PS won't open image from Bridge

If I double click on any psd file or select "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS5" in Bridge, it will start up Photoshop but it just sits there without opening the file.
I've checked the file associations and everything looks good. It seems to know that it needs to open Photoshop but Photoshop doesn't seem to know to open the file. Running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro with 6GB RAM, PS Ver. 12.0.1.
Any help will be appreciated.

Further clarification on this problem:
Double-clicking on a *.psd filename in Finder starts up Photoshop CS5 but does not open the file.
I have ensured that all *.psd files are opened with "Adobe Photoshop CS5.app" in the Mac Spotlight utility.
Not sure if this is related but Photoshop does not display any Preview images for *.psd files in it's Open->File dialog. Bridge, on the other hand, does.
So, the problem does not appear to be with Bridge. It seems to be something related to Photoshop itself or some other configuration issue?

Unresponsive cc photoshop opening image from bridge

OK, just signed up for the cc. I have just tried to open a PSD from Bridge into Photoshop and Photoshop opens, but the image doesn't load, and, and Photoshop is all locked up. What's going on and how do I get it to work?

Hi TNJED,
I have moved this discussion to the Photoshop General forum, where you should be able to get more help on this issue.

Cannot open images from Bridge

I have installed and updated both PhotoshopCC and BridgeCC.
I can display the images in Bridge. However, whenever I double-click on them I get the following error message'
"Windows cannot find C:\Programfiles\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 bit). Make sure you typed the name correctly and the try again." I can open the files from PhotoshopCC without going to Bridge.
What can I do?
This may be related to the above problem: PhotoshopCC does not seem to set the file associations.

I deleted and reinstalled Photoshop CC. Everything seems to be ok now.I think I have solved the problem. If you have Photoshop CS 6 in your system and then install Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC overwrites all pertinent entries in the file association. The problem comes when you then de-install the older version. The uninstall procedure erases all the file association emtries, although they are labeled as CC. This leads to the problem desribed in my first post.One can solve it by uninstalling and then re-installing Photshop CC. What seemed to be a "Bridge" problem is relly a "Photoshop" problem. If you want only one Photoshop version on your system, uninstall the older version before you install Photoshop CC.

Unable to open image from bridge to ps

Am running Windows 7 64 bit, with CS5 64 bit.
When I try and open a tiff file in Bridge to Photoshop, no dice.
Control/O does nothing.
"Open with" wants to open in Internet Explorer 9 (default).
No trouble opening from Bridge to ACR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Noel,
Thanks so much for replying.
Under Bridge>pref>file type assoc. are listed three items:    Internet Explorer 9.00
                                                                                                       Com surrogate 6.1
                                                                                                       Brouse
"Brouse" goes right to the "MY documents" folder, in which are listed many folders but not Photoshop.
I think I see light at the end of the tunnel. Can you help me find Photoshop?
Jane (hopeful now)

CS 5 won't open images from Lightroom 3

Hi,
I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, and I've been using Lightroom 3 since it came out. The installation went fine. After working on some images in Lightroom 3.3, I tried to open them in CS5 12.02, and strange things started to happen. Some times the images open, some times they don't. This applies to NEFs, TIFFs, and PSDs. Sometimes when I try to open an image from my Lightroom catalog, CS5 mysteriously opens small jpegs of photos that are not even in my catalog. In fact, they are images I don't even recognize and did not even know were on my computer.
I called Adobe Customer Support. They were helpful, and they had me set CS5 as my external editor as well as being the primary editor. They also helped me reset my preferences for both Lightroom and CS5. This seemed to work, but when I opened Lightroom and CS5 the next day, the problem started happening again, even when I open images in CS5 using the second external editor.
I spent over and hour on the phone with Customer Support the first time, and I'm trying to get help elsewhere before I call again.
I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8 with 4 GB of RAM.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

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 won't open image from lightroom

When I try to export an image from Lightroom to Photoshop (CC) Photoshop opens, but the image doesn't.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Elements 9 shows up as the Default when opening images from CC Bridge.

I haveElements 9 and CC on the same computer. When I click to open images from Bridge, 9 is shown as the Default and CC is not shown. How do I eliminate Elements 9 as the Default? Thanks!

Bridge preferences>File Type Associations. You'll need to change it for each file extension.

Lines on Image when opening files from bridge to PS4

I just installed PS4 and when I open an image from Bridge CS4 to PS4 the image in PS4 has horizontal and vertical lines and strange colors. I have contacted tech support numerous times to no avail with a solution. I still have PS3 extended installed on my computer and don't know if this might be contributing to the problem.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks

OpenGL is disabled in PS Preferences.
When you have done everything recommended in previous posts, does the problem persist?

Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
Thanks again.

CS6 won't open images

I can't get images to open in CS6. Get the following message. "Adboe Photoshop CS6 stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working." Reistalled several times. This error also happens with Elments 10. Installed older verson of Elements 7 and this works fine. HP ENVY 64 bit, plenty of ram, gigs etc. Spent several hour with HP support, checking system, no virus's etc. Can open images in Bridges...Camera Raw

I'm just suggesting that I have to look at all here...that's all. I' m looking for help, trying to resolve an issue has not been changed on my part since I install CS6 7 month ago along with NIK, no updates, no nothing. You guys got plug - in on CS6 to run third party software, that's why it's there...Correct? Somewhere, other than yourself, someone at Adobe must have come across these issues with plug-ins and have some sort of guidance. I read all the issues with CS6 and they are not all related to third party software. So don't come like to me like Adobe doesn't have issues with a $675.00 program and you all "walks on water." It always the "others guys fault. I expect support. for Adobe, NIK, Epson and all the other folks That I buy from I'm a photographer, not a software expert. Expect Adobe to help resolve an issue, not blame others....Hope I', clear on this. One way or the other I'll get this resolved with or without Adobe's help.
And if I do run another plug in and it doesn't work then for sure I would expect Adobe to replace the CS6

Problem trying to batch resize images from bridge.

I am trying to batch resize images from bridge. I am on windows 7 desktop and using CC, I select the images in bridge, tool bar>tools>photoshop>image processor. After doing this, photoshop CC opens but no images open.

open photoshop, open actions pallette, click new action (windows > actions (or Alt+f9)), click record, open your image, resize it, click stop action.
then use file> automate > batch
the action you just recorded will be ready to use, select the folder with all your photos (wise to work on a duplicated folder incase you mess up)
run the action. wait while photoshop opens and resizes the images one by one.
check in folder if the images resized how you expected.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

Placing images from Bridge CC breaks Indesign Doc

This seems to be intermittent but it's occuring only when I place images from Bridge to an InDesign document.
I've experienced this bug before with InDesign but now it seems to happen more often when I drag an image from Bridge to an InDesign doc.
After doing this I'm unable to Save the document or undo/redo anything. I know others have experienced this same bug. The only way I was able to fix the document was to close InDesign (and lose any unsaved changes) and then reopen the document. Then I create a new document and move all of the pages of my document to the new doc and resave it. This seems to stop the problem from happening.
This is a serious bug: a) It's hard to pin down what causes it but it seems to be permission related to the document b) there is NO way to recover your unsaved changes, you can't copy your objects to a new document and save it as once the program breaks you can't save ANYTHING.
Has anyone had success permanantly fixing this? Or run into it at all?

Windows or MacOS?
Because in Windows you can circumvent this by using the Explorer. I used to drag 'n drop images (ID CS6) and other files all the time - nothing like your problem so far.

Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.
