Trying to open a TIF file in 32 bit PS, keeps opening in 64 bit

I have tried changing file type associations in Windows, changing file type associations in Bridge, changing the registry, right clicking and selecting open with, and nothing works. The only way I can do it is to drag my file to the 32 bit PS icon. How do I make 32 bit the default version that opens?
Windows 7 64 bit
PS CS6
Thanks

I was just asking to verify that they were correct.
Windows can get a bit wonky with executable files that have the same name. When you manually try to direct a file to open in a program other than the one it already has set up, if they have the same name, it will just go for the original anyway. I don't really know of a way to force it to work. However, you can set this up in Bridge and from my experience it is entirely dependable. But the Bridge File Type Associations have no control over Windows Explorer.
Have you tried double-clicking the Tiff files in Bridge and have them open in the 32-bit version of Photoshop?

    If you are trying to install the updated Epson scanner driver when you get this message, it will be due to the installer not being digitally signed - which is odd if it is an updated driver. To get past this block, which is a function of Gatekeeper, hold down the Control button and click the installer. A pop-up window will appear. Select Open from the menu. You will now get the option to install the driver software.

  • Unable to Open a .tif file

    I can open .pdf's fine. I'm using 9.0
    OS - Vista Ultimate
    Have admin rights
    just can't open a .tif file, says the file is corrupt, but others can open it with no problem using the same 9.0

    I ran into a similar problem with outlook and Adobe Reader.  When recieving an attachment with a Tiff file the computer tried to open the file in Adobe reader and reader threw up the error message shown in this thread.  I reinstalled outlook and adobe and check to make sure that windows file association was setup correctly.  Finally I browsed to the folder in outlook where attachements are stored.  For more information look here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878
    I browsed to that folder and Tiff files were associated with Adobe reader in that folder.  Once I fixed the association problem the attachments opened up in outlook without issue.

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

    I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

    Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
    Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
    In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
    Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

  • When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.

    When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.
    With new files opening as a layer and not a background I'm not able to create multiple layers and it wont let me convert the layer to the background.
    How did this happen. I used PS just yesterday and had no problems. Today my computer did mandatory updates and now this.

    Yes. You are using the Ellipse Tool's Pixel option. So it is laying down pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.
    Choose the Shape option:
    Also Layer menu > New Layer creates layers and the curled paper at the bottom of your Layers palette also creates a New Layer. I hope those work.

  • Photoshop CS6 suddenly does not open a tif-file

    ... which I just created in the same Photoshop CS6 half an hour ago. The error message when opening says: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil diese Datei nicht mit dieser Version von Photoshop kompatibel ist." (could not open because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop). The tif-file has more than 10 layers and is about 150 MB big. There was absolutely no error while saving the file in the first place. I already tried opening in 64 and in 32 bit version.
    How can this be and how can I get back or repair my file?
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Try opening it in another program like CorelDraw or a simple image viewer like IrfanView.

  • CS3 cannot open original TIF file after "save as" Photoshop PDF

    Mac OS X 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1), 2.5 GB RAM, and the files are saved to the afp file server (Windows Server 2000 SP4 running Services For Macintosh). When saving a TIF file as a PDF the original TIF file cannot be opened again.
    Once Photoshop starts doing this I have to restart the system before the corruption problem goes away. The problem with that is if I do not catch it, I might convert 20 or so files in a day before I catch the problem. Once the TIF files are corrupt, the only thing I can do is restore from backup (long process) or save as again from the PDF file to TIF to place in my InDesign file. When I open the original TIF file I get an error: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file." OR "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing a TIFF file."
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Justin,
    >and the files are saved to the afp file server
    If you are saving directly to the server, that can be trouble, particularly if IT is clueless or not vigilant about network issues and maintenance. Adobe specifically warns against working across your network. Please see the FAQ and numerous topics on this "problem".
    Basically, drag-copy the file to your local drive. Work locally. Save locally. Drag-copy the completed file back to the server.
    Let us know if working as I've just described "solves" the problem.

  • How do I open my TIF file into Camera Raw from Bridge?

    Trying to follow a tutorial on editing an HDR image in photoshop. When instructed to open the TIF image into Camera Raw from Bridge, I don't get the option when I right click. What is going on here?

    I was talking about an advanced action, which is not loaded externally but executed on runtime (will be translated to AS). So this will only work if you can pass the value of the variable containing the slide number you want to the SWF. For that you'll need JavaScript and I'm not that acquainted with JS. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's blog:
    http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/
    In Captivate you create an advanced action to be triggered on entering the first slide, that will jump to the wanted slide number. If you can figure out how to pass the slide number, could help with the advanced action, I know them rather well:

  • Problem opening large .Tif files

    Hi...this problem is really frustrating. Preview will not open some large .tif
    files (they're saved on Photoshop CS5 on a PC, with lzw compression).
    The program just displays a grey screen...no error message.
    When I email the images, no preview appears in Mail.
    Is this a known problem with Preview in Snow Leopard, and can I do
    anything about it?
    Any help appreciated....

    OK, I can verify that the file doesn't display in Safari or Preview, so it's not just you. From the error messages in the log, it seems that the built-in rendering routines see the file as corrupt. It does display correctly in QuickTime Player 7, GraphicConverter, OpenOffice.org, and LightZone. You'll either have to use another application to view the files, or get the author to save them in a different format. You can also file bug reports with Adobe and Apple, for all the good that will do.

  • An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF. Trying to convert a .tif file

    I'm new to this conversion system.  I tried several times to convert a .tif file to a .pdf file.  I got the same message every time: "An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF".  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi stefan235235,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble combining PDF files using Adobe PDF Pack. Does the error occur with all files that you try to combine, or just a select few?
    Make sure that the files you're trying to combine aren't secured, password protected, 3D, or part of a PDF portfolio, as these types of PDFs can't be combined.
    If you're combining supported file types and still getting that error, please try the following:
    Log out and clear the cache. Then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf using a supported web browser (see  System requirements | Acrobat.com).
    Try combining smaller groups of files, to see if you can narrow the error down to a specific file or files.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • I encountered a bit of difficulty opening a .Tif file which was saved in CS5?

    This problem occured three times before the file finally did open in CS6.

    I am using an hp laptop dv7t, it runs win 7 64bit and has an intel graphics co-processor.
    The machine has a total of 6 gig of ram. 
    The processor is an i5 cpu M460 @ 2.53GHz.
    The fact that the system had difficulty opening the .tif  it has opened without further problems after re-boot several times.  I've opened approximately 50more .tif files without incident.

  • Cannot open old tif files

    When I try to open  old,  saved  TIF files in CS6, the followingt message appears, "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe'.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again".

    Open Bridge. Ctrl + K to go to Preferences or Edit > Preferences
    Choose 'File Type Associations' from the left side bar
    Look for TIFF format listed. On the right side of that, I guess it will show Photoshop CS5 for you. Click the dropdown, see if Photoshop CS6 is available as an option. If yes, click it, click OK to save. If Photoshop CS6 is not available, click 'Browse' from dropdown, look for Photoshop.exe in Program Files\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe. Select that and now the dropdown will show that. Click OK to save.
