Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with 8BFM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 8BFM file still does not use the Adobe Photoshop program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 8BFM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The 8BFM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 8BFM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 8BFM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 8BFM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 8BFM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 8BFM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 8BFM 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 8BFM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 8BFM file again. However, some background programs may block the 8BFM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
