Hi. As of this morning, if I right click an image file in Bridge the default "Open with" is now Lightroom (pls see attached). I want the "Open with" default to be Photoshop like it always has been for many years. (I don't know why this changed to Lightroom). Can someone please advise how to do this? Thanks -

You might take a look at

Bridge>Preferences>File Type Associations

and check that these are set to your requirements.

If that does not help you may need to do a Preferences reset.

It is also worth mentioning that some folk make the mistake of installing Bridge and Photoshop in the incorrect order. Always Bridge first otherwise the Photoshop installer cannot install scripts which communicate through Bridge. Therefore another option is to uninstall both then reinstall in the correct order.

Thanks very much for your reply, Erik. Before I posted my question I tried Bridge>Preferences>File Type Associations, but when I clicked on any of the options, nothing happened. I then reset my Preferences, but again, nothing changed. I've been using this installation of Bridge and PS for years, with constant updates, and this issue only started yesterday when I launched the two apps. This morning, for whatever reasons, everything was back to normal, back to the way it previously was. Thanks for the info about the correct order to install, I wasn't aware of that. If this issue pops up again I'll reinstall both, and light some incense that everything will be ok 🙂 Thanks again for taking the time to reply, much appreciated!
