How to open PSPGRADIENT file?

The most common problem when using PaintShop Pro Gradient is that a specific PSPGRADIENT is not associated with the program. This causes the file PSPGRADIENT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSPGRADIENT 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Corel PaintShop Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Corel PaintShop Pro into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PSPGRADIENT with Corel PaintShop Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file PSPGRADIENT.

Programs to open PSPGRADIENT file

Remember to download programs supporting PSPGRADIENT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with PSPGRADIENT files

If, despite the installed application, the PSPGRADIENT file does not start in the Corel PaintShop Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 PSPGRADIENT file.

Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Corel PaintShop Pro program with the PaintShop Pro Gradient 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 PSPGRADIENT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSPGRADIENT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSPGRADIENT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSPGRADIENT 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 PSPGRADIENT 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 PSPGRADIENT files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PSPGRADIENT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PSPGRADIENT file to another location will fix the problem.
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 PSPGRADIENT to close. However, some background programs may block the PSPGRADIENT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
