Operating system: Windows 10

Double-clicking a graphic in Indesign opens it Windows Photo Viewer instead of Photoshop.

Most likely it is doing this because your computer is associating the file extension of your images with your Windows Photo Viewer rather than Photoshop. To make sure that your image files associate correctly globally with Photoshop see the instructions at How to Change File Associations in Windows .

Hi, I need some help about this problem. Now when I alt + double click on photo it opens directly photoshop. But earlier it used to open photoshop in the background. So I can click on ten or so photos to open in photoshop. Then I open photoshop and then I have ten photos opened. How to do that? That double clicking photo would open phoyin background?

Or…use Open With instead and then choose Photoshop.
