How to open FFF file?
The most common problem when using Hasselblad RAW Image is that a specific FFF is not associated with the program. This causes the file FFF 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 FFF 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 Apple Preview
In this case, you should first verify that the Apple Preview application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Preview in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FFF with Apple Preview. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FFF files.
Programs to open FFF file
Remember to download programs supporting FFF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Preview with FFF files
If, despite the installed application, the FFF file does not start in the Apple Preview 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FFF file with the Apple Preview program.
Step 3. Update Apple Preview to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple Preview program, it is possible that Hasselblad RAW Image requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FFF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FFF 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 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FFF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FFF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FFF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FFF files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FFF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 FFF 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. 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 FFF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
