Hi there,

 

I want to edit reference frames in Photoshop, not Illustrator. When I make one, it defaults to Illustrator. Any suggestions on how to switch default settings to resort to Photoshop?

 

Thank you.

SOLVED: You were right in that it wasn't an AE issue. My .PSD files were defaulted to Illustrator; I think this was due to an update. Regardless, you can solve this issue by going to your finder/file explorer and right clicking the file and defaulting the .PSD file (among other formats) to PhotoShop. Now my reference frames are being pulled up in PhotoShop.

I don't this it's an AE issue, by default if you open a PNG file did it open on Illustrator or Photoshop?

anyway try to reset your AE preferences also be sure the default app to open a PNG is Photoshop
