Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with DC2 files
If, despite the installed application, the DC2 file does not start in the Adobe Photoshop application, you must create a file association. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DC2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DC2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DC2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 DC2 file. However, remember that not every infected DC2 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 DC2 file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged DC2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kodak
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DC2 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DC2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DC2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DC2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
