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

Programs to open KRAW file
Remember to download programs supporting KRAW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mac OS X with KRAW files
If, despite the installed application, the KRAW file does not start in the Mac OS X 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mac OS X application as the default for handling the KRAW file.
Step 3. Update Mac OS X to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mac OS X program with the Mac OS X Kernel-RAW Image Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KRAW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to KRAW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KRAW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected KRAW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KRAW 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KRAW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KRAW 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. Copying the KRAW 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KRAW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KRAW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
