How to open PSDT file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Photoshop CC Graphics Format is that a specific PSDT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PSDT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSDT 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. To do this, enter the name Adobe Photoshop into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PSDT.
Programs to open PSDT file
Remember to download programs supporting PSDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with PSDT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PSDT file to open in the Adobe Photoshop application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PSDT file with the Adobe Photoshop program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Adobe Photoshop CC Graphics 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 PSDT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 PSDT file contents when downloading or copying. 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 PSDT file. However, remember that not every infected PSDT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSDT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PSDT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSDT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PSDT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PSDT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSDT file again. However, some background programs may block the PSDT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
