Features & Capabilities

Open With Photoshop is an essential Chrome extension designed for web and graphic designers. It allows users to open any image from a webpage directly in Adobe Photoshop with just a right-click, streamlining the editing workflow.

The extension either launches Photoshop if it’s not open or instantly adds the selected image in a new Photoshop window if the program is already running. It also resolves PNG transparency copy issues, saving time and enhancing productivity. Mac users should note a slight delay when Photoshop starts up, but this can be mitigated by manually opening Photoshop beforehand. This handy tool is a must-have for designers seeking a seamless image editing experience from their browser.

User Reviews

Users commonly experience that the Open With Photoshop add-on fails to work despite appearing in Firefox's context menu. The required communicator executable causes endless update prompts and doesn't function properly. The add-on supports only Creative Cloud Photoshop versions, leaving older versions unsupported. It triggers protocol errors stating Firefox cannot handle certain addresses. Although users can set the Photoshop path manually, the overall reliability is poor, and many report it doesn't work on recent Firefox or Windows versions.

Pros

Provides a context menu option to open files directly with Photoshop.
Allows manual setting of the Photoshop executable path.
Has an available communicator executable meant to facilitate the connection between Firefox and Photoshop.

Cons

The communicator executable repeatedly prompts for updates leading to a loop and does not properly function.
The add-on often fails to actually open Photoshop from Firefox despite appearing in the context menu.
Compatibility issues exist with multiple Photoshop versions; it only supports Creative Cloud versions and not older ones like CS6.
Users receive protocol-related errors indicating Firefox does not recognize the address/link invoked by the add-on.
Several users report it does not work on recent Firefox versions or Windows 10 setups, leading to frustration and poor reliability.

Is Open With Photoshop Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open With Photoshop requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Open With Photoshop has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
