How to open CS4 file?

An often recurring problem with Sinar CaptureShop 4-shot Image is that CS4 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CS4 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 CS4 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 Sinar CaptureShop

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sinar CaptureShop is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sinar CaptureShop into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CS4.

Programs to open CS4 file

Remember to download programs supporting CS4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Sinar CaptureShop with CS4 files

If, despite the installed application, the CS4 file does not start in the Sinar CaptureShop 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sinar CaptureShop application as the default for handling the CS4 file.

Step 3. Update Sinar CaptureShop to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sinar CaptureShop program, it is possible that Sinar CaptureShop 4-shot Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sinar website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CS4 file

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CS4 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CS4 file. Sometimes virus-infected CS4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CS4 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CS4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sinar, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CS4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CS4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CS4 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
