your LR can't do that (even manually), it's not clear where the fault lies; in LR or in the interface with the OS that gives LR access to the folder.

Every time I try to open an image in Photoshop CS6 it freezes.

I try to open images up in CS6 and it freezes.
uninstalling program and then reinstalling it.. hopefully that helps.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

How to change Bridge CC default's to open images in PS CC?

Bridge CC default to open images is PS CS6, how do I change the default to PS CC?

Update on this issue:
Concerning Ps CS6 seizing Dominance:
I did try UNinstalling and then re-installing Ps CC 14.00 but Ps CS6 still retained "Dominance" (meaning that it was impossible to change System Permissions to recognise that all PSDs should always be opened from the Finder in Ps CC).
Finally I uninstalled Ps CS6 from this HD and now CC has established "Dominance".
Bridge CS6 was NOT removed from my HD when I uninstalled Ps CS6. (You need to keep Bridge CS6 until Adobe replaces the the AOM Panel in Bridge CC.)
Also, choosing the Default File Associations in Bridge CC, now correctly sets all Photoshop-related Associations to Ps CC instead of Ps CS6.
Duplicated from another thread beause there are multiple threads all discussing the same issue!

Bridge wont open images in PS CC

Hey there I have just installed PS CC last night along with bridge. both are located on the same drive (c). I am running 64bit. when I click on a DNG it opens in HP media smart photos and jpegs open in windows live photo gallery. I am assuming there is some sort of preference that needs to be fixed but i am not sure where to find that? I looked up the preferences in bridge but couldn't see anything there that lets me select PS as the default for opening images.
Any help appreciated

actually I have just found it but will leave this here in case anyone else has this problem. in Bridge go to Edit>Preferences>File Type Associations and select the particular file you are trying to open click on the drop down arrow and select browse. navigate to your program files on the drive you have PS installed in my case the C drive open Adobe the your PS CC file then select photoshop. Hope that makes sense im not very tech savy lol.
The problem was when bridge installed it has "NONE" as the default file to use on all the file types when looking at the file type associations.

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
in iPhoto 11. Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank.
And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6 to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
Please advise. Glenys

This may be of help to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
