How to open PMG file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Photoshop Photomerge Panoramic Composition Format is that a specific PMG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PMG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PMG 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Photoshop is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Photoshop in it. 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 PMG files.

Remember to download programs supporting PMG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with PMG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PMG file still does not use the Adobe Photoshop 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. 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 PMG file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Adobe Photoshop Photomerge Panoramic Composition Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PMG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 PMG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PMG 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 PMG 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PMG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PMG 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PMG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
