How to open DRX file?

The most common problem when using Adobe Photoshop Tutorial is that a specific DRX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DRX, 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 DRX 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 Adobe Photoshop

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Photoshop is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Photoshop in it.

Programs to open DRX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with DRX files

If, despite the installed application, the DRX file does not start in the Adobe Photoshop application, you must create a file 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. 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 DRX file with the Adobe Photoshop program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Adobe Photoshop Tutorial there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The DRX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DRX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DRX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DRX 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 DRX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DRX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DRX 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. It is best to move DRX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 DRX to close. However, some background programs may block the DRX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
