Photoshop :: Set File Type Associations In Adobe Bridge For CS6
Feb 23, 2013
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 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),

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 upgraded to the Creative Cloud on my PC, downloaded PS CS6 - Bridge and Camera Raw. I'm configuring and working with CR2 files, no problem, however, Bridge will not let me delete, rename or update the metadata of my jpgs.

For some unknown reason...CS2 has started placing "Adobe Bridge Cache" file shortcuts on my desktop. When I click on one, I receive a Win XP error message that says the file .bc is unkown and can't be opened.
These shortcuts have never appeared before. Now the simple act of opening Bridge and looking at jpeg files seems to initiate it.
Questions: Why is PS doing this? Do I need to pay attention to it? If not, how do I stop PS from cluttering up my desktop.

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.

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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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?

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'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?

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?

Adobe Bridge and reading from three cd's worth of pics. As you can see from the attached screen shot, I'm getting strange posterization. Sometimes the thumbnail is posterized and opens correctly, sometimes the thumbnail is good, but opens up in ACR posterized, sometimes the thumbnail and image open correctly, and sometimes they're both posterized. I've cleared the cache several times. My verson of Bridge is up-to-date.

I am using the Classroom in a Book tutorial and have the following problems. I am using Windows XP Home Edition.
1. When I copy the Lessons to my hard drive they are a read-only file and I cannot apply another attribute.
2. When I try to open the Lessons in Adobe Bridge from the CD but will not open. It gives me a message "No items to display with current document kind filter". I can see the files in the left pane and the folders in the roght pane but nothing will open.
3. I have been able to do a workaround by using Widows Explorer, double click on the lesson and it will open in PS CS2 but it will not open in Bridge.

I've got gigs and gigs of image data on my HD, and I'm a bit nervous. I was keeping things in esoteric folders, buring CDs occasionally, and sometimes actually backing up. In recent months, I've decided to take my 'shopping seriously (in a business sense) and started to investigate workflow methods. Right now, I'm concentrating on capture and archiving. Some of the Bridge's new features are quite appealing, but still not all that I want.
What I want from my friends here is a discussion on particular approaches, and why they do/don't work for you.
Here's what I am putting together now... Until today, I would dump my camera files directly into a TEMP folder with a date-based name, something like 2005-17-05, that reflects the dump date, not the actual shoot date. I would then let these sit for quite a while before doing anything with them. Really, the problem was that I got too caught up in details when trying to devise a folder structure, so I didn't follow through and kept inventing new things to confuse me. I'm very good at that.
I've decided on a handful of broad categories that represent my usual work, and have 3 main folders: Stock, Working, Final. Stock is essentially the images straight from the camera, working is a copy of the file saved as .PSD and where I actually do the image work, and Final is a flat, full-res .PSD of the completed image, as well as output-specific formats like web or print.
Within those folders I have subfolders for various things. The philosophy is this; Stock is broken into general categories that reflect the image's intent (Nature/Trees, or Places/Buildings for example). I also have a Projects folder for directed or consigned collections. Working also has folders, but they are based on the intent of a collection of images that may have different subjects, but fall into a project scheme (New Mexico Hikes, Horses, etc) - more on this in a bit. And the Final folder is a duplicate structure of Working.
I'm OK with 'Stock' as-is, but I'm still waffling on the Working/Final folders. An alternate approach is to keep the same structure from Stock in Working and Final, then have a separate Projects folder for collections. The advantage here is that I can work piecemeal and decide on a collection from a gallery of finals. I can also go back and find the layered PSD used in a Final simply by looking in the same-named Working folder. The disadvantage is in the fact that if I decide early on (before the working file) to create a collection, I'd have to make another collections folder in Working folder, which now spreads out my images. Put another way, I'd have thematically similar works potentially in several locations which makes finding them later a real challenge.
I guess I could just make a list of the images I wanted to use and track them through that way...
In any case, I do not rename any files, except in the case of versions, until I get to the final collection (which will have a text file relating the names to the originals).
Now let's throw in DNG! Not all of my shots are in RAW format, and I've not read enough about the Adobe DNG converter to know if it will 'force' the format on JPGs (I would guess not). So, part of the new workflow would be to automate RAW conversion. The question here is whether to save the original RAW file elsewhere, or in the DNG file itself. That's up for debate, but I will probably keep the RAW data directly in the DNG file.
Finally, we come to Adobe Bridge, which can help sort all this out. Mostly...
I spent most of today devising and implementing a handful of keywords/sets, as well as descriptions and applying copyright via the interface. Good stuff. Since I've got a mixed bag of formats in Stock, I've ended up with a LOT of XMP files, and decided to keep the Cache distributed (read up on Bridge if you aren't familiar with this). Doing this helped me sort and shuffle my collections into the scheme I've laid out above. There is some collateral damage since I've not been consistent in my naming or storage locations, but it's a real head start.
Now I'm on to Archiving, and I see a little snag. I can potentially save all my stock files to a fistful of DVDs, then do the same with the working files and finals. Since I'm using single-use DVDs, I can't add files later to fill up. And since I'll be adding stuff randomly to Stock, I've got to decide on an archiving scheme that doesn't just totally waste time creating a new DVD every time I add a handful of images. There is too much info to squeeze it all onto one disc, so I have to break it up somehow (and yes, I've been considering removable HDs).
The other problem here is that Bridge doesn't appear to support cataloging removable media. I may be mistaken, but I've not found it. That means I'll have to maintain some log that tells me what images are on what disc. Sure, I can use another application, but this would be a killer feature for Bridge 2.0 (are you listening Mr. Brown?).

I've been retreiving picture files from CD's and saving them to my computer through Adobe Bridge in CS3. When I put the CD in the CD drive, I would get a dialog box asking "Open With" and listing all the different programs that are in the computer like Adobe CS3, Adobe Bridge, Windows Media Player, etc. I highlight "Adobe Bridge" then "OK", and then click on that drive in my folders list and the pics open up in Bridge. My problem is that I (stupidly?) checked the box at the bottom of the dialog box that says something like "Always open with this program". Now when I load in the CD, that dialog box doesn't come up and the pic files don't come up in Bridge, even after going to that drive in my folders menu and clicking it..
