How to open JGD file?

An often recurring problem with Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Gradients is that JGD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file JGD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JGD 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 Corel PaintShop Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Corel PaintShop Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Corel PaintShop Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JGD with Corel PaintShop Pro.

Programs to open JGD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with JGD files

If, despite the installed application, the JGD file does not start in the Corel PaintShop Pro 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 select the desired program. 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 Corel PaintShop Pro application as the default for handling the JGD file.

Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Corel PaintShop Pro program, it is possible that Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Gradients requires a newer version of the program.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JGD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JGD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected JGD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of JGD 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JGD file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JGD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move JGD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the JGD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JGD file again. However, some background programs may block the JGD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
