Broken file associations

[BoomeArt]

After the update 26.6.0  file associations stopped working. Previously, double-clicking on a jpg, tif, or png file opened Photoshop, but now it opens Preview.app.
Forcibly changing the file association with the program does not work.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please try the steps outlined here: https://adobe.ly/4jK1fzv and let us know if that resolves the issue?

I have only Photoshop and Lightroom, no other Adobe app. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help.

@BoomeArt  Do you have test the step for MacOS described in the linked document in @Srishti Bali post?

There's no mention of a reinstallation.

[BoomeArt]

Yes. It is written in my first message and I attached a screenshot.

I'm having the same issue. Using Get Info to change a specific file type to open in PS 2025 and choosing Change All does nothing, I can visually see the selected app default back to a different app (Acrobat, Illustrator, etc). Choosing Photoshop 2025 does not stick.

Latest update 26.7 fixed this issue.
