I am trying to open in a psd file in Photoshop from a
hyperlink in PowerPoint. Photoshop will launch, but the
image is up for just an instant then it closes. I have
done the same with jpegs with Internet Explorer set as the
default program for that file type and it works fine.
 
I get the same behavior here with PowerPoint 2002 and Photoshop CS. I don't
know what the cause or solution is.
 
I get the same with PowerPoint 2000 or XP and Photoshop 7 and CS.
You can create a shape and give it a 'Run program' Action Setting, using the
following syntax:
"full path to Photoshop e.g. C:/Programd Files/Adobe/Photoshop
7/Photoshop.exe" "path to document"
(include the quotes)
....but that's hardly a simple solution.
 
Thanks, Adam. I figured there was a command line option to launch a file,
but wasn't sure.
