I am using freehand mx 11.0.2 and have photosop cs3. I am trying to send a
picture in freehand to photoshop. I go to edit -> preferences -> object and
then i want to send the file as a JPEG but when i click on the button to select
the external editor photoshop is not in the list. The only way i can get it to
appear is if i change the file format from JPEG to psd.

Is there a way i can get photoshop to appear in the list when the file format
is set to JPEG?

Can't help you with the specific problem, but I would suggest that you
don't use JPEG for a number of reasons. 1) FreeHand doesn't always play
nice with JPEGs, when there are "weird" unexplained things happening
with FreeHand files I can almost always track it down to a JPEG. 2) If
you are editing an image, using JPEG is asking for trouble because
evrytime you re-save it you are degrading the image more and more. Use
TIFF where ever you would use JPEG. Use EPS if you are including a
Photoshop clipping path, even though FreeHand can handle TIFF clipping
paths it tends to shift the location of it.
