Step 1. Install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Programs to open LRPREVIEW file
Remember to download programs supporting LRPREVIEW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom with LRPREVIEW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LRPREVIEW file to open in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 LRPREVIEW file with the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program with the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Preview Format 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 LRPREVIEW 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LRPREVIEW file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LRPREVIEW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LRPREVIEW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LRPREVIEW file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LRPREVIEW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LRPREVIEW 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.
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 LRPREVIEW to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 LRPREVIEW file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
