What is JPC file?

The JPC file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. It was designed by Joint Photographic Experts Group. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. JPEG 2000 Code Stream Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Adobe Photoshop to handle this file. This is a program created by Adobe Systems Incorporated. This file type can also be opened by 11 other programs. You can use ACDSee, PaintShop Pro, Canvas, IvanView in case Adobe Photoshop cannot be used.

How to open JPC file?

An often recurring problem with JPEG 2000 Code Stream Format is that JPC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file JPC 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 JPC 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 it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file JPC.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with JPC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JPC file to open in the Adobe Photoshop application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Photoshop application as the default for handling the JPC file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with JPEG 2000 Code Stream Format 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 JPC 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 JPC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JPC file. However, remember that not every infected JPC 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 JPC file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JPC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Joint Photographic Experts Group
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JPC 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 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 JPC 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JPC file again. However, some background programs may block the JPC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
