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.

  • How to setting Adobe Photoshop CS6 to default again?

    Hello, I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and last night I encounter some issue (after I scan my computer using some anti virus software).
    after running the scanning, my Photoshop work differently, like anytime I drag some pictures into it, it will keep notice me about scaling, every time I convert a layer to a smart object, then edit content it works really differently (usually I erase some part from the layer, and the parts that was deleted will be transparent because by default the background are transparent, but now when I try to erase some part of the picture, it will become white, as the background color are white). Then every time I put a new picture on a new layer, after put it in his position, I can't freely edit it size(resize) even if the layer wasn't locked.
    Can anyone tell me what happening? and how I can make my Photoshop working like usually(already tried to erase the .psp data from adobe photoshop CS6 setting folder, but the new default that it create will be the same)?
    Thanks

    Try either System Restore or a reinstall.

  • Unable to choose Photoshop CS6 as default app for jpegs, Win7

    Suddenly I'm unable to choose Photoshop CS6 as the default "Open with" app in Win7 when I'm attempting to open jpegs.
    I updated Adobe Application Manager and it says Photoshop CS6 is installed and I'm able to open Photoshop CS6 without getting the "trial version" error any more -- although that was a  problem until I updated AAM.

    I know exactly the problem you are having and exactly how to fix it! (For Windows 7 and possibly others) I spent an hour trying to figure it out, and it is all because of bad registry values.
    Cause:
    First off, it is caused by uninstalling a previous version of Photoshop and then installing CS6. (But lingering folders and registry values still remain)
    Symptoms:
    When you try to change a file type association with the Open With dialogue, Photoshop CS6 never appears! Choosing "Other Programs" does not bring up Photoshop CS6, and Browsing will not add it to the list!
    Workaround: (REAL FIX)
    Click on the Start button.
    Select the search programs and files. (You may need to enable this search field if you have it disabled.)
    Type regedit (regedit.exe will appear only after typing regedit completely)
    Select regedit.exe.
    Click yes to allow access to it.
    Be very careful with the following steps as editing the registry is dangerous!!
    Navigaate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command
    Double click on Default.
    In the value data section you may notice a path to the previous application that doesn't exist anymore (root of problem)
    Change it to the path of CS6 folder but keep the extra characters beyond Photoshop.exe
    Hit ok. Then close out of this window.
    NOW Photoshop CS6 will appear in the list! Enjoy!

  • 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

  • Making Photoshop CS6 my default opener over Photoshop CC

    I had CS6 first and now that I installed the Photoshop CC it is the default option, but I don't want it to be.  I looked in preference but couldn't find how to do it.  Please help!  Thanks

  • Setting Photoshop CC as default

    Since installing Mac OS 10.9 and Photoshop CC, my .psd files do not want to open with Photoshop CC.
    If I open the "Get Info" window on a .psd file, I can set "Open with” to Adobe Photoshop CC for an individual file, but if I click “Change All” and click “Continue” in the pop-up box, it just goes back to “Adobe CS6.app”, no matter what I do. Even files created in PS CC revert to opening with CS6.Very frustrating. I’m loath to deinstall CS6 at this point, and not convinced that will help.
    Any ideas? 

    I share that suspicion.
    Yes, repaired permissions, zapped PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot; all to no avail.

  • 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...

  • How to set a Photoshop version the default application when two versions are installed?

    I have two versions of photoshop installed on my Mac. Double clicking on the Photo in Bridge CS6, the photo is opened in Photoshop CS5 (Photoshop CS5 (default). Haw can I set Photoshop CS6 as the default application?

    Thanks for your prompt replay, I had already done what you suggested, but it does not work. When you open in Bridge File>Open with you still see Photoshop CS5 (default) and the file is opened automatically with Photoshop CS5 and not CS6 unless you specifically choose Open with Photoshop CS6. I vaguely remember that I found once somewhere "would you like Photoshop xxx to be your default option? but I cannot remember where and I cannot find it anymore

  • Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX

    Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?

    Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
    You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
    You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
    Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
    This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
    You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

  • I can't set the photoshop CS6 as a default program to open jpg file on my windows 7 64bit computer?

    I reintalled 3 times for CS6 but the default program associated with jpg file still is unknown application.
    I try to change the default program, I can see the photoshop cs6 icon at the Adobe program folder.
    But just can be selected.

    I would recommend contacting Adobe Tech Support for this as playing with registry is quite dangerous , your computer may crash.
    Still if you want to try , first create the System Restore point and Backup your Registry , just incase something goes wrong.
    In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name.
    Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.

  • How can I set CameraRAWOpenOptions using Javascripts in Photoshop CS6?

    I have been unable to set CameraRAWOpenOptions in scripts that worked fine for me in Photoshop CS5 but now do not work in Photoshop CS6.  There are no error messages when I run the scripts, and they appear to finish okay, but the images come out unadjusted.  Below is the essence of how I'm trying to do it.  When I run these scripts in Extendscript (CS5 or CS6 does not make a difference), Photoshop CS6 simply uses its own default (saved) settings, but CS5 would allow the overrides.  I did change the default settings in CameraRAW in CS6 to use the default lens correction profiles available from the EXIF data, and I'm wondering if that rendered the script unable to change any of the rest of the settings.
    Here's how I have the code:
    var RawOptions = new CameraRAWOpenOptions;
    RawOptions.settings=CameraRAWSettingsType.CUSTOM;
    RawOptions.exposure=+2.00;
    RawOptions.vignettingAmount = 0;
    RawOptions.vignettingMidpoint = 0;
    RawOptions.contrast = 50;
    RawOptions.saturation = 0;
    RawOptions.shadows = 0;
    RawOptions.luminanceSmoothing = 0;
    var JPGopts = new JPEGSaveOptions;
    JPGopts.quality = JPEGquality;
    //Perform the loop through the files
    app.open(testListing[0], RawOptions, false);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    for (var nfile = nstart; nfile < nstop; nfile++)
        app.open(testListing[nfile], RawOptions, false);
        FnameSave = new File(SavePath+"/"+testListing[nfile].name);
        app.activeDocument.saveAs(FnameSave, JPGopts, false, Extension.UPPERCASE);
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

    I would collapse and expand the toolbar windows by using the double arrow icon?
    Doing this will almost give you your full screen?
    Or you can hit 'Tab' and it hides your tools when you don't need them?

    How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
    I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

    In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • Default actions folder in Photoshop CS6

    I installed Photoshop CS6 on my iMac and MacBook.  The MacBook has a "Default Actions" folder in the actions panel with 13 default actions.  This folder did not appear on my iMac following install.  However, my iMac has several image and text effect actions installed that did not install on my iMac.  Would like to have the Default Actions on my iMac and text and image effect actions on my MacBook.  Not sure how to do this.
