Pressing 'O' in mini bridge review mode doesn't open file in Photoshop

New Photoshop user here and going through the basics.
When using Review Mode in mini bridge I can cycle through the images using left/right arrows and open the image in front in Camera Raw using the 'R' key, but pressing the 'O' key does not open the file in Photoshop as I understood it was supposed to. Am I missing something obvious? Pressing the 'O' key does nothing at all.
Using Photoshop CS6.
Thanks for any tips!

Gene,
Unfortunately this did not do the trick.
I've got the exact same issue on two systems, both Windows 7 based with fresh installs of CS6 and Lightroom 4.
Spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with Adobe support and they are scratching their heads as well. For now looks like using review mode in mini bridge would be a great way to open up files you want to work on, but in reality it doesn't work. The tech I've dealt with at Adobe is having the exact same issue as well.
Not quite ready for primetime...

Edit in Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 3.2 doesn't open file in Photoshop

Hi,
I've just made a complete fresh install of Lightroom 3.2 and Photoshop CS5 extended on my new iMac (OS 10.6.4, x64)
Now I'm trying to edit raw-files in Photoshop CS5.
Normally a popup should appear to ask in which format the photo should be opened in PS.
But no popup is shown, Photoshop starts immediately, but without actually opening the photo.
If I configure Photoshop as secondary editor this problem does not appear, and everyting works fine.
But in that case I miss the option for a secondary editor like for example DxO...
What to do?
Regards,
Menno

Menno,
I can't help you with your primary problem, as I'm not a CS5 user.
But regarding your second concern with having CS5 as a secondary editor and therefore not having the option for additonal external editors:
You can have as many external editors as you like, e.g. CS5 as one, DXO as one, Nik Viveza as one and so on. All you have to do is create different External Editor Presets in Preferences for each desired external editor.

Double clicking on file doesn't open file in Photoshop

I've tried all the well-known fixes for this and they don't work. I'm on a Power Mac G5, 2MHz, running OS X 10.4.11, and Photoshop CS. I've been through the fixes for "can't open in Photoshop from double clicking file on desktop"-reinstalling Photoshop, reinstalling, then trashing the new Photoshop, and physically moving "Adobe Unit Types" into the "Scripting Additions" folder. There was a time when that worked. not any more. What happens now is: I double click on a Photoshop Tiff file, never touched by Preview. Result: the OS opens the file in Preview. So I trash all copies of Preview. this is driving me crazy. Try again. The OS, this time, opens the file in Colorsync Utility! I've never heard of it. So I trash all copies of Colorsync Utility. Try it again. The OS opens the Photoshop file in Illustrator. It appears that no power on earth will force the OS to open the Photoshop file in Photoshop. nothing will work. Can anybody help?

Birck - as the others say you don't need to and shouldn't trash the other programs - I would recommend re-installing them asap. What you need to do is find the PS file you want to open and do a right-click over it and select 'get info' then find the 'open with' drop down menu and choose Photoshop. Once selected also click the 'change all' button below and close the get info window. Now all your PS files should open in the correct program :)

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log in

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW. However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW. How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?

Just that one project, or any project? Can you create new projects?

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
Quicklook works fine.
Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

How can I check the open-mode of an opened file from the file refNum?

How can I check the open-mode of an opened file from the file refNum?
Especially whether a file is opened as read-only or write-only? I haven't found any VI in the panel with file VIs.
Thanks for any hints!

Check this post. Probably you can use a kernel.dll call.

Textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

What OS are you on?
Are you certain it is not compatible with this OS?
Is there an error message presented?
What type of file are you trying to open?
TextEdit is a built in app, shipped with the OS, it can't be downloaded from the store, have you copied TextEdit from a backup or is it trying to run from a backup disk or other copy of the OS - Spotlight can sometimes find & try to run other versions. Eject any backup disks & retry.
Try opening directly from /Applications (the Finders 'Go menu > Applications' will take you there).
If you need to restore the App you will need to have it in a backup or use the OS installer.

Windows 7/Bridge won't open files in Photoshop CS6 (cloud)

I recently got the cloud CS6 and installed photoshop cs6, then uninstalled CS5.5. But now, Windows Explorer cannot seem to find Photoshop. If I try to associate the default for any file (.jpeg, .tiff, etc.) with Photoshop, Photoshop does not show up on the list of programs. I must browse to find Photoshop exe (CS6 64). I click okay, but it continues to open the file in Windows picture viewer and to associate that file type with Windows Picture Viewer.
If I right-click on the file, it does exactly the same thing. I must browse to Photoshop.exe. But it still opens the file in Windows Picture Viewer.
Fix 1 Try Bridge Associations: I opened Bridge CS6->Edit>Preferences and made sure the files were associated with photoshop. But, when I then try to open the files from within Bridge, I get the message Windows cannot find c:Program Files\Adobe\AdobePhotoshop CS4 (64Bit)\Photoshop.exe. (my emphasis) But I haven't had CS4 installed for years. I did not have this problem when I installed CS5. So now I can't open files from either Windows explorer or Adobe Bridge.
Fix 2 Fix the Registry: So, I opened Regedit and went to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" . Don't know why the install left this at CS5.1. It SHOULD have changed it. EUREKA! Windows now recognizes Photoshop CS6 and I can associate files with it as usual. But I had to manually associate the native .psd file with Photoshop. along with .jpeg, .tiff and other image files.
No Fix for Bridge: But back in Bridge CS6, it's not so rosy. I still get Windows cannot find c:Program Files\Adobe\AdobePhotoshop CS4 (64Bit)\Photoshop.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. If I try File--Open with--Photoshop (default), I get the same message. Clearly, Bridge thinks Photoshop CS4 is the default, and I don't know where to change that association. Preferences does not allow browsing. So Bridge is pretty much useless.
So what should I do about Bridge?
Bridge CS6 still won't open Photoshop CS6. It's still looking for CS4. I thought about reinstalling Bridge, but when I try to download it, the cloud tells me it is is already installed and won't download. I am a little worried about uninstalling it and trying again. Maybe, I'll end up with no Bridge at all. I am beginning to regret my decision to go cloud. Don't know if the install mess is just cloud or noncloud versions as well. Doesn't seem to apply to all programs either.
Postcript:
I had to go to the registry and manually change CS5.1 to CS6 for InDesign and Illustrator as well, and then manually associate .indd and .ai files with those programs. What a pain this is. Obviously, the install program didn't change the normal associations to CS6. Left them with the CS5, and then when I uninstalled that--as anyone would normally do--it lost the association completely.

Thank you David__B! Your suggestion worked perfectly. All the files are correctly associated in both Explorer and Bridge. And it didn't take all that long, mostly uninstalling. The Adobe App Manager very efficiently installs several different programs with very little fuss.
I am not sure, but I think it may have been an old plug-in to Bridge back in the CS4 era that I didn't even know I had that was causing the Bridge file association problems. Uninstalling CS5 after installing CS6 seems to be causing Win Explorer problems, not just for me. Based on this experience, I would recommend that anyone with several previous installations of Adobe CS do the following:
Save your plugins and preference files in a back up file.
Uninstall all the old adobe software.
Run the the cleaner you suggested. (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html).
Install CS6 programs from the CCloud or wherever.
Add your plug-ins back in as you need them one at a time to be sure they work.
If you have already installed CS6 and are having file association problems, just uninstall everything and start at step one. You probably won't save time trying to fix the registry and manually associate file types--- yada yada yada.
Steps 1-6 will give you a nice clean install and salvage only good plug-ins.

InDesign tries, but doesn't open files on server.

When using a finder window to open CS3 and CS4 InDesign files from our server, I get the opening effect but not the open file. I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac. Double-clicking will not work, dragging the file into the application icon will not work, only the File > Open menu does the trick and opens the file. Note: double-clicking and dragging into the app icon does work for local files. Any fixes for the server file issue? Thanks!

i have this problem too at random, i click on the indesign cs4 file in the snow leopard finder, indesign actually makes that temporary whatever it is in the finder but the layout pages don't open. my workaround is to quit indesign and start again and this usually works. but i am wondering if there is any other solution? when the file doesn't open it doesn't help to try to open it through the file menu. so i just quit and start again. (this may be a feature of indesign since sometimes at random the font sizing buttons don't work.)

ICal doesn't open files (my own music files) when an event's time arrives.

Hi apple community, I have a problem. I use to remember things by creating events in iCal with a music file added, but now I can´t, I have updated my iMac to Mavericks and iCal only remembers me an event but doesn't open the songs (with iTunes). (Some times I use events with music files to wake me up jejeje). How can I solve it? Thanks.

I'd like to comment too here. I used to wake up all the time to music played in iCal, and before 10.8, I also used Applescript iCal events (all of this on my late 2011 Macbook Pro) in place of automator workflows. Since updating, my alarms simply haven't gone off, iCal not opening iTunes the way it should. I would be eager to find a solution.

Cs6 Bridge will not open files in Photoshop cs6, get error message pasted below

Windows cannot find C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Photoshop.exe
I installed Photoshop CS6 Upgrade (64bit and 32Bit) to my PC which ran CS5 Extended. When I deleted CS5, Bridge
stopped opening files, whether I double clicked on the file or did Open with: I get the same error message.

By uninstalling CS5 you have corrupted file associations. THey want to open in CS5 now and it is not on machine.
You can either unistall CS6, do a script cleaner, and reinstall.
Or you can change an entry in the registry. Here is instructions from a previous post.
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 .NEF files in Bridge and converting them to .jpeg files for Photoshop CS3

I currently have CS3 on one of my computers, and CS2 on my other. I cannot open my .NEF files into Photoshop, even after I try to convert them through image processor. It tells me that it cannot be done. On one of my computers, I cannot even open the images in Bridge. I know that my programs are outdated. Do I need to download something to make it all compatible and begin to work?

Which Nikon camera are the NEF files from?

Bridge Problem opening files in Photoshop CS6

CS6 Bridge appears to work fine, however when I try to open a file into Photoshop CS6 I get a flag saying it cannot find Photoshop CS4? Any ideas?

For your info, and others, this does not work in situations were the file associations become corrupted by uninstalling a previous version. The mechanism for corruption is not quite clear to Adobe, but somehow the registry for file associations gets reset to the version that was deleted. Since the normal methods of changing file associations, that you mention, do not affect the registry file in question, the problem still remains. Therefore one needs to wipe files with the Adobe Script Cleaner or go in and change the registry.
