Open browser image in external Software?

Post by neunharpyi3 »

Hi community,

is is possible to create a keyboard shortcut to open an image from the browser in an external software? In my case (MacOS), i'd prefer to open it in the MacOS default "Preview" app as the colors match better there..
Alternatively, can I set to let it open external by default?

I struggle to find it in the shortcut menu or the settings :/

Thanks.

Got it now. It seems to use the sequence from the configured programs.

fn + opt + 1 opens image in DxO
fn + opt + 2 it opens the image in Affinity Photo.

Configured programs are:
1. DxO
2. Affinity Photo
...

Thanks.
