Set Photoshop as default bitmap editor

Can I set Photoshop as default bitmap editor (right click on the library item) instead of Fireworks?
TIA

Thanks you for your reply. Right clicking on an image allows the "open with" option everywhere except Entourage.. Right clicking the image in Entourage only allows "open", not "open with" and then photoshop opens. In order to use Preview, I have to save the attachment to the desktop and then "open with" Preview. The odd thing is double clicking in Entourage used to open images in Previews automatically.

LR3 seems to be set as my "default" photo editor. Don't want that!

Can anyone tell me where I can change what my default photo editor to what I want. Each time I plug anything that MIGHT have a photo on it activates LR3 causing me to wait until it fully launches and then I have to cancel the import process and then go to file and exit.
My LR3 window is a little two large for the screen and I can't see the red X or the min. button or any other options. I also can't see/find the tools that should show up on the left side of the window. The screen resolution is set an the recommended for my computer and all other programs, but I guess I haven't tried to change it to resolve this issue.
If anyone can give me a suggestion to resolve the software opening without being commanded to, and how to see the tools, etc please let me know.
Thanks,
Scott

I have tried those. I got a tutorial on LR3 from Phil Steele, and when his screen is displayed it has different tools in a white background down the left side of the window. I am going to try calling tech support and see what they say. If anyone has another idea I'd appreciate a response,
Thanks,
Scott

How Can I Set Photoshop to Default Open the Most Recent Folder

Lately, Photoshop CC always opens a default folder-which is several clicks away from the folder I am using. How do I set it to default to the most recent open folder when I click "OPEN" ?

They would seem to be, but it's possible that they were released separately in the iTunes Store. Some apps are different but named the same (Angry Birds being a case in point). Not having any of those apps I can't say with any certainty. It's definitely not normal for iTunes to keep older versions.
If you're still on Mac OS X 10.5.6 as your profile indicates, update to 10.5.8 and the latest version of iTunes and see if that makes any difference.
Regards.

Setting Illustrator's default image editor? HEADACHE.

Today whilst at work, using Illustrator for the first time in a while, I wanted to edit an image (using the "edit original" option) on a linked object. However, rather than taking me to Photoshop CS3, it'd automatically took me to the Windows Image Previewer.
It was very frustrating and I lost at least an hour of labor trying to overcome the problem without having to import and export from Photoshop individually.
Where the hell do I edit the default image editor through Illustrator?

well, the HEADACHE was posted so long ago. i was in search of the same solution and i can finally reveal.
Here is the solution:
to open the image in your desired editor from adobe illustrator, first u need to go to the folder of the respective image and change the "open with" format of that image to adobe photoshop cs5, if you wish to open the image directly to photoshop from illustrator.
relink the file from illustrator. Its done. you can export the image directly to photoshop. You can do the same process for other desired editor also.

Setting forte as default java editor

ok I know this is a stupid question...but how do you configure forte to be your default java editor after it has already been installed on you machine?

If you are using Windows, go to MyComputer->Tools->Folder Options->File Types and associate .java files with Forte. The exact way to do this varies with Windows versions. You should be able to get help on it.

Problem setting PhotoShop Elements 11 as default ext editor

Don't know what I am doing wrong or not doing.
I had previously used Pixelmator as my ext editor, but have now installed PhotoShop Elements 11, and wish it to be the default exterior editor.
I have restarted the computer.
PhotoShop Elements does not show up in the toggle choice under iPhoto Preferences>Advanced -- only iPhoto and Pixelmator.
Suggestions? Thanks!

Select Pixelmator again and you'll be asked to select the app of your choice again. If you use iPhoto more than PSE 11 when you've selected PSE 11 you can reselect iPhoto. That will set iPhoto as the defauilt editor but let you use PSE 11 by control clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu.
This may also be of interest to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE reselect iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Can I set Photoshop as my default editor in "Photos"?

In iPhoto, I was able to set Photoshop elements as the default editor. I can't seem to do this with Apple Photos.

It's not possible. Apparently with the new app developers need to write an extension that hooks into Photos, and you're going to need to wait until they do that. In the meantime

Setting Photoshop CC 2014 as my "Default Program" to open JPEG files in Windows 7

I just installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 computer. I had set Photoshop as my "Default Program" to open up JPEG files. Now whenever I double-click a JPEG file, Photoshop CC will launch instead of Photoshop CC 2014. I have noticed that the executable files for all versions of Photoshop are "Photoshop.exe" (no wonder Windows gets confused). If I changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 to something like "Photoshop2014.exe" then Windows will let me choose the program as my "Default Program" to open up a JPEG, however this makes it impossible for me to open up files in Lightroom. Lightroom will default back to Photoshop CC.
I have changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 back to "Photoshop.exe" and renamed all the executable files for my legacy versions of Photoshop. This still does not work.
Do I need to make some types of change in the registry?

This is from the post at this site: Re: Adobe CS6 file associations are all messed up
Just change the directory to the correct EXE for cc 2014 and you should be good.

Here is a registy fix for Win7 machines to the file association problem.
This from TinusHDCA user:
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...

Set default text editor (no type, creator or extension)

I would like BBedit to be the default text editor not TextEdit.
I work in Terminal a lot and often encounter files that were sent to me by someone using Linux and have no type, creator or extension. I want these to open in BBedit not TextEdit.
The problem can be recreated like this:
Create an empty file in the Terminal like this:
%touch testfile
Select testfile in the Finder and set BBedit as the application to open this file. Click the "Change all" button to make this global.
I then get an error about there being not enough information. I'm given the option to update and I do.
Then double clicking on testfile does, in fact, open the file in BBedit.
Now the rub. If I then generate another file called testfile2 like this:
%touch testfile2
Testfile 2 opens in TextEdit when double clicked in the Finder.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure how to set a default for files like that. What I do for files that aren't cooperative like that is just have BBEdit (well, actually, TextWrangler for me) on the Dock and then just drag and drop them.
You could potentially use an AppleScript or shell script to set the creator code to 'R*ch' for a batch of files. Type and creator codes used to be the Mac's alternative to extensions, but they were unfortunately left behind in Mac OS X, since the rest of the computing world didn't understand them. There's still support for them hiding in the OS, though. Looks like there's a script that'll do the trick here:

Set Photoshop CS6 as default

I have lots of JPG files that are"sort of one-of. All I need to do is open, crop, and print. I am trying to set Photoshop CS6 as the default for opening JPG files. I got through the "Open with" process to specify C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64) bit/Photoshop.exe but it doesn't show up on the Open with list.
I have also been through the Control Pane > Default Programs > Set Acccociations which takes to the Open with window. I select there and get the same result; i.e., Photoshop CS6 never shows up on the list of programs.

Finally got it to work. Went to Bridge > Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations. Bridge showed everything as expected: i.e., Adobe Photoshop CS6 was the default for JPG files. When I had looked earlier, I said OK, that looks good. This time, just for kicks, I reset all the Dault Associations in Bridge.
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!, Photoshop CS6 now shows up in the Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Default Programs > Set Associations for all the file types listed in Bridge.
The Tech service guy insisted that my Computer was the problem (I own 7 computers). Installed CS6 on two others (same problem, same fix).
Only thing that I can think of is something is not quite right with the installation program on the CD that Adobe sent me.

Default HTML editor set through group policy

OK, this should be an easy one. I know where I can find the setting to change the default HTML editor though group policy for IE10. Do I need to have Microsoft Office installed on the server if I want to set it as Word? The only option
I have right now is Notepad and Office is not installed on the server that I created GPOs. Thank you!

Hi Erin,
>> Do I need to have Microsoft Office installed on the server if I want to set it as Word?
Based on my knowledge, we need to install Office on the server to do this. Besides, when we use Group Policy Preferences, please pay attention to F5-F8 function keys.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Enable and Disable Settings in a Preference Item
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754299.aspx
In addition, if we don't want to install Office on the server, we can try to configure the setting on a Windows 8/8.1 with both RSAT and Word installed or a member server 2012/R2 with GPMC and Word installed.
Best regards,

Photoshop Elements12 as external editor for iPhoto

How do I get IPhoto to use Photoshop Elements12 as external editor, when I can not select "Application" under the advance setting, as suggested. It shows PSE12, but the photo's do not open up in that application. The application opens, with no photo. What needs to be changed, and how do I do it?

CS4 Default Image Editor

Hello,
I am receiving a lot of emails with pictures attached. So I have set a program to view these files very fast (similar to Windows Fax/Image viewer). When I want to edit an Image within CS4 and click on "edit with external editor" the 'default' program above mentioned comes up instead of Photoshop. I know there"s a drop down menu and I can chose to open with Photoshop instead.
My simple question: can I tell CS4 that only Photoshop is the default image editor when I work within Indesign?
Thanks
Matt

Peter's right, but "image" covers a wide variety of different kinds of
files. I have .jpg set to open by default in the Windows Image viewer,
but .psd and .tif are set to open in Photoshop. I have .eps set to open
in a text editor, because I get eps files from all over the place, and
if I view it with a text editor I can usually figure out whether the eps
file came from Illustrator, or Photoshop, or some other source.
What I've never figured out about extensions is how to change the file
association for files that have no extension at all. I get a lot of Mac
files, many without extensions, and for some reason the default program
associated with extensionless files is Winamp.
