How to open 8BY file?

The most common problem when using PhotoDeluxe Plug-in is that a specific 8BY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that 8BY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 8BY 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 Adobe Photoshop

In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Photoshop application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Photoshop into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file 8BY with Adobe Photoshop. Below you will find a list of applications that support 8BY files.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with 8BY files

If, despite the installed application, the 8BY file does not start in the Adobe Photoshop application, you must create a file association. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 8BY file with the Adobe Photoshop application.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop program, it is possible that PhotoDeluxe Plug-in requires a newer version of the program.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 Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 8BY file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 8BY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 8BY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 8BY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 8BY file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 8BY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 8BY except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 8BY file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 8BY to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 8BY file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
