Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to change the program that InDesign open an Image to be edited.

My default setting to open .tif file type is with a simple image viewer, therefore when I click on the “edit original” button in InDesign the image will be opened in the simple image viewer instead of Photoshop,

there is a way to change the program in which InDesign open a given file type in order to be edited?

Correct answer BobLevine

It's a function of the operating system so no, there's no way to do this.

Thanks Everyone for the clarifications,

for the moment I have created an AHK script to do the mouse work for me, it does the job, not very clean as solution but if it work, it work.

Not exactly solution to your problem - but maybe switch to Adobe Bridge for browsing your photos?

Then you can keep Photoshop as a default application.

Hi Peter,

thanks for the answer,

I am doing that at the moment, but is a bit time inefficient.

I was wondering if is there an option to choose a specific program as default only for InDesign.

Not that I amd aware of, sorry.

One of the scripters might have a script you could use and you can assign a keyboard shorcut to scripts, so that might be a bit faster.
