Change Image Default?

[Guest]

How do I change my Image Editor Program form Paint to Photoshop? For instance
I open an image in the Windows-Fax Viewer then when I click the Send Image to
Image Editor, the image now opens with the Paint Program. I want the image to
be edited in Photoshop. Hope someone can help. Thanks

You have to drill way down in the registry to get to the following key. If
you still have trouble send me email.

Go to Start | Run | Type regedit

In the Registry Editor find this key

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command

Click on this value
"%systemroot%\system32\mspaint.exe" "%1"
Replace the value with the directory of your program such as the following
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

When you click the edit button your images should open in the program you
have chosen.

It's much easier to do this in explorer:
Tools/Options/File Types
Scroll to the file types you wish to edit in PS (jpg, bmp, png, etc).
Highlight the file type, click "Advanced"
Edit, or add, the "Edit With" option.
