Right clicking in PS and LR3 question?
 

Another Newbie question....sorry guys .

I have all images up on my screen from my card reader and i right click an image to choose where i want to send it to.....previously it has been direct to"send to CS3".

This right click panel only shows "send to CS3" with no option to "send to LR3"

In the words of that famous Professor"why is it so ? "

What can i do to include this?

Cheers for any tips.......:)

It's because your raw file type isn't associated with LR. Instead, right click and use 'Open in...'

If you want to add lightroom (or any other application) to the 'send to panel':

Click the start button and click on run, in the open box, type 'sendto' (without quotes and no spaces) and hit return. This should bring up a windows explorer type window of the send to folder, containing all of the current send to items in it. Drag your Lightroom icon (or any other application icon) onto this window and create a shortcut.

I hope this helps.

Cheers Matt & Nick for your replies :}
I looked in " open with" as Matt suggested and only CS3 is there :{
So i did Nicks suggestion above....now i have LR3 in the "send to" section HOWEVER on a trial run LR3 opened without the image i right clicked on...only a DNG panel. [It had an Import button however it wasnt "live"
Whilst i was at it i also sent Camera Raw shortcut into the "send to" and it doesnt show up at all when right clicking and going to "send to".....I just love technology !!
