Would like Photoshop to open photos instead of Preview

How can I set it up so when I double click on a photo file, it will automatically open in Photoshop, instead of the Preview?
Thanks.

Hi
Control click or right click on an image file, a sub-menu appears, one of the options on the menu is 'Open With" with a sub-menu coming from that. On this sub-menu will be listed installed applications capable of opening the file, at the bottom of the menu is the 'Other' option, select this and you should be presented with a finder window that allows you to add the application you want to use to open those files, at the bottom right hand corner of the window is the 'Always Open With' option, select desired application and enable the option.

    Just bought Adobe Photoshop Ps , clicked on the icon in my Mac dock and am staring at a black page with a perimeter of symbols and a heading that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC  2014. I don't have a clue what I do next. I would like to transfer some photos from my iPhoto library. Where do I start?

    Photoshop does not transfer files nor import files. It can open files from any place that finder can access for files.
    This is the normal process:
    You need to log into https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html Download Center
    Select the app you would like to start with
    The Creative Cloud manager will install first.
    When done installing, the Creative cloud (adobe manager) should open in the middle of your screen.
    If no apps automatically start installing then click on Apps
    Scroll down to the app you want to install and click the install button
    Once the manager says it is done, you can start your app like you normally do with any other app.

    I have been sent a .pages document and would like to extract the photos included in the document as jpegs (need to edit on photoshop and put back in), is this possible? can't figure out how to do it.

    I'm going to answer my own question:
    Easy steps
    Locate the document in the Finder.
    Control/Right-Click on its icon.
    Select Show Package Contents
    All images and embedded objects appear in ‘Data’ folder

    Select (highlight) the file in Finder and then use the Finder File menu Get Info (or Command I) and in the Open With section of the Get Info choose the application you want to open the file. Another method is to right-click the file in Finder.

  • Iphoto doesn't ask me if i would like to keep the photos i import on my camera or if i would like to delete them? how do i get it to ask? newest version of iphoto. iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    Using OSX 10.9.4 and want to have photoshop as my default for photos instead of Preview. Any suggestions?

    In the Mac Finder, select the icon of any of your photo files and do a Get Info (Command i) on it. Then select the application you want to open your photo files, then Click on Change All.
    You'll need to do this once for an icon of each file type, i.e. one on a JPEG file, one on a TIFF, one for PSD, one for raw files, etc.

    As  to iPhoto
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

  • I would like to move my photos in iPhoto to my NAS?

    I would like to move my photos in iPhoto to my NAS. 
    Some state simply drag and drop it then point iPhoto to the new Location
    quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive
    Some say it isn't possible.
    Unless the NAS is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) you will not be able to run the iPhoto library on it 
    I am not particularly fussed about other users seeing it, I just want it off my iMac?  I am using iphoto 9.5.1.  its a synology DS213J NAS.
    thanks,
    ooops think i am in the wrong section, if someone can move it then great. apologies.

    for anyone else reading this, this is what I was told in the other forum.
    iPhoto is problematic with referenced original files, because iphoto has no tools to recover from broken references, but Aperture has been designed to handle referenced images and libraries distributed across several drives well and has tools to fix broken references.
    But both, iPhoto and Aperture, are not network databases.
    Apple says:  Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
    Putting your originals on a network storage will make Aperture slower, and you are risking library corruption by transmission errors. The safest and option, and the solution with the quickest access to your original files will be a directly connected drive.

  • HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer?  I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC

    Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer?  I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see your photos on any device using your ID and photo stream.
    If you want to see them in a web browser you need to create a shared photo stream album and make it public.

  • I have lost my iphone4s and I would like to recovery my photos that do not share, it is possible?

    Hi, I have stollen and I would like to recovery my photos, but I think that they are not share, it is possible? That pictures are not from my backup, they were took before a backup

    Did you have Photo Stream enabled on the phone?
    If so, you can recover photos from the last 30 days.
    If not then they are gone unless you recover your phone.
