What file format are the Paint files? When Paint opens the file try doing a
"save as" and select JPG and see if you can open this via PS.
Cannot open files after downolad? Where are you downloading them from?
You should be able to open any image format from within PS by going to
File>Open and selecting the "files of type" dropdown menu.
If you are familiar with PS on a Mac it should be almost identical in
operation to the PC version Only difference is the name of the keys,
Control=Command, Alt=Option etc.,

downloaded images to XP it will automatically open them in Paint. I am also
experiencing problems opening the Paint files in Photoshop. I currently have
to download images> copy files to desktop >Open Photoshop and Open or Browse
from PS. I am unable to open using OPen With by clicking on the image either
in the folder or on desktop . Images will only open with Paint I am offered
Recommended Applications of which PS is not one of them. When I browse and
select Photoshop it reverts back to the screen showing other apps and will
not open PS. Thank you

Hi
This is where I get tripped up...PS will not open or show up on the list
after browsing to Adobe>PS and clicking on the application. The screen
reverts back to the Recommended Apps/ Browse window but no PS is listed in
order to "Always use program...". Regards.
