Photoshop Elements as Default Photo Viewer

I have successfully installed Photoshop Elements 4.0. Now I would like to make it my "default" photo viewer--i.e. when I open a photo, I would like it to be in Photo Shop rather than the previous application, which was the Microsoft Photo viewer that came pre-installed on my computer. I haven't been able to find information in the Adobe help section and FAQs on how to do this. Can anyone help me?

Most people want to know how to keep PSE from being the default viewer. :) Actually, the default viewer is a Windows function and not controlled by Elements, but it's an easy thing to change.
Find one of the image files on your hard drive of the type you want to have open automatically in Elements, e.g. all JPEG files. Right click on the image icon and go to Choose Program to Open. If Elements doesn't show on the list, there is a place at the bottom where you can view other program options. Select PSE 4.0 as the default viewer, and also make sure you choose the option to apply the change to all files of the same type. You'll have to do the same thing for each file format, like PSD, TIFF, etc.

Photoshop/Elements to Revel Photo Migration Problem!

What happened to my Photoshop/element photos? They were supposedly migrated, but I don't see them! I have no albums in my Revel account.I had a paid subscriiption and it was cancelled back in or around February, and told that the photos would be moved over to REVEL...Can anyone help me to get them back?

First, thanks Pattie for following up with me. I am going to check my backed up hard drives to see if my photoshop materials are on them. It will take me a few days, as I have only small amounts of time to research it at this time. maybe a break will come in a day or two for a determination.

Michael-
Is it possible you logged into Photoshop.com with a different email, or is it possible that you did not set up your Elements to sync with Photosho.com? These are the two main reasons users can not find their files.
The Photoshop.com account created in 2009 with the email you use to log in to this forum has no files in it, and therefore, nothing migrated to the Revel account with the same login. You do have a Revel account with the same login, but it is also empty since nothing migrated.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc. Anybody at Apple listening?

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

Photoshop Elements as default

How do I make Photoshop Elements the default for opening photos online?

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you still haven't blogged.
The main distinction between blogs and forums like this is that forums are more organized and structured. Forums allow you to easily see the discussions that are ongoing for specific subjects, and participate in only those discussions that interest you.

When attempting to use Lightroom external editor program to edit a photo in Photoshop Elements 10, the photo does not open / appear on photoshop elements screen. I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS. I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS. Any solutions?

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

When I zoom in to see all the details of a photograph with photoshop elements 8 the photo become pixelated. is there a way I can anti alias the photo after I blow it up?

Hi ,
Anti- alisa feature only available to text layers not image layers.
you can add blur to make it smooth (if image has not too much details ).
thanks,

N8 default photo viewer and Nokia Maps

With the E52, I can view a photo (with geotag) with the default photo viewer. Select "Option/Show on Maps" and it will automatically opens up Nokia Maps showing where that photo was taken. And to navigate to that place.
With the N8 photo viewer, there isn't any such option. Is there any apps that could do that? Thanks

Seems it works the same way that on Nokia 5800xm as mentioned here ...

Default photo viewer

I'm using PSE 8 and I would like for it to be my default photo viewer. I always have to import my photos into PSE 8 to work with them. Is there a setting I'm just not seeing?

How can I get Photoshop Elements to import photos that it wrongly indicates are wrong or in catalog?

Had 17,000 photos on harddrive before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. Had them well organized in a number of folders under My Pictures. PS found and imported only 467 photos. I tried Search, Browse, and import Files; was able to highlight folders and individual photo files. When I clicked Get Media, it processed for 20 seconds and came back with message that "Files are not in correct format or are already in the catalog." In fact, they are in the correct format (jpg - able to easily view with other programs) and they are NOT visible in the catalog. I went into Control Panel and enabled the Watch service, listed all of the files that PS had not imported from, and still cannot show more than 467 of my photos. Very frustrating, any suggestions? Running Win 7 on 6-months old Sony that plays Blue-Ray, with 8 GB RAM and quad core Intel processors.

This forum is amazing - thanks to all who responded over the weekend. For future users, some replies I found helpful: 1. allow a lot of time for the cataloging process. I had not realized it would be such a slow and incremental process but a day later it is continuing to add to the catalog - am now up to a couple thousand in the catalog, 2. turning off Organize and Stack visually-similar, and the corrective functions during the initial process speeds things up, 3. go into Control Panel, Administrative, Services and activate the Photoshop Elements watch function as soon as you install Elements, 4. it was helpful to repair/optimize, and 5. if you realize it is really messed up, uninstalling Elements and re-installing may work better than lots of little tweaks and fixes. Now if I can just figure out how to get photos ordered by actual date taken rather than random future dates that my camera or previous version of Elements 8 apparently assigned....

Photoshop Elements 12 Default Issue

I have installed PE 12, but I'm unable to open my photos using Photoshop Elements 12 as default. (I must first open PE 12, choose Open: then navigate to the photo.)
I have several other versions of PE installed, including PE 11. Right now when I double-click on a photo, it opens in PE 11. When I choose Open with: the dialog box lists only PE 11. When I go to Choose default program: PE 12 is not shown. When I go to Browse: then navigate to the .exe file for PE 12, my computer just adds another PE 11 to the list.
How do I correct this, so that when I double-click on a photo, it automatically open in PE 12?
Thanks,
Rick

I downloaded a 'trial' edition of Elements 12. When it installed it asked if it was a trial or if I had an activation code. I entered what I have and it completed installing. Running it the first time tells me I have 7 days to complete (can't remember other than login info.) Hope this works!

ITunes won't integrate with Photoshop Elements 6 for Photo Syncing

I just recentley upgraded to Photoshop Elements 6 for organizing my photos, but for some reason, it keeps showing up my old Photoshop Elements 5 catalouge (which by the way, states that there's 0 pictures on listed albums) instead of my new Photoshop Elements 6 cataloug.
Is this a glitch in iTunes or problem with Adobe...
Also is this integration error something to do with Adobe delaying the release of Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac?

Upgraded to iTunes 7.6, and now the sync is working perfectley....
I KNEW IT! Adobe delayed the release of Photoshop Element for Mac BECAUSE OF iTunes for Windows AND iPhoto INTEGRATION PROBLEMS!!!!
WHY ADOBE, WHY DID YOU WROTE THE SOFTWARE THAT DELAYED THE DEVELPEMENT FOR MAC VERSION!
Anyway, the problem is solved!

Photoshop Elements 8 - Web Photo Gallery?

I have Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition and Photoshop Elements 2.0. I would like to create a Web Photo Gallery with Photoshop Elements 8 trial edition just like I have been doing with Photoshop Elements 2.0. I cannot find how to create a Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop Elements 8. Has Adobe removed the Web Photo Gallery function from Photoshop Elements 8?
I want to create a photo gallery to share photos on my own website and allow viewers to download the pictures. The new online sharing function in Photoshop Elements 8 only creates a slide show without downloading capability.

Bob,
Thanks for answering. I need to create a Web Photo Gallery so I can upload thumbnails and full-size pictures to my website and have viewers be able to download the full-sized pictures. The Flash version does not permit downloading and requires that you use one of the provided templates. It appears that Photoshop Elements 8 is a downgrade from Photoshop Elements 2.0 in this respect. Is there any way to accomplish what I want to do with Photoshop Elements 8.0?
By the way, I really like your video tutorial on the Adobe website.

Photoshop Elements 8-RAW photos

I am using photoshop elements 8 and I am trying to pull my RAW files from iPhoto over.But I can't pull them into elements 8 as RAW PHOTOS, it says that it .doesnt recognize this type of fIle...has this happened to anyone...please help!

For RAW file updates for PE, you'll need to go to Adobe. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5390
If your Camera's not listed there, try the Camera Raw overview page; you may need an earlier update.
Apple RAW downloads are for iPhoto and Aperture only.
