How to open PICTCLIPPING file?

The main problem with Picture Clipping Format is that the PICTCLIPPING file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PICTCLIPPING to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PICTCLIPPING 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 Apple Finder

In this case, you should first verify that the Apple Finder application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Finder in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PICTCLIPPING with Apple Finder. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PICTCLIPPING files.

Step 2. Create association of Apple Finder with PICTCLIPPING files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PICTCLIPPING file to open in the Apple Finder application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PICTCLIPPING file with the Apple Finder application.

Step 3. Update Apple Finder to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Apple Finder program, it is possible that Picture Clipping Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PICTCLIPPING file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PICTCLIPPING file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PICTCLIPPING file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PICTCLIPPING files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PICTCLIPPING 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PICTCLIPPING file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PICTCLIPPING 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. Copying the PICTCLIPPING file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PICTCLIPPING file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PICTCLIPPING to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PICTCLIPPING file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
