How to open PRL file?
The most common problem when using Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Rough Leather Preset is that a specific PRL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PRL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PRL 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 Corel PaintShop Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the Corel PaintShop Pro application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open PRL file
Remember to download programs supporting PRL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with PRL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PRL file to open in the Corel PaintShop Pro 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Corel PaintShop Pro application as the default for handling the PRL file.
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 Rough Leather 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 PRL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PRL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PRL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PRL 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 PRL file. 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 ability to automatically repair PRL file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PRL 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. Copying the PRL 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PRL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PRL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
