tiffs, jpegs won't open by double-clicking on them, only by opening within PSCS

[ixschell]

Hi,

I have a weird problem with Photoshop CS. When I double-click on a tiff, jpeg, or Photoshop file it launches the program, but it won't open the image. In order to do that I must go to file and choose open. This is much more trouble. I can't figure out why. My photoshop guru friend couldn't figure out why. Any ideas?

Also, and this may or may not be related. When I open the program I get the following message: For Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click General, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller.

The weird thing is, when I did what message suggested, I discovered that there was no "text smoothing" option to turn off under Preference (under General) in Photoshop. There is no General in the computer's System Preferences, so I'm assuming the message refers to Photoshop Preferences.

Thanks!

Try binning the preference files.

Welcome to the board ixschell 8))

Try binning the preference files.

Try that first; hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift when you start Photoshop. (Command-Option-Shift on the Mac).

And if you do not get a window asking you if you do want to delete your prefs, try again, or delete them manually... (by navigating to the correct folder - http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331483.html - )
