1462750 2019-07-28 08:21:00 I have a new laptop - mostly doing exactly what I want it to. But I find I have a problem:

I do some photography and use Photoshop CC2019. When I go into:

1. Choose default application by file type
2. .jpg
JPG file
3. The default is Photos

And I wish to change the default to Photoshop CC2019.

I have managed this on my desktop (where it is most essential) but would also like this on my lappy too!

I can't for the life of me see how to do this! Pretty please? What is the answer to this 'Oh thou most knowledgeable people' ?

TIA

1462751 2019-07-28 08:34:00 type choose default app by file type in the search bar then scroll down to .jpg and select Photoshop gary67 (56)
1462752 2019-07-28 09:07:00 It is not available to select. And I can't see a way of making it available. :(

There are other options, but not the one I want...

1462753 2019-07-28 09:20:00 What you can try, right click any .jpg - Open With - Select the Photoshop, if its not listed, scroll down the list to the bottom, then click " choose another App" , if still not there Scroll down - More apps, if still not there - Select Look for another app on this PC- Scroll to the program (x86) or Program files ( where ever it was installed) folder, locate Photoshop, select the Photoshop .exe file. Once selected put a tick in the box " always use this app to open .jpg" ( you may need to start and scroll through again to select the box) wainuitech (129)
1462754 2019-07-28 09:41:00 Thanks - but when I go I get Photos, and other things I don't want. 'Other options' which doesn't include Photoshop. It just suggests 'Look for an app in the Microsoft Store', which of course doesn't include the Photoshop I'm looking for.. The suggestion you make 'Look for another app on this PC' is not there. R.M.

1462755 2019-07-28 22:45:00 The suggestion you make 'Look for another app on this PC' is not there. It should be, haven't seen a Windows 10 PC yet that doesn't have the option. I suspect you're not looking in the right place ( scroll further down)

And here's a quick Video showing with photo shop, it will be under Adobe ( or should be)

1462756 2019-07-28 22:52:00 Ok - I will have a more 'in depth' look when I finish my housework... Thanks for that - and I will let you know. :) R.M. (561)
1462757 2019-07-28 23:43:00 You are so right. I often get myself into trouble for trying to do things in too much of a hurry... :(

Thanks so much for your help:) Much appreciated - as always!
