How to open CIE file?
The main problem with CIE Format Format - Color Information Format is that the CIE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CIE, 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 CIE 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 LITESTAR 4D Photoview

Programs to open CIE file
Remember to download programs supporting CIE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LITESTAR 4D Photoview with CIE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CIE file still does not use the LITESTAR 4D Photoview program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 LITESTAR 4D Photoview application as the default for handling the CIE file.
Step 3. Update LITESTAR 4D Photoview to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LITESTAR 4D Photoview program with the CIE Format Format - Color Information Format 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 OxyTech srl website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CIE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CIE 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CIE file. Sometimes virus-infected CIE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CIE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CIE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CIE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CIE file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CIE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CIE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
