Images not opening in PSPro Ult. when d/c on image

Post by Ken Veal »

Have suddenly gained changes when I want to work on images
When I double click on an image, it opens in Corel After Shot Standard 3 instead of PSPro 2018 ULT in which all file types are associated under File Format Associations. I have reset the application .What do I need to do to get back to where it was.

Right click the file and at thebottom select Properties.
Near the top it will tell you what it opens with and to the right is a Change button. Click that and it will allow you to browse and choose what you want those types of files to open with.

It can be changed if you install another program that takes over those associations. Usually during installation you are given the choice of what programs you wnt to associate with this program. I always refuse any other associations except those that only that program can open -.psd for Photoshop, .pspimage for Paintshop Pro . I prefer all jpgs bmps tifs and common graphc files to open in Irfanview as teh program opens and you are looking at your image in les than a couple of seconds whereas with PSP you are due for a wait of at least 10 seconds.
