Photoshop opens all files as transparent

I installed the CS4 Suite. When Photoshop comes up the background layer is transparent. This happens even if I open a file with Photoshop. In that case, the Layer icon shows the image but what I see on screen is only the checkerboard pattern. The proper way for the New file to show up is with the background a solid (specified) color and for an opened file the actual image being opened. How do I correct this?

In Photoshop Edit/Preferences there is a GPU Settings area listing my “NVIDIA Corporation Quadro NVS 285/PCIe/SSE2” graphics card and showing the “Enable OpenGL Drawing” checked. (There is also an [Advanced Settings…] button with various GL Settings activated.) However it is not until I uncheck Enable OpenGL Drawing that I can see an image when I open up an existing .psd file—otherwise it shows up as a transparent area (checkerboard pattern) with the image showing only in the (Background) Layer Icon.
I have updated the driver for the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 with the Quadro/Tesla Desktop Driver Release 304     [ http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-tesla-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-307.45-whql-driver.html   ]
Because Photoshop accurately recognizes and lists my graphics card in its Preferences settings (and because I am using the latest driver release for that card) I must assume Photoshop has recognized and accepted my NVIDIA graphics card.
So the question remains, given that Photoshop recognizes the graphics card and the graphics card driver has been up dated (OS: Win7 Professional):
    a)    What is Photoshop needing now?    And
    b)    What can I do to Enable OpenGL Drawing?

Open all files in 'Open Recent' menu

Is there a way to open all files at once that appear in the 'Open Recent' menu in Preview? If I have 15 PDFs listed, would it be possible to open them all at once (perhaps through Automator?).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can you identify the disc where your Scratch files go to.
If you have not designated a specific disc it will be in the default location.
You need to remove any files associated with the Project in question from the Scratch Disc location.
Specific info here:

If you wish to remove the Recent List trash the FCE Preference files.
Use this to make it easy:

Library opens all files in it after I click on it

Hi Everybody
When I double click on my library it opens all files in it. I have another library, which after I click opens only a dialog box to chose the file to open.
Now, how do I determine how the library should behave, either it should open all vis at the opening either it will pop up with dialog box.
Thanks in advance
Pawel

Each vi that configured as main in llb will open after double-clicking on llb. For editing of vi's configuration in llb select Tools/Edit Vi Library, select llb file, and select which files will be main.

Contribute tries to open all file types

Contribute 3 tries to open all file types, in addition to the
designated application. You click on "file.doc" and contribute AND
word try to open the file. You have to cancel the open process for
contribute at least three times to make it go away. Then the file
open as usual in word. I have checked the preferences and removed
all "MS Office" file types from the dialog. I have checked the
folder options and verified that Contribute is NOT the assigned
application in Windows to open the file.
Help this is very annoying!

I'm glad to know there are other people out there with the
same problem... but has anyone found a solution yet?

Aperture 3.5 does not open all files in external editor (PS CS6)

When I select several photos in Aperture (which are parts of a panorama serie for example) and click choose to open them in the external editor (here Adobe Photoshop CS6), only a random subset are opened.
Aperture warns me if I want the (for example) 14 pictures to be exported for edition, I confirm, but I end up with only (for example) 9 photos in Photoshop. The missing ones can be any photos (not necessarily the first or latest).
Note that 9 is not an upper limit, I once opened 23 photos and only had 21 in Photoshop opened.
If I again select those same photos and choose to export them (either as PSD using the same format as with the Editor command, or asking for the original that was created for the external editor) to a folder. Then when I open all the photos at once form the finder (or Bridge) to Photoshop, I have all the photos in Photoshop. So Photoshop has no problem opening the files.
Do you have the problem too? How do you solve it?
For the time being I manually export the files, open them from the Finder, stitch them in PS and reimport the result in Aperture.
A bit tedious... If there is no work around, I will try to fiddle with some automation...
Final note:
PS CS6, Aperture and OS X are all at there latest respective versions (i-e respectively: 13.0.6, 3.5.1 and 10.9.2)

I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.

In acrobat 9, How Opening all files in one windows

In the past version (7) it was possible to open all the pdf in the same files with switching off in preferences>general the option show the documents in the task bar.
Is that function lost with this version or is it possible to do the same thing by another way ?
Thanks for your ansvwer,

It's not possible with version 9.

Adobe Reader tries to open all files even Excel and Word docs.

When I try to open files that are sent to me, the Adobe Reader tries to open them all instead of an Excel file getting opened automatically by Excel and a .doc being opened by Word.
The message I get by the Reader says it cannot open it, of course. (I have Windows Vista on my HP computer if that is the problem.) Someone told me to take the default off of the Reader so the files open and download in the proper software program, but I am unable to find such a "default" option in the Reader program properties.
I never had this problem with any previous Windows version, so not sure if it is my computer, or the Reader. How can I fix this so when I download or open a file, it automatically opens in the right software?

This means that the file associations of the various Office programs have been muddled up somehow. Try an Office repair install; that should correct the file associations.

Edit in Photoshop - opening original file, no adjustments, no options

I have LR4 and CS5, when I right click on the photo to edit in photoshop I don't have any options as to how I want to open the file such as original, edited with LR adjusemnts, etc. When the file immediately opens in photoshop it is opening without any of the global adjusments I made in LR.
It was working earlier and now (no settings changed to my knowledge) its not working properly?

Bob,
OK. If you have CR 6.7, I think, in PS CS5, you'll not get the option. Do your Lightroom changes actually not make it to Photoshop? As an experiment, make a big, noticable change and send that image to PS.

Cannot deinstall ps cs4 and bridge cs5 open all files in CS4 instead of Cs5

I temporarily could not make the Eastman Kodak ROC Professional plug-in work in my PS CS5 so I tried other programs to use this plug-in in. I therefore installed an old PS Elements 5 and PS CS4 (my present PS CS5 is bougth as an update from CS4) . However now the plug-in works fine in my PS CS5 and I of course prefer to work in this. I have, however, acquired a new problem: The only way I can open picture files in PS CS5 is via the files menu in Photoshop itself. If I try to open via Bridge (and it is Bridge CS5) I can only open the files in PS CS4. I cannot deinstall PS CS4. Bridge CS5 states that "open in PS CS4 is the default action".
Sorry if this is a foolish question.
Git Amager1

Sorry not to have reacted to the above for so long. Even after doing as you proposed things did not work. In the end I (after the Christmas Holidays) I did reinstall the pc - changed from Vista to windows 7. I do not know what caused the problem initially but at least I think I can conclude that one should not install the cs4 software after having installed cs5. Thank you for your support.

Preview opening all files in folder

When browsing to open a file in Preview through File>Open File... dialogs, Preview is opening all of the files within a folder (rather than opening the folder's directory) after a double-click on the folder.
Am I missing something?

Double-click on folders in open dialogue does not open the entire folder contents in most applications! (I just tested a couple standard programs to confirm: Safari, TextEdit.) It is an annoying and unnecessary attribute which seems only applicable in Preview.
The feature of Preview where double-clicking a folder in the open dialogue causes Preview to open the entire folder contents is the bane of my existence as a Mac OS user. (And I do use other operating system, my Mac triple boots.) This behavior is not only inconsistent (and generally confirms that Mac OS X is perpetually confused about what type of mouse actions cause what actions in different areas), but a horrible catastrophe when, at least once a day, I inadvertently double-click a folder (in this manner) containing many files Preview associates with itself, where the only easy solution is to Force Quit. Don't believe me? When Preview starts trying to open 200 post-script files, which it must first convert to pdf, and the Cancel button does not respond, what should you do? Even if you wait for it to open all the files, in the case where conversion to pdf is involved, each window I close asks me if I wish to save!
All the complaints aside, is there a way I can disable this gregariously foolish and mis-sighted feature? If there is not a way to disable this feature at present, I'll just hope that a developer is reading this, since this is my only recourse in closed-source software, except to find new software.
And while I'm at it, may I request that Preview have the added feature to directly view post-scripts?

Open all files in folder using Javascript

Let's say I want to open all the files in a particular folder, without knowing the names of those files.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

ok I solved it
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Please select top level folder to process");
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
for(i=0;i<fileList.length;i++) var docRef = app.open(fileRef);

Photoshop opening Javascript File as an Image

I have a series of Applescript droplets that perform a number of functions, then launch a javascript file in Photoshop
The codes looks like this:
This has worked consistenlty for a year, but recently started throwing an error with certain javascript files. Photoshop is trying to open the javascript file as an image. The "do javascript" applescript command no longer works in Photoshop. Does anybody have any idea what I might need to change to get Phootshop to run the javascript as a script?
Thank you

Hum, I've NOT heard of any issues with AppleScript's do javascript command… From the snippet posted I would have expected Photoshop to try open the file thats what you asked it to do… Photoshop CS5 had an issue with AppleScript's alias file specifiers… It now prefers you pass a string then inside the tell app block state its a file… Im CS5 and this works just fine…
set jsFile to (path to desktop as text) & "AlertMe.jsx" -- text/string not alias
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
activate
tell current document
do javascript file jsFile -- include the specifier file
end tell
end tell
I only asked for the doc name in an alert but it worked…
alert( app.activeDocument.name );

Finder software is locked unable to open all files folder

I am able to open finder and view every file except the all files folder. Also when I open the mail program or safari the menu is not listed at the top of the screen so that I can access it. I had to force shut down the finder program and then the other programs would open and work normally. The finder program does give one error message saying that it can't find that file. but all the files are there I just can't open that one window. Thanks, Sheila

Your new iMac comes with 90 days of phone support from Apple .... good idea to take advantage of it while you have it. In the US call 800-275-2273, or see this if outside the US.
Have you tried Safari or Chrome or Opera, just to see if you have the same PDF issue?
