How to open PIMX file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Photoshop is that a specific PIMX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PIMX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PIMX 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 Adobe Photoshop
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Photoshop application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Photoshop into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PIMX.
Programs to open PIMX file
Remember to download programs supporting PIMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with PIMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PIMX file to open in the Adobe Photoshop application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Adobe Photoshop application as the default for handling the PIMX file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop program, it is possible that Adobe Photoshop requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIMX 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 PIMX 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PIMX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PIMX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PIMX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PIMX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PIMX 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 PIMX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PIMX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PIMX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
