How to open ISA file?

An often recurring problem with Adobe Photoshop ImageReady Action is that ISA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ISA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ISA 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Photoshop program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Photoshop in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ISA with Adobe Photoshop. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ISA files.

Programs to open ISA file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with ISA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ISA file still does not use the Adobe Photoshop program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Photoshop application as the default for handling the ISA file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Photoshop program with the Adobe Photoshop ImageReady Action file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISA 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ISA file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ISA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ISA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ISA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ISA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ISA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ISA 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ISA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
