I have a HP Pavilion laptop, with Windows 7 as the OS. I have Elements 7 installed on this laptop. Before I install CS6, I'd like to know about the Associations...Â
1 - When I install the program, can I do it without the Associations? I'd like to be able to continue using my Windows to open all my photos.
Â
2 - Do I have to use the Bridge thingy to be able to use my PS Editor?
Â
3 - Is it ok to have Elements 7 and CS6 in one laptop?
Â
4 - How many computers can the CS6 be installed in? I have 2 more laptops and I'm thinking of getting another one.
Photoshop CC: PSD File Associations revert to CS6 in Finder>Get Info - Mac. File associations in Bridge manually updated and are working, but Finder still reverts to CS6 when changed in the Get Info window of a .psd file.
I upgraded CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design & Web Premium. Most of my preferences (layout, etc) were imported correctly from CS5. When I right-click (PC, Windows 7) on the Bridge CS6 thumbnail, and click on 'Open with ', there was a collection of Microsoft programs (COM Surrogate 6.1, Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0, Publisher 12.0, Windows Live Photo Gallery 15.4), and no Photoshop (Default). When I used the WIndows file-associations program, and Photoshop CS6 was associated with *.psd files, then it appeared in the 'Open with ...' menu as Photoshop (Default). However, the other Microsoft programs are still present. How do I get rid of these and add the relevant Adobe programs (Ai, Id, Dw, etc),
Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop.  Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.  I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.  1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.  2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.  Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.
I have recently installed CS4 and I want to make fireworks my default editor for jpegs. However, I can't. PNGs default to fireworks, but whatever I try I cant get jpegs to. I thought I could live with it but when I press on a jpeg attachment I forget taht it weill open in Ps. Its beginning to drive me nuts! I have tried all the usual tricks regarding choosing a program to open with an extension, as well as uninstalled most of my previous Studio 8 - still have flash 8 installed - fw and dw are gone. Anyone got any more ideas. Is there something I need to do in PS?
Photoshop Elements 11 doesn't seem to have a facility to set File Associations and my PC keeps teying to use Picture viewer and other basic MS packages.
Changing a file association is a simple matter you either do it in Windows Explorer in the properties or just use the edit in command in bridge.Except that neither is working. Â Photoshop CS6 is not even showing up as an option in either Explorer or in Bridge but it is ironically working in Lightroom.I know how to change file associations.
1. How do you register file associations? In previous versions you could go into the File Menu and select which files you wanted Elements to open. I don't see that present in Elements 11. Â 2. After I crop a photo and save it the photo looks a little blurred and ragged on the edges, but it looks sharp in Windows Photo Viewer. How do you make it look sharp in the work area in Elements?
I have a vector shape (which is simply four rounded rectangles) that I have converted to a 3D object,now you can see I've angled the flat plane so it's a little oblique, but what I want to do now is map the 'face' of the extruded shape so instead of lying on a flat plane, the plane itself is warped like a sphere. Â Imagine taking these 'chicklets' and pressing them onto a bowling ball instead of lying on a flat table.Is there any way to do that in CS6 or am I going to have to do this in another 3D application?
Is there a way I can edit the registry so that in Adobe Bridge, under edit, preferences, file type associations, the jpg extension is forced to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop? I can do it manually, but is there a registry key i can export to apply it to multiple computers?
I'm using max 2012, and recently I got a license for max 2009 so I can use both at the same time.problem is that I installed max 2009 after 2012, so .max files started opening on max 2009. when I manually switched them on windows to open on max 2012, a weird and ugly icon got associated with .max files. you can say I have OCD, but I just hate wrong icons and stuff, that's something I stare to all day long, so I'd rather to keep it clean.
so I uninstalled max 2012 and installed it again. was a pain to reinstall my scripts and some plugins, but I got the icons back. but the other day, when I restarted my computer, files were associated to max 2009 again! and I didn't even touch 2009 version. It's driving me crazy. how can I associate .max files to max 2012 again and get the new neat 2012 icons to show?
My Illustrator files are not associating properly with Illustrator CC on my Win7 64-bit machine. Â When I had Illustrator CS6 all my Illustrator files were associated properly with ILLCS6. When I deleted CS6 and installed ILL CC my Illustrator files wouldn't associate properly with the program. I did the usual thing: OPEN WITH and tried to change the association, but Illustrator never shows up in the list after I tried to re-associate files. Â All of my other CC programs like Photoshop and Indesign all associate correctly with their files. Â I have found Illustrator in two places; Program files, but also in Program Files (x86). Which is correct?
I just loaded the box version of X4. I cannot change the file associations. All files are checked and will not change. I removed the whole program and reloaded, still have the same problem.
I mistakenly installed CorelDRAW and found out not what I hoped for, uninstalled, but now a bunch of Gimp file associations are gone!! like patterns and gradients and other things are no longer associated with Gimp! how do I get those file association back for Gimp?
Problem: When using Illustrator (CS4), saved files as .EPS, do not have the appropriate Illustrator icon on the file. When I click on them to open, instead of opening in Illustrator, the file open in "Preview". Â NOTE: ".AI" files saved, do not have the correct AI icon either, but do open in Illustrator. Â What can I do to rectify this situation?
I dragged over about 200 GB worth of pictures from my internal drive to an external within Lightroom. In doing so, a majority of my images did not retain their associations.
For example. a picture whose name in a folder is: /pic1.nef but in the gallery it's named: /pic1_2.nef
So, the association is broken. Is there a way to mass rename everything that has the string "_2" in it and remove it. I.e, go from pic1_2.nef to pic1.nef.
I have CS2 Premium which I'm running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5 - Dual 2.3 GHz ) running OS 10.4.11. I've had this setup for many many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but suddenly one day I could no longer launch my Photoshop app: when I clicked on the Pshop icon it would start the launch (open) procedure ... and then almost instantly it would quit (in just a few seconds ... before the application even got to the 'title/credit' screen).  I've recently tried uninstalling CS2 (everything except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on Macs for 20+ years so figured this would be a pretty straightforward procedure - uninstall -> reinstall and then back to work. Nope.  I'm attempting a fresh installation direct from the original CS2 CDs. In any event, when I try to (re)install CS2 - and after going through the standard screens with Adobe's usage terms agreement and installation hard disk selection - I arrive at the screen where one selects which application(s) to install by checking the various boxes (or alternately, to install the entire suite) but the 'Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2' line and checkbox are grayed out, so it will not allow me to check them and continue with the Photoshop installation process.
I have an computer that suddenly can only open an .PDF file in Acrobat, and not in Illustrator. We have art files that are in PDF format, and Purchase Orders that are in PDF format. We would just drag the icon over the software we wished to open the file. In this case Illustrator for the art file and Acrobat for the P.O. As of today, PDF's only open with Acrobat and that's it. I know it's probably a setting I'm forgetting.
I have both Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Elements 7.0 installed on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium, I removed Photoshop CS3 after installing CS4. The issue I have is that if I look at file associations in Bridge CS4 under Preferences, none of the file types are set to Photoshop CS4, they are set to either Explorer or Photoshop Elements 7.0.
The even stranger thing is also that if I try to change the associations, Photoshop CS4 is not even displayed as an option, as Photoshop Elements 7.0 always is, I have to browse in order to find it.
This works, but I find it strange. Also within Windows none of the file associations are set to Photoshop CS4 after installation, I have to change them manually, again by browsing for it. I remember that in previous installs of Photoshop there was the possibility to change or use default file associtions, does CS4 have this?
I guess this is not really a problem, but I find it somewhat strange that Elements 7.0 is always offered as an option but not CS4 and makes me feel it hasn't installed properly. Anyone have any ideas?
I just uninstalled CS3 on my main PC as I already have CS4 installed on it and no longer use CS3 and needed the HDD space. After I did so, all of my files associations that I had to PhotoShop have now been blown out! How to do I get all of them all back easily? I do not want to have to do a reinstallation and I have no idea what all of the file types are that are associated with CS4.
How do I re-install AI CC after it's been uninstalled because the initial install was corrupt? AI isn't availbale for download again in the app section of CC.
I have photoshop CS6, and I decided to install the trial version of CC. After installing it, there were problems, it kept saying that dynamic link isn't available. I removed it and wanted to re-install it, but I can't do it because according to Creative Cloud I already have Photoshop CC while I don't. I want to try CC but I can't download it.
I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on a Mac Pro Dual Core Intel Xeon with 2.66 GHz and 3GB RAM.I have tried to install Photoshop CS6 from the purchased disc and again from a downloaded trial version from Adobe. Both having the exact same install errors issue. I still have CS4 loaded since I wish to run with this suite for a while before I fully switch to CS6 Â WARNING: DW016: NOTE: Cannot set action to the payload {0256558F-A0FF-4FCF-99C2-96D2EE3201D9} Suite Shared Configuration CS6 3.0.0.0 as it is already upgraded by the payload {C346BBCF-A687-4500-BB19-EE9C2D6FF284} Suite Shared Configuration CS6 3.0.0.0

I have the disk and all the other programs are up and running fine but Photoshop does not properly install.it goes through the installation process but when its done installing there is only a file labeled "Photoshop cs5".
I have a new build with Win 7 Home 64bit. My original PS was ver. 5 and I've upgraded off of that ever since. I'm up to CS2 (upgrade) but on my new computer PS 5 will not install so I can't install CS2. Any work arounds? Â What's the earliest version that will install on Win 7 Home 64?
I signed up for the photo suite, lightroom + photoshop, today. Had no problems at all with lightroom but when photoshop had "downloaded" it said the file was damaged or incomplete. Nothing happened during the install, comp stayed on.. So I am a bit baffled on what happened and how I can fix it. When I go to adobe's site to the download screen for photoshop it just tells me after I click the link that I already have it.
I currently have Windows XP with SP3. I recently tried to install Photoshop Extended. However, when it get's to "initializing Photoshop" It just stops...nothing pops up. I tried to uninstall Photoshop from the Add/Remove programs menu but when I click remove, nothing pops up either. Is there a way to manually remove Photoshop and re-install it?
