Open Image Size 50% instead of 33% Photoshop CS2

When I open images in Photoshop CS2 they open at 33%. As I have a 19" screen and edit 100's of images a day I would like to change the "default" to open the images at 50% instead. Occasionally they open at 50% automatically but I don't know what I've done to make it happen. Can anyone help?

Ok, this is what you need to do.
1. Create a new action and when you are recording that action go to the
flyout menu for the actions palette and choose insert menu item. Then go to
the view menu and choose actual pixels. Stop recording. Basically you just
created an action that zooms your image to 100%.
2. Go to the file menu and choose Scripts and then Scripts Event Manager.
Choose the option to have the action start when you open a document, then
choose your action set and then the action you just made to zoom the
document to 100%, click on the add button.
Now anytime you load a new document it will zoom to 100%.

Trouble with opening images from dreamweaver cs6(64bit) to photoshop cs6(64bit).

Hi guys i need help! I have trouble with opening images from dreamweaver cs6(64bit) to photoshop cs6(64bit). I uninstalled and went to preferences/file types editors to set up ps6 as primary but I still get some error.After i click image in dreamweaver,I get this message-Unable to launch...Please be sure that application exists and that there is enough memory to run it..

Can you Launch Photoshop normally from your desktop shortcuts?
I usually keep DW and PS open at all times so I can switch back & forth.

Image Size when bringing pix into Photoshop from a Camera

I'm using Photoshop CS2 on XP Media Center Edition. I cannot, for the life of me, find out how set the default dpi of images being brought into Photoshop.
At the moment I'm using an Action but that's pretty time intensive when I have to bring in more than a few photos. Sometimes I have 2 or 3 hundred to do.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me.
JJ

Images are made of pixels. ppi has nothing to do with the characteristics of an image file. The ppi is only a suggested setting if placed in the metadata of an image file. You can print your image at any size you want regardless of the ppi embedded in the file. Some printers will assume you want to use the embedded ppi setting but again this can be overridden.
So, Printed images have ppi. (image files do not, until they are printed)
So ask yourself, why are you trying to set the default ppi (you say dpi) of the image files? What are you going to use this metadata information for. Normally I just ignore this ppi metadata since it really does not mean anything, other than possibly the physical size you meant to print your image, but again it can be overridden at the time of printing.

Bulk opening images from an indesign project in photoshop.

I want to quickly open all the images from an indesign project in photoshop so that I can save them for use on the web. Is there a quicker way to do this than just clicking "edit in" on each individual image? I am using indesign CS4 and photoshop CS5
Thank you!

You could perhaps use the copy links to folder command (which will change the links in the doc to the copied location, so maybe not a good idea) or package the file to create a links folder (and you can throw away the package when your done), then run a batch on the folder from Photoshop.

Incorrect image size and low quality file (Photoshop CC trial ver. on Macbook Pro Retina)

At first, I set 500x500 size
but in workplace, it show smaller than 500x500 (maybe 250x250?)
I check on "image > image size" it still show me 500x500 pixels
Save for web
After that, i got a 500x500 file but It resize from smaller to 500x500 , so... i got a low quality file.
what's wrong?
(sorry for bad english skill but i really want your help)
Ps. it also incorrect when i set resolution as 300dpi

Pixel is not a measurement unit of length per se.
If a screen has more pixels per unit of length an image (when displayed as one image pixel per one screen pixel) would appear smaller than on a screen with lower resolution.
To make sure could you please post an image that is 500px x 500px (according to Image > Image Size) but seems to be too small to you?

Right click top bar to open Image Size/Canvas Size/Info?

I've just upgraded from PS 5 to PS CC. In previous versions I was able to just right click on the top image bar to bring up a dialog box allowing me to access the Image Size, Canvas Size, Image Info, etc... That does not seem to be the case with PS CC, or am I missing a prefence setting that will allow this?
Thanks!

I tried your suggestion but still cannot access that info by right-clicking the bar. I've gone through my preference settings, primarily under the Interface section and enabled and disabled several options but still no luck. It's just habit from many years use and nice to be able to access several common settings I might adjust.
The keyboard shortcuts are fine also, but again habit and if my hand is already on the mouse it's just...or was just a simple click. (Me being lazy)
Thanks for the help and suggestions. If anyone else a suggestion, great!

Opening images in other programs

I am attempting to open images from my iphoto library in Photoshop 7. I have set the drop down menu in the general dialogue box to "opens with Photoshop". When I double click on the image, it will open the Photoshop program, but the image itself will not open.
I also changed the option in the drop down menu to "opens photo in edit window", but all I get is a black box with no image visable.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Hi steven,
Did you start having this problem with Photoshop after you did an archive and install? If so.....
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.
Can you view the image you are having problems with in the Finder? Navigate to the image in the finder and double click to open in Preview. Can you see it fine in Preview. If not, then the image is corrupt.

Amusing little image size/dpi bug in CS5

Has anyone else discovered PS CS5 applying nearly random dpi settings to newly opened documents? This is not a destructive bug, as far as I can tell, but when I open "Image Size," PS will sometimes give me a whacko value for dpi (something like 1.2 or 3.4) with appropriately expanded dimensions. I then reset the dpi to something sane (72, 300, whatever it ought to be), and the image dimensions return to what they ought to be.
No biggee, but I don't like signs of random mischief in my software, and would like to find out if this is a known issue.
I did, incidentally, run "image size" and "dpi" through the PS help forum search engine to see if this has been discussed recently. Came up with a big "no" both times. Seems like that's another piece of software that is largely decorative.
Thanks for any light,

Haven't seen that, but there are bugs in, for example, the JPEG writing software in some cameraphones.
I had one phone that insisted all the photos taken with it were at zero dpi. That caused some problems.
I had a different phone which reported that all photos taken with it were at something like six-million dpi. Closer inspection of the file revealed that it was trying to write some fairly normal dpi, but was getting the byte-order wrong.
If your new images are coming from the same device or application, it might be worth checking the documents in Preview.app, and doing a "Show Inspector" (command-I) on the image and see what Preview thinks about it.

"Could not complete the image size command because the file name was not valid"

Hello,
Some one please help me,when i try to resize psd file its showing this message ...whats the issue ???
"Could not complete the image size command because the file name was not valid"
Thanks !

Can you change other images via Image > Image Size?
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.)

Export plugin - forcing specific image size

Hi - I'm trying to change the sample FTP upload plugin so that it does not give the user the option of setting an image size but instead forces a maximum height and maximum width of 675 pixels. I've figured out how to hide the 'image settings' option in the export dialog but have gotten nowhere with trying to enforce the image size.
I have added this into FtpUploadServiceProvider.lua but it doesn't work:
    updateExportSettings = function( exportSettings )
    exportSettings.LR_size_maxHeight = 675
    exportSettings.LR_size_maxWidth = 675
    end,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I found that I had to schedule a new export session in order to have new export parameters take effect - or I least thats what I did and it worked. I have a web plugin that schedules a separate export for each size: thumbnail, + bigger, ... Dunno if there's a better way.

How do I straighten images using Photoshop CS2?

Can someone please tell me how I straighten images like horizons and buildings using Photoshop CS2?
I run the software under Windows XP
Thank you.

What I do is press Ctrl-T which activates Free Transform. I press Ctrl-" which turns on the grid. I can then rotate the file to correct a drooping horizon, or I can Right-Click on the image to activate the contextual menu, and select Skew. In that mode, I can grab a corner and drag it up or down, right or left, to shift or tilt the image.
Another way to level horizons is to use the Measure tool and from the menu, <Image>, <Rotate Canvas>, <Arbitrary>. You use the Measure tool to draw a line from one part of the horizon to another. When you click Arbitrary you'll get a little dialog. Click <OK> and the image rotates. You'll need to deal with cropping next since your image no longer fills the corners.

Camera Raw, Photoshop CS2 and Nikon D40

Can't open camera raw images from my Nikon D40 in Photoshop CS2.
I downloaded the camera raw plug-in (3.7) but still cannot open the images.
Many problems:
1) I don't have the folder described in the instructions Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-ins>CS2?File Formats. My plug-ins are located inside my Photoshop folder. Even after I put the camera raw 3.7 in the plug-ins folder, it doesn't show up under "About Plug-ins."
2) I don't have an NEF plug-in anywhere. I searched the places mentioned in forums as well as a my entire computer.
Help!

Just one note of clarification that you need to understand. You do NOT have to match the version of the DNG converter with your version of Photoshop. You always want to use the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert images from all of the most recent cameras that ACR supports. So, currently (as of today) you want to be using DNG converter version 4.4.1. It will create DNG files that will be compatible with any version of ACR back to version 2.4 which works with Photoshop CS.
The other thing to verify is what version of Camera Raw is installed on your computer. You want to make sure you are using version 3.7, because that is the last version that was created for Photoshop CS2. If you are using a Windows computer, open Photoshop and then go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once; if it is listed more than once you have a problem. A dialog will appear that will indicate what version is installed. If it is anything other than ACR 3.7, then you don't have the latest version available.
Be aware that there will never be another update of ACR for Photoshop CS2. But if you keep track of the updates and always keep the latest version of the DNG converter on your computer you will have support for every camera that is supported by ACR.
I don't know if any of this information is helpful to you. I just want to help you understand how to integrate DNG files into your workflow.
