The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 After the debacle wiith my home PC, my Photoshop is acting up and I'm wondering whether any of you know how to fix it: I can open up P'shop and drag photos into it, no problems, but when I double click on a photo to open it in P'shop, the program opens, but no image. I have tried right-clicking and selecting 'open with', but that doesn't make any difference. Always used to work fine... Any bright ideas?

Guest Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It may be that it's loaded it, but it's just not showing it. Is it listed in the Window menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Nope, there's no list of documents in there like with Microsoft programs. And if I click on the open doc icon it doesn't appear either...mystery... Fancy seeing you here again old bean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi Clare, What was wrong with your PC previously?? And I know this is going to be a typical IT response, but "have you tried restarting your computer" Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yes I have Karl. It was totally messed up by a local IT company - they had to reload P'shop (and all the other programs) and it's not been the same since. I've trawled throguh all the preferences and am bothered if I can find the solution. If I go to the recent files list in the file menu then I can see images that I have used before when I dragged them in, but not the ones that I tried to open (unsuccessfully) by double clicking them. Thanks for your suggestion. I can work round it, but it's irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Might be worth you uninstalling it yourself and installing it again....... Usually quite a simple process...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I thought of that, but I don't have the disks. A friend has kindly sent me the solution just now, here.... http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.ef85de5 But having had so many problems after they destroyed both my HDs, I am loath to try it.. Guess I'll just have to put up with dragging images in to it Thanks for your suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 As long as you do exactly as that says you shouldnt cause any harm to anything else....... If you decide to do it, you will have to restart before trying to open a file again. Theres too many bad IT companies out there.......Shame they dont go out of business quicker before they cause problems....... Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I might try when I'm feeling braver Karl The friend who fixed my PC is due to come round in the not too distant future, so I might ask him to do it.... call me a coward.... Ta everso though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 If you open Photoshop and choose File - Open as and pull down to your version of Photoshop you might be able to open pictures individually, but it's a bit laborious. You would then have to save them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
