1. Re: Why can I no longer open a PE image directly in PE 11 by simply double clicking the image?
18qwer Dec 5, 2012 12:38 PM (in response to Dale Mullen)I think you have selected to automatically open images in Editor, but you have chosen the wrong file. You have chosen the Welcome Screen, not Editor. You will need to link it again. Please refer to the following post for further clarification:

Dale Mullen Dec 6, 2012 11:32 AM (in response to 18qwer)Thanks for the reply.
However, I don't understand your answer.
To refresh my memory, I just now selected a jpg. image and opened it with PSE 10. When PSE 10 opened, there was my image, ready to be worked with. However, when I repeated the exact same thing with with PSE 11, PSE 11 opened a blank page and I had to go to the Open menu and reopen my image. I don't understand why this extra step is required with PSE 11.
The screen shot you suggested means nothing to me in post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4876725#4876725 as I've no idea where it comes from or what I'm looking at.
Can you provide further details?
Thanks.

18qwer Dec 6, 2012 11:38 AM (in response to Dale Mullen)Hi Dale,
When you opened the image in PSE10, what did you do actually? You right click on the image and then selected which file?

Right click on a photofile
In the menu that comes up, go to "open with", then "choose default program">>select Photoshop Elements.
Tick always use selected program to open this type of file
This establishes the file association.

18qwer Dec 6, 2012 11:47 AM (in response to Dale Mullen)Well try this: Launch the Welcome Screen of PSE11. In the top right you will see a settings icon. Click on it.
Now you will see a dropdown. Select Photo Editor in it. Click Ok. Now close Welcome Screen.
Now right click on the image and select Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. See if it works.

Dale Mullen Dec 6, 2012 3:13 PM (in response to 18qwer)In this particular example, I simply selected a jpg. file, clicked the 'Right' mouse button and selected 'Open with...'. I then selected PSE 10 and the image opened in PSE 10, ready for editing.
The same procedure and same jpg. file was followed by selecting PSE 11. This time, only PSE 11 opened; no image.
An image saved in PSE 11 format reacts exactly the same way. When the saved image is double-clicked, only PSE 11 opens, rather than the image itself.
Thanks,
Dale

Dale Mullen Dec 6, 2012 4:05 PM (in response to 18qwer)Gave that a try but it didn't seem to make a difference (in how images were opened). Thanks for the suggestion though.

8. Re: Why can I no longer open a PE image directly in PE 11 by simply double clicking the image?
Dale Mullen Dec 6, 2012 4:11 PM (in response to hatstead)It seems that the association has been established as the image icon shows the PSE symbol. However, the image simply will not open by 'double-clicking' or by selecting 'Open with...'. Instead PSE 11 opens blank and I then have to open the image file by using the 'Open' menu from within PSE 11.

hatstead Dec 6, 2012 4:23 PM (in response to Dale Mullen)Well, I wonder if the ability to open a file in PSEv.11 with a double click has been aborted when Adobe developed this iteration of the program.
I have PSEv.8. Perhaps someone with v.11 will try this maneuver and report back.

Dale Mullen Dec 18, 2012 12:01 PM (in response to 18qwer)Hi:
Again, thanks for the reply and concern.
I haven't worked with PSE 11 for a few days but in short, "No". It seems, as some others have suggested, that PSE 11 has changed that particular aspect of the program. I can't understand a reason for the change but for some reason or other, it seems that the extra steps may now be required.
If this is really the situation, then it seems that Adobe has taken a step backward.
Dale
