How to open 3PR file?
The most common problem when using Hasselblad Camera RAW is that a specific 3PR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open 3PR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3PR 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 FastPictureViewer Professional
The first step is to check if the computer has the FastPictureViewer Professional program installed. This can be achieved by typing FastPictureViewer Professional into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support 3PR files.
Programs to open 3PR file
Remember to download programs supporting 3PR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FastPictureViewer Professional with 3PR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 3PR file to open in the FastPictureViewer Professional application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 3PR file with the FastPictureViewer Professional application.
Step 3. Update FastPictureViewer Professional to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FastPictureViewer Professional program with the Hasselblad Camera RAW file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Axel Rietschin Software Developments website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3PR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The 3PR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the 3PR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 3PR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 3PR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 3PR files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 3PR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 3PR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move 3PR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 3PR to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
