How to open KDC file?

An often recurring problem with Kodak DC120 Digital Camera RAW Image Format is that KDC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file KDC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KDC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Zoner Photo Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the Zoner Photo Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Zoner Photo Studio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file KDC.

Step 2. Create association of Zoner Photo Studio with KDC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KDC file to open in the Zoner Photo Studio application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KDC file with the Zoner Photo Studio program.

Step 3. Update Zoner Photo Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Zoner Photo Studio program, it is possible that Kodak DC120 Digital Camera RAW Image Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ZONER, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KDC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the KDC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KDC file. Sometimes virus-infected KDC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KDC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KDC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Kodak, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KDC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the KDC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the KDC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KDC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
