How to open ARTWORK file?

The most common problem when using ArtStudio Image is that a specific ARTWORK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ARTWORK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ARTWORK 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 ArtStudio

In this case, you should first verify that the ArtStudio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ArtStudio in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ARTWORK.

Programs to open ARTWORK file

Remember to download programs supporting ARTWORK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ArtStudio with ARTWORK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ARTWORK file to open in the ArtStudio 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ARTWORK file with the ArtStudio program.

Step 3. Update ArtStudio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ArtStudio program with the ArtStudio Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the DrawingHand.com website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARTWORK 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ARTWORK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ARTWORK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ARTWORK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ARTWORK file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ARTWORK files. You can restore the file from a backup or use DrawingHand help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ARTWORK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ARTWORK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ARTWORK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ARTWORK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
