How to Stop Adobe From Opening for Pictures
Computers operate using default settings. This holds true when it comes to opening pictures--the computer's default picture viewing program will immediately load up. Upon download, some programs, like Adobe Photoshop or other Adobe picture editing software (like Illustrator or InDesign), may automatically become your computer's default picture viewing program. This can be frustrating, since you may not want to wait for a large program like Adobe Photoshop to load up before being able to view your photo--or maybe you simply want to view it using another program. Fortunately, you can stop an Adobe program from automatically opening your pictures by using another picture viewing software of your choice.
