Remember to download programs supporting PSPMASK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel PaintShop Pro with PSPMASK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSPMASK file still does not use the Corel PaintShop Pro 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSPMASK file with the Corel PaintShop Pro application.
Step 3. Update Corel PaintShop Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Corel PaintShop Pro program, it is possible that Corel PaintShop Pro Data Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSPMASK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSPMASK file. 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. 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 PSPMASK file. Sometimes virus-infected PSPMASK 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 PSPMASK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged PSPMASK files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PSPMASK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PSPMASK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PSPMASK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PSPMASK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
