A bug in Photoshop ?

Hello !

I have noticed two abnormal behaviors, which may be due to Photoshop : – there is no way I can instruct Windows Explorer (XP – SP2) to open .jpg files with Photoshop : Photoshop is not suggested as a possible choice, and I cannot force the Explorer to use it.
– When I scan a slide, using Vuescan, I tell Vuescan to use Photoshop as a viewer, but Photoshop says the file format is incorrect. Yet, I have no problem to open the picture file from Photoshop…

I have tried removing the Photoshop Preference file, and rebuilding it. No way.

Does anybody have an idea ? Thanks !

1 – right click on a JPEG file, any JPG will do

2 – select Open With

3 – look for Adobe Photoshop (it usually resides in a list of recommended programs

4 – tick the box to associate JPEGs with PSCS program

S’easy really

If you want to re-do the association to another program follow the above steps this time changing the association

Note, if it doesn’t show PS it could mean it’s not properly registered and you need to uninstall/reinstall. However, also note, that if it doesn’t show PS there’s a button at the bottom which says "Browse". Use it to browse to the PS folder, select the exe file and then:

Yes, of course I tried that. Problem is :
– PS does not show in the list of programs
– when I browse and click on the .exe file, PS still does not show in the list…

aahhh this is a more complicated set of circumstances sounding a bit like PSCS not being fully registered

I wonder if browsing to the .exe directly will help?

Probably a re-install?

I tried the re-install : it solved the problem of opening .jpg files with Photoshop, but .tiff images created with Vuescan are still not accepted by Photoshop.
