Images won't open

[sjch]

Hi everyone,

Up until a few weeks ago I have always been able to double-click an image and it would automatically open up in Photoshop CS. But now it just loads Photoshop without opening the image. In Quark 6.5 I used to be able to open an image in "Utilities" but again it just loads Photoshop without opening the image.

I have checked in the "Get Info" window for several images and they are all set to open with Photoshop. I have 1000's of images and have tried randomly opening 30-40 of them with the same negative result.

Although I can open the images by going in to Photoshop and then "Open" it takes alot longer.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance
SJCH

If you have not upgraded or reloaded you OS before this started happening, you migh try trashing your Findr preferences. Quit all apps andgo to user/library/preferences and trash "com.apple.finder.plist'. Then restart your machine.

After that select an image and Get Info. Select PS as the app to open and make sure to click the Change All button in the Get Info so that all of that type image opens in PS. Repeat for each image type - picking the app you want.

Still no luck, you can reload PS. Make sure that you copy your plugins folder if yo have added PS plugins.

Using OSX 10.3.9 on a G4

Reloading PS is no help as noted in the FAQ at adobeforums.com
