Most of the time, Adobe Bridge will open your images into Photoshop as you'd expect and without any problems. But depending on the type of file you're trying to open (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc), you may run into a situation where Bridge opens the image not into Photoshop but into some other program that's installed on your computer.
Or, if you have multiple versions of Photoshop installed (as I do), Bridge may open the image in an earlier version of Photoshop instead of in the newest version. As we'll see, fixing the problem is easy. All we need to do is tell Bridge to open the file, along with all future files of the same type, into the latest version of Photoshop. We do that using the File Type Associations option in the Bridge Preferences.
