| 325677 | 2005-02-16 17:43:00 | Here are a few simple questions about Photoshop 6 that have been ticking me off for awhile... 1. To adjust Brightness-Contrast, I have to go to Image / Adjust. Unlike other items in that section, there are no short cut keys. Is there a way to permanently place the Brightness-Contrast adjustment on the work place, as can be done with the Navigator tab to slide-adjust the viewing size of the image? 2. JPG images can be read, but not JPEG. Most all photos that I have (nearly all are from my digcam, a few from email) are JPG but occasionally there is a JPEG and Photoshop will not even "see" it so the file cannot be opened. Therefore I have to manually change the file name to JPG by removing the "e". Can Photoshop be altered to read jpEg's? 3. Adjusting Image Size: the default is cm, but I prefer inches (for some strange reason). Can the default setting be changed? Thank you. :) |

The menu items are different but they'll be there somewhere unless yours is brocken. 1. Ctrl L this gives levels with histogram, eye dropper and slider not the not the simple sliders for brightness & contrast, there is no shortcut for the latter. 2. I think something must be wrong with your copy, I have options to open as JPEG [*.JPG,*.JPEG,*.JPE]. Try Edit > File Association > choose JPEG..... (I don't have PS as default for JPEG, etc, but it still opens them fine) If that doesn't work, there might be a fix or plugin at Adobe. 3. Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers and > Grid. |

| 325679 | 2005-02-17 19:45:00 | Thanks Murray. My comments are below. 1. Ctrl L this gives levels with histogram, eye dropper and slider not the not the simple sliders for brightness & contrast, there is no shortcut for the latter. It is indeed strange that Adobe has left the brightness/contrast quick control out. Perplexing... 2. I think something must be wrong with your copy, I have options to open as JPEG [*.JPG,*.JPEG,*.JPE]. Try Edit > File Association > choose JPEG..... (I don't have PS as default for JPEG, etc, but it still opens them fine) If that doesn't work, there might be a fix or plugin at Adobe. There is no such thing as Edit > File Association in my Photoshop 6. I notice that with SAVE AS, it defaults to JPG, with not option for JPEG. I have searched yet again in Preferences and other tabs, with nothing showing the ability to read JPEGs. 3. Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers and > Grid. This worked! Not sure how I missed seeing this one. Well, I am surprised more PF1ers have not responded to this post, for surely many use Photoshop. Maybe today will bring something. Again, thanks for your help. |

| 325680 | 2005-02-17 20:00:00 | Have you got JPEG listed as an image file in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types tab? | Murray P (44) | ||
| 325681 | 2005-02-17 20:28:00 | Have you got JPEG listed as an image file in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types tab? Yes, all three are there: JPG, JPEG, JPE. I use Firefox as a browser. On National Radio today I learned of a new website, about the truth in Iraq, by American veterans: http://www.optruth.org Anyway, I just tried to save a photo on that site and it automatically saved it as a JPG, which is all fine and nice. But every once in awhile a photo will be saved as a JPEG and I cannot see a way in Firefox to make it save as a JPG. But the trouble is with Photoshop 6, that it cannot even "see" a jpEg file. OK, I just tried IrfanView, the freebie photo program, it is handles jpEgs just fine. I saved a Peanuts cartoon yesterday and changed the file type from JPG to JPEG and Photoshop will not open it or see it. In the OPEN > FILES OF TYPE options, the ALL FORMATS does not work for jpegs and the options are only JPG and JPE. (Murray this info is for other readers, as I know you know...) Does anyone have Photoshop 6 that in fact works with JPEGs? |

| 325683 | 2005-02-18 01:26:00 | I have the exact same problem with photoshop 6 not seeing .jpeg files, but the .jpeg opens fine in fireworks which seems odd as i would have thought photoshop would have had greater support. |

| 325684 | 2005-02-18 02:58:00 | Can you right click and open with PS6 Not sure what you mean, Rob. Right click on a web page photo, then "save image as", then if it saves it as a JPEG, change it to a JPG by eliminating the E?? :confused: Why open it with PS6? |

| 325686 | 2005-02-18 11:35:00 | Once you have saved it to hd,right click it,select open,then choose Photoshop from the list. Metla, Rob - still cannot see how this answers my question about not being able to open a jpEg. |
