As usual, Windows Update has removed the Open with Photoshop from the right click context menu.

As usual, I have forgotten the remedy.

Can anyone help please?

Cheers,

Colin

For 'Non-Nerds' (like me) I find I can work my way through the Windows dialogs-

1. Select an image file to open (eg. JPEG) Right-Click and Select [Open With]

2. Most likely- you will NOT see Photoshop shown in the next screen! Click on [More apps]

3. In the list that opens- Scroll ALL the way to the bottom and Click on [Look for another app on this PC]

4. In the File Explorer window that opens navigate to and select {Photoshop.exe} which will be located in folder-

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\...

5. Repeat for other file types for Photoshop.

(Note to Lightroom-Classic users: Lightroom only opens .LRCAT file-types. Not image files!)

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.4.1, Photoshop 27.8, ACR 18.4, Lightroom 9.4, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Hi

Take a look at this thread, there's a reg fix

Photoshop 2018 can't be set as default "open with" for any file type

Thanks but out of the 79 replies the answer given is not a reg fix. Anyway, I think you have put me on the right track; I have investigated reg fixes and applied the following but no luck.

Funnily enough, .jpeg is OK, but not .jpg.

(For .JPG) Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\OpenWithList

If that exists, verify (Default) has the correct path verified in Step 1.

If path is not correct, double-click (Default). Type the following text in it:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
