How to open NCA file?
The most common problem when using Nikon Capture Color Adjustment is that a specific NCA is not associated with the program. This causes the file NCA 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 NCA 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 Nikon Capture
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nikon Capture is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nikon Capture in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NCA files.
Programs to open NCA file
Remember to download programs supporting NCA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nikon Capture with NCA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NCA file still does not use the Nikon Capture program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NCA file with the Nikon Capture program.
Step 3. Update Nikon Capture to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nikon Capture program, it is possible that Nikon Capture Color Adjustment requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NCA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NCA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NCA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NCA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NCA files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NCA file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NCA files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NCA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NCA file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NCA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
