How to open NTC file?
The most common problem when using Camera Control Pro Custom Curves Format is that a specific NTC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NTC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NTC 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 Camera Control Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nikon Camera Control Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Nikon Camera Control Pro into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NTC files.
Programs to open NTC file
Remember to download programs supporting NTC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nikon Camera Control Pro with NTC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NTC file still does not use the Nikon Camera Control Pro 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 Nikon Camera Control Pro application as the default for handling the NTC file.
Step 3. Update Nikon Camera Control Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nikon Camera Control Pro program, it is possible that Camera Control Pro Custom Curves Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NTC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The NTC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NTC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NTC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NTC 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 NTC files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NTC files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NTC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NTC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NTC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NTC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
