How to open AHU file?
An often recurring problem with Adobe Photoshop HSL Format is that AHU is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AHU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AHU 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Photoshop program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Photoshop in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support AHU files.
Programs to open AHU file
Remember to download programs supporting AHU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with AHU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AHU file to open in the Adobe Photoshop application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AHU file with the Adobe Photoshop program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Adobe Photoshop HSL Format there were still problems, you should update the program 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 AHU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The AHU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AHU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AHU file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AHU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AHU 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.
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 AHU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AHU 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AHU 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 AHU 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.
