Just wondering, why can I not open any of my elements or papers (pretty much any kit - from cd or download) directly into photoshop? Everything first has to be opened in Image Ready, then jumped over to photoshop. I've tried changing the option in windows explorer to open in photoshop, but when I did that nothing happens. I mean, it won't open anything at all. My dh is pretty saavy with the computer, but he's stumped with this one too. He says there is something wrong with all of the files, but I say if this many folks can do this -- something must be wrong on my end. I've kind of accepted this as just one of those things you have to work around, but if there's something I can do to fix this I'd love to hear it. Thanks so much for your help, your a great bunch of gals (and guys too)!!

BTW, I use ps7. I was planning to upgrade to cs a while back, then I heard they're releasing the new one soon, so I'm hanging on...
