How to open CE1 file?

The main problem with Computer Eyes Raw Image Format is that the CE1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CE1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CE1 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 XnView

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CE1 files.

Programs to open CE1 file

Remember to download programs supporting CE1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XnView with CE1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CE1 file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XnView application as the default for handling the CE1 file.

Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Computer Eyes Raw Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CE1 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CE1 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CE1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CE1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CE1 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CE1 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CE1 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CE1 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 CE1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CE1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
