p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · PS option not showing up in right click

Full disclosure - this will sound inarticulate. But: My company decided to group everyone in house into one Adobe Suite account. In doing so, we had to sign in all over again with new passwords, and all of my stuff was lost, actions, new photo templates, everything. I can deal with all of that...

But the weird thing, is when I import my SD card, instead of having the PS logo and Jpgs, the files show up as LR + Jpgs! So when I used to just right click and open the file in Photoshop, I don't get that option. Only LR. So now I have to find the exact file, then go into photoshop to open it. So again, if I right click on the LR icon, I only get the option to open in LR, whereas I used to get both options- and I used to see the PS icon, not LR! I don't use Lightroom! Any thoughts on settings I should try? I don't get it.

Thanks for any insight.

You need to reassociate these file types with PS. Right click on an file and choose Open With. Select Other, then select the PS program and make sure Always Open With is selected.

mcgroomf is correct. Apparently the raw Fujifilm RAF file type has been associated with LR rather than PS. I'm not sure if that means that someone else uses LR for .RAF files or if you can change it without messing up anyone else. But associating the .RAF file type with PS would probably change things back to what you are used to.

Thanks for this. I think I tried that, but when I’m back at work next week I’ll see if it works. Really appreciate it!

The key is to choose Other after Open With, rather than the PS option that is displayed. This allows you to see and check the Always Open With option. If you don't do that it won't stick. Let us know how it goes.

Well, it didn't work quite how you said, (PS didn't show up as an option in that initial drop down) but I kept digging and went into Program Files, and once I opened one file in PS that way, the PS option now shows up when I right click. It's just so weird, I don't know why the files on my SD card would change to LR. Anyway, thank you both! You helped me get it sorted.

Yes that happens sometimes (PS not showing up as an option). All you need to do is navigate to the program on your system and then pick it. Sorry, should have added that but good that you found another way.
