How to open PBV file?

Step 1. Install Corel PaintShop Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Corel PaintShop Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Corel PaintShop Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PBV files.
Programs to open PBV file
Remember to download programs supporting PBV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with PBV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PBV file still does not use the Corel PaintShop 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PBV file with the Corel PaintShop Pro program.
Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Corel PaintShop Pro program with the Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Bevel Preset file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PBV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PBV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PBV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PBV 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 PBV 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 PBV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PBV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PBV file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PBV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PBV file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PBV file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
