Photoshop CS3 lauches but does not open files from Lightroom 2.7

These programs have been on my computer since the dawn of time and have always worked. Now all of a sudden I can't open files from LR into PS. PS launches, but the files don't open. I get that message Photoshop could not be lauched, which is ironic since the program is now open.
I haven't done anything to the programs so it makes no sense. IN the past I have had issues with PS and the tech had me create a new login on my computer and it fixed things. Tried that. No help.
Does anyone ahve any suggestions. I have repaired both programs to no avail.
Thanks for you help.

Something has gone wrong with how Lightroom finds and communicates with Photoshop.
That could be a registry string, or some preference within Lightroom.
The Lightroom forum is more likely to be able to help you solve this.

  • Photoshop CS-6 does not open images from Lightroom 5

    I do have Photoshop CS-6 and Lightroom 5.  Nearly all images were created in a Windows 7 (64 bit) environment.  I have moved platforms to MAC. I have moved all images and the Catalog. I have changed platform to MAC. I am now using MAC OS-X (10.9.1).
    I am able to see all images in Lightroom, I am able to modify all images in Lightroom. I can export the images to Jpeg (for example) from Lightroom.  I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
    First time I have tried to open an Image from Lightroom (hand over) Photoshop opens, but does not show any picture and no error message. But when I then look to recently opened files, the image is in the list. When I do click on this, Photoshop shows and error message: "the datamodule can not handle the file format" (which is either RAW or jpeg).
    Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.

    That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.
    I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
    That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
    As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it.

  • Photoshop CS6 not opening files from Lightroom 5.6

    On my mac I updated to Lightroom 5.6. Now it will not open the file in Photoshop CS6 using the "Edit it Photoshop" option. Anyone know how to work around this? I do not want to "render in lightroom" each time. Thanks!

    There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

  • IWeb open but does not open file

    My site files for iWeb can not be found by the application. When working with, it suddenly shut and upon restart, it did not fine the files. Where is the file located and how can it be relinked?

    The file that iWeb uses is named Domain.sites2 and is located by default in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If the file is there double click on it to see if it will open.
    Happy New Year

  • Photoshop does not open file sent from LR

    Photoshop CS6 Extended does not open files sent from Lightroom. 4.4 on Win 7. What is wrong? PS starts but instead in LR the error "Could not open Photoshop' appears.

    BTW, I tried moving the Editor app from the support file into the app folder per fixes on this issue in the past.

  • When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred. On Mac try launching directly from Applications. [if not using PSE13 substitute your own version and go to Program Files (x86)]

  • Preview does not open files anylonger

    Preview on my MB is not longer working!
    It is unable to view pdf. files.
    Any suggestions?
    Bernhard

    If another application tries to open when you double click a pdf file. click once on that file to select it, then press command + I.
    in the info window that appears expand the section 'open with' then choose from the drop down 'preview' then click the change all button.
    If preview opens but does not open the pdf you may have a bad preference file so trash the following file
    /Users/yourname/Library/com.apple.Preview.plist
    then reopen preview.

  • I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.

    I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.  It also won't close without using "Force Quit." When I access it in Force Quit it's listed as not responding. I am getting the messase that my start-up disc is full, but I can't assess the status without using the activity monitor app. Thanks for any assistance you can give. -F.J.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your hard drive is full, you have to delete files. Open Finder, search in all your user's folders and delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive.
    When the hard drive is full, OS X works slow and applications may freeze, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason why Activity Monitor isn't working

  • When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

  • When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

    When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Wendy
