Why wont my psd files open from Bridge into Photoshop

When I try to double click on a psd file is Bridge, it opens in some other image viewer... not Photoshop. Under File>Open With, there are a number of
possibilities, but none of them are PS. There's Fire Fox, and Microsoft Mail and Painter X but not Photoshop. I can open Raw files but not Psd's or
jepgs... What could possibly be wrong. I cannot find a preferance I've marked incorrectly.

First, I have never made any changes to this area in Preferences. When I saw the suggestion to check file associations in Bridge Pref., I looked through the file asssociations and mostly I found listed 'none beside most types,' but beside Psd, Tiff, and Jpegs it said, "Explorer Settings." Why in the heck would that be there? I clicked on that and noticed I could direct a search through my computer for something else, so I when straight for Adobe and on to Photoshop Cs5, and clicked OK. After that, I could open the psd's in Photoshop and under File>Open With, PScs5 was listed now as the defautl... YEA!... But when I tried the same with jpegs, it didn't work. I put in PHcs5, but they are opening in Camera Raw. Now while I could want that option, I don't want that as a default. I'm totally perplexed as to how this could be happening. I've been using Bridge since it was first introduced into PS, and I've never had a problem like this. I hope someone who is more educated in this area will please shed some light on this for me.
I'm in an advanced Digital Imaging class, and I asked my all knowing teacher and she was confused as well.
Thanks. 7SUS

Opening photo from bridge into photoshop converts to smart object

Instead of opening the psd-file normally from bridge into photoshop the file converts to smart object.
I used to work with CS3 where double-clicking in Bridge on a psd-file would open it in Photoshop. Now, when I double click in Bridge (CS6) it opens a "quick time pro" file, which I definitely don't want. When I use the right mouse to "place in Photoshop" it does so, but then automatically converts the file into a smart object, which I don't want either. What need I do to open a psd-file in Bridge as normal psd-file in Photoshop?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi C. Pfaffenbichler
yes, there is a "Photoshop Document" in the list, but it has not
association. when I click on the little arrow on that line it "searches"
and shows all the files in the "program X86" on the C-drive. but I don't
know what to associate it with, or said differently, I don't know what file
in "programX86" to associate it with.

Importing selected files from Bridge into Photoshop stack?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to run the "Load files into Stack" script from Bridge having selected your files in Bridge itself. There are work arounds but if this script can be run in this way it would save me alot of time.
Not sure if the script can be dropped into the a Bridge sub folder or whether or not Bridge can read jsx files? I do seem possible in the fact that some Photoshop scripts can be ran from Bridge but to my knowledge these are not jsx files.
Basically I just need that to run exactly the same way but be launched from Bridge into Photoshop with those selected files
Any help would be very appreciated.
Many thanks.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I know you can create stacks in Bridge by simply selecting the desired files and pressing ctrl G on the PC (command G on MAC?) I believe there is a forum dedicated to Bridge scripting. You might have better luck there.

Opening from LR4 into Photoshop

Is anyone else suddenly having issues with opening an adjusted image from LR4 into Photoshop, and the adjustments not showing up? Never had this problem, even in beta versions. I have checked "open in Photoshop with LR adjustments. Been using Lightroom since the original beta.

I believe there is a problem until a Photoshop update occurs. I make changes in LR
command E" to import to Photoshop when the dialogue box appears with this option "Render Using Lightrom" I choose it. It brings LR edited Photos inot PS with your changes.
Hope this works and I got it right, works for me.

Why won't renamed files open in Bridge?

Hi
I renamed a couple of folders and when I tried to open the folders from the folders panel in Bridge a dialog said they were missing or had been moved.After dragging the folders to the desktop, creating a new folder in Bridge and then dragging the contents back from the desktop, Bridge opened them with no problem. Does anyone have a clue how I can rename a folder without this problem?
Thank you

Well you did change the name, How is Bridge going to know?
What I would do is just drag the newly named folder back onto Bridge.

Why won't pdf files open from flash drive?

Some files I have on a flash drive will not open. Some error messages say file is damaged and cannot be repaired or cannot read (109) or internal error.

Damn. What about files that say "internal error"? Those files I have can open up, but some of the pictures and pages and text is missing on those files.

Raw files do not open from Lightroom into Photoshop 2014

I developed files in LR and trying to open them into PS 2014 CC, it launches the program but do not open. Any idea what to do?

Hi,
This is a bug resulting from an uninstall of the previous Ps CC version (14.x). We are working on a fix for this currently.
If you would like to resolve this before we can post the fix, you need to uninstall Ps CC 2014 (15.0) [you don't have to remove preferences when asked], and then reinstall.
Sorry for the hassle.
regards,
steve

Open Photoshop image from PDF into Photoshop and change cmyk text to 100% black

when I have a supplied PDF file that has cmyk text, I open the image in Photoshop but I don't know how to change the cmyk text (some very small and some large) to 100% Black. I used to know the short cut key to do this but I can't remember. I used to use the marque tool then use a short cut key that would knock the cmy out of the k. Can some one please tell me how I can achieve this in a flattened photoshop file opened from PDF into Photoshop. Thanks

One way to do this:
Use a hue/saturation adjustment layer, click the Colorize box and drag the Lightness slider to -100. The black will go to C:0, M:0 Y:0, K:100. I'm not aware of a shortcut for this, perhaps someone more informed could help there. You would only want to apply it to the text, clipped to a separate text layer ideally, but if your file is already flattened you could apply it via a selection/masking.

Why when I drag photo from bridge into existing document, it opens with an X through it? Most of my functions are then grayed out. Thanks for any help.

why, when I drag a picture from bridge into PS, to an existing document, I get N x THROUGH TH
E PICTURE AND MOST OF MY FUNCTIONS are grayed out?

It is opening as a smart object. Simply right click on the image in the layers panel and "Rasterize Layer" when you are finished placing and sizing the new image.

Why wont my PDF files upload to my website?

I have not been able to upload certain PDF files to my website. They upload to my (non-website) e-mail as attachments fine, but not to the wesbite. Other file formats, and very small 'test' PDFS upload fine, but ones over 2MB, whether 'locked' or not, just wont upload. The status bar gets about a tenth of the way across, then I get an error message.
Can anyone offer a solution?

It says "the document has features not supported in this reader" and I haven't been able to open it in literally anything except for on my friend's laptop, nothing on my tablet will open it and there isn't many things I can download on the tablet instead

Have you been able to open that PDF file with other PDF software, e.g. Adobe Reader XI?

Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here. Here are the details.
I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver and help from an earlier thread. In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted. If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available. It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine. Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems. Other times these tools simply stop working. When this happens seems random. For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped. Other times I've printed and the tools still worked. Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work. Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted. I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken. There just is no visible effect on the image. This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems. In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times.
More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card. I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here. It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too. So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card. Don't think it's the card. I bought a new one. It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having. Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back.
So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4? Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
Many thanks for any help.

Well, now I'm an idiot. I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
paintbrush worked fine on all files. I then left the image open I had just
painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
function using tablet mouse. Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine. So it's not a matter of any
sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
malfunction. It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
results. Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have. If there was a
malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
apps? Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver? You must've had a
clue to recommend this course of action. Now that we're here, what do you
suggest or should that be another thread?
By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
before this started.

Files won't open from Bridge to PS

I have been using CS5 since last year with no bother but suddenly I can't open a file from Bridge into PS, they keep opening in Quick Time.
I have looked in preferences/file association, but all the extensions have "none" beside them and when I try to enable them I keep getting a browse button but I don't know if this is correct and if so what am I browsing for? Can anyone please help. RAW files open in Camera Raw OK.

Have never used Lightroom so hard to say.
Since something happened to Bridge the same event could have affected Lightroom.
Since you tried holding Ctrl and opening Bridge but did not get a reset window if this happens again work with this until it works.
May have to reset preferences in Lightroom but do not know what the keystroke it for that. Might have to go the the Lightroom forum.

Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014. I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
Further details:
-photoshop cc and after effects cc.
-macbook pro retina
If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore
