Programs to open PSPBRUSH file
Remember to download programs supporting PSPBRUSH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Painter with PSPBRUSH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PSPBRUSH file to open in the Corel Painter 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. 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. 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 Corel Painter application as the default for handling the PSPBRUSH file.
Step 3. Update Corel Painter to the latest version
If, however, after binding Corel Painter with Paint Shop Photo Pro Brush Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSPBRUSH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSPBRUSH file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 PSPBRUSH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSPBRUSH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSPBRUSH 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSPBRUSH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PSPBRUSH files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move PSPBRUSH to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PSPBRUSH to close. 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.
