Open With Photoshop is a new companion for web and graphic designers to open up any web image with Adobe Photoshop via a single and quick mouse click.

After installation of Open With Photoshop you can right click on any image inside a web page and choose Open With Photoshop option from context menu to send the very image to the Adobe Photoshop. If the Photoshop is not in open state the add-on will start up the Photoshop and will place the image inside the Photoshop when Photoshop is ready. If Photoshop is already open, Open With Photoshop will simply add the image in a new Photoshop window immediately.

Open With Photoshop usage is that simple and it is great time saver for web and graphic designers.

Open With Photoshop also solves the annoying PNG transparency copy issue.

Note for Mac Users: The initiation of Photoshop takes a bit longer on Mac Os X if the Photoshop is not already open. Actually this is not a problem of Open With Photoshop but Mac Os X. If this lag irritates you, you may open up Photoshop manually before adding the web images via Open With Photoshop so that Open With Photoshop can put the images in the Photoshop in a faster way.

Open With Photoshop is also available for Google Chrome browser and can be installed on Chrome Store: Install Open With Photoshop for Google Chrome
