Opening web jpeg files by dragging to CS3 Photoshop Dock Icon

G5/2.0ghz/dual/3gigRAM/OSX5.8/CS3 Suite Extended
In Tiger, why was I able to drag any web image to the dock CS3 icon and it open in CS3 Photoshop immediately, and I am unable to do this in Leopard? I have repaired by DiskUtility and Disk Warrior, repaired permissions (an especially long list each time), lastily reinstalled CS3.
I can save the web image to the desktop. Open Photoshop and find it, then open it, but I cannot drag the web image directly to the CS3 Photoshop dock icon and open the same web image.
I get the message: Photoshop does not recognize this file type.

No joy, Printer Rick. Thanks for your response.
I saved the jpeg to my desktop. In CS3, File/Open/xxxxx.jpg. Opens perfectly.
From Safari, I drag the same xxxxx.jpg to the dock CS3 icon. CS3 responds "I do not recognize this file"
I click on xxxxx.jpg on my desktop. Command+I, direct OSX58 to open all similar files in CS3 Photoshop.
Restart the computer.
Go to the same web page, drag the image to the CS3 dock icon, and CS3 doesn't recognize it.
What am I missing from the FAQ, that someone else wants me to look at?
Or was that a lazy suggestion to me?

  • Opening a .jpeg-file in a folder with Applescript

    I am trying to change the names of .jpeg files into the names of the corresponding music albums in a folder.
    As far as my knowledge of Applescript goes, the following script should do the job, but it does not open the .jpeg file, i.e. document 1
    tell application "FileMaker Pro"
      activate
              set url_path to cell "bestandspad_cover" of current record
              set album_title to cell "album title" of current record & ".jpeg"
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
                   try
                open url_path
                                  if not (exists url_path) then
                                                 display dialog "not found"
                                  else
                                                 display dialog "path=" & url_path

    I work in an FMP environment, but that should not bother you. I am using the Applescript editor to simulate the actual situation.
    I tried 'open', 'get' and 'getURL', to no avail; in my experience Applescript sometimes requires illogical, or say imaginative solutions.
    Do you see one?

    Thanks for thinking with me.
    The problem lies not with FMP; hereafter the Applescript in the editor; I left out the displays, but the content is given in the next line.

    The real problem for me is to obtain the name of the document file; I can't figure out why I cannot succeed.

  • Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

    Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation.  How do I get past this?

    You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
    Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. 
    This will bring up the EULA.
    Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
    Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
    You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

  • Errors on open large jpeg files in Windows 2000

    Q. I am having problems opening large jpeg files (eg 40"x30" @270 ppi)
    after having saved them in Windows 2000
    A. This is a known issue and can be resolved either by turning off
    thumbnails for JPEGS or by using the JPEG2000 file format. The
    Photoshop plugin for Windows can be obtained from Adobe:-

    This is from the post at this site: Re: Adobe CS6 file associations are all messed up
    Just change the directory to the correct EXE for cc 2014 and you should be good.
    Correct Answerby Curt Y on Jun 5, 2012 7:08 PM
    Here is a registy fix for Win7 machines to the file association problem.
    This from TinusHDCA user:
    I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was still there. I thought, hey, I don't need CS5 anymore, so I uninstalled CS5. then I found out that Photoshop was no longer available in 'Open with' when right-clicking an image...
    So I went into the Registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see 'Adobe Photoshop CS6' in my 'Open with' list when right-clicking an image...

  • Opening a Jpeg file

    I can't open a jpeg file, i'm receiving error message stating "unable to open file due to  parsing of jpeg" does anyone know what this is?

    Sounds like the file maybe corrupted.
    Try another program like gimp, Windows paint or other image editor. It maybe more forgiving trying to open it. Then save the file with a new name to make sure the file is rewritten. While your at it save another file as a png and/or tiff. That will save some time if the jpg did not work.

  • Why won't adobe reader open my jpeg files?

    why won't adobe reader 11 open my jpeg files?

    Hi Nassman,
    Adobe Reader is a read only software for PDF files. JPEG is not a supported format which would open in Adobe Reader. You would need to open Jpeg in application which supports this file format.(e.g. Photoshop, Picture Viewer, MS Paint)
    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

    Illustrator cc works very well. Why?

    1. I open Photoshop cc Trial version

    3. File>Open> psd (cs5) or jpeg files

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
    You could use the free DNG Converter.

  • Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.

    Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
    Could it be something i have done in my settings?
    or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

    Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
    If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

  • Mountain Lion won't allow me to save photos from Mail directly to iPhoto (as you could in all other recent OSX).  Tried opening iPhoto and then click/drag each photo onto iPhoto icon on dock (as Help instructed) but the photo will not drag.  Suggestions?

    I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening.
    Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
    If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

  • Can only open some JPEG files in Camera Raw through Bridge CS3

    I'm running Bridge CS3 version 2.0.0.975. I always edit my JPEG files through Camera Raw in Bridge CS3. I only have to Right-Click on the file and select "Open in Camera Raw...". However, I've come into a situation where some jpg files will not open this way; the option is not even there.
    I have made sure to tick the box in preferences under Behavior "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge", and also tick the box under Thumbnails -> Performance and File Handling "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF Files.
    These files were originally 16bit Grayscale TIFF files, but I changed them to RGB 8bit JPEG files.
    Also, I know the program works because I navigate to an older photo I worked which is a JPEG and the "Open in Camera Raw..." option is there when I Right-Click, but then I navigate back to the image I want to edit, and the option is not there.
    Here are links to my screenshots of what I'm talking about. Both images in the last two screenshots are JPEG:

    When I open Photoshop CS3, then go File -> Open As and change the Format Type to "Camera Raw", the JPEG files vanish and I can only see the TIF files. When I open them, it doesn't open in Camera Raw, but rather opens like a normal file would.
    That's a fundamental problem right there, and a clue in all this.  You should be able to see JPEGs in the Open As Camera Raw dialog.
    What happens if you type in the name?
    I'm almost convinced you have a file named .jpg but with a different image format inside.  Can you put one of these files online for others to try to open?

  • Can't open D90 NEF files in Camera Raw CS3?

    I've downloaded the latest version of the plug-in, and it works perfectly when opening JPEGs. However it won't open my RAW files, it says they're not recognised?

    Unless it is listed in the ACR 4.6 compatibility list (in which case there is some other issue), the D90 came out after CS3 was obsolete so Adobe did not update the obsolete Camera RAW plug-in and only added D90 support to the current ACR plugin which comes with CS4.
    If you want to open D90 files in an older version of Photoshop you can download the latest DNG Converter from Adobe's website, which will recognize the RAW files, and convert the NEFs to DNGs and then open those DNG copies in CS3...or update to CS4 (or wait until Spring and update to CS5--just a guess since the LR3 beta expires 4/30/10).

    "This document is a Single File Web Page, also known as a Web Archive file. If you are seeing this message, your browser or editor doesn't support Web Archive files. Please download a browser that supports Web Archive, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer."
    This is the message I get whenever I try to access the page for class outlines, ect. They are usually powerpoint type things, but they open in Word (on Windows).
    I have tried using Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, copy/paste into Word, and saving it as a PDF. It works perfectly on Internet Explorer when using Windows.
    Is there anyway I'll be able to access these kinds of pages while I'm on a Mac?
    Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    When viewing brought Safari the same picture ca only be saved as a Web Archive file format.
    That's because you're not saving the pictures you're saving the page that contains them.
    Drag and drop the images from the Safari Window to the desktop and then import them from there to iPhoto.
    iPhoto is not a web browser and cannot read web archives.
