    I recently upgraded to Adobe Creative Suite. While working in AE, I’m having difficutly linking to PS. Although I have used “Edit Original” before from AE to PS…now when I click on EO….my computer launches Microsoft Office Document Imaging.

    One of the real powers of the Creative Suite is the ability to move from one Adobe program to the other…with out having to leave the one your working in and launch another program. Anyone have a suggestion of how I can relink the”family” so that they talk to one another…and not use MS Office as a the ‘first responder’

    Thanks

    When your not in ae and you try to open the file by double clicking on it does it open in MS Document imaging?

    If so right click on the file and select open with… and check the box that says “always use this program to open this type of file” then select ps and hit ok.

    Jack,

    Thank you for your assistance. When I did double click on the file..”outside of ae”…it did in fact open in Microsoft Office Doc Imaging. I did what you suggested, right clicked and then opened it in PS CS.

    Then I closed out everything. Opened AE…brought the same file onto the time line. Went to edit..scrolled to “edit original”. and when I clicked this time…I got that notice that AE could NOT find the program that the file was created in. The file is a simple PS JPEG file. Should I attempt to take off Office and reinstall?…or reinstall Adobe Creative Suite?

    So many choices…so little time.

    Thanks,

    Jack..

    I believe I have figured it out. The file on the AE timeline…must be a PS image…not a Tiff or JPEG…etc etc. Even if you bring an image into PS…and save it as a TIFF or JPEG…then jump to AE…and decide that you want to edit the original…if you have saved the file only as a TIFF or JPEG…it will jump (as in my case) to MS Office Doc Imaging…to be edited.

    Oh well!!! Thanks for your assistance…hope all your tech problems are small ones.
