What is PZP file?
The PZP file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. The author of this format is Sonic Solutions. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. PhotoSuite Project Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. You can use Pizazz in case PhotoShow cannot be used.
How to open PZP file?
The most common problem when using PhotoSuite Project Format is that a specific PZP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PZP, 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 PZP 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 PhotoShow
The first step is to check if the computer has the PhotoShow program installed. This can be achieved by typing PhotoShow into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PZP files.
Programs to open PZP file
Remember to download programs supporting PZP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PhotoShow with PZP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PZP file still does not use the PhotoShow 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 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. 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 PhotoShow application as the default for handling the PZP file.
Step 3. Update PhotoShow to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PhotoShow program with the PhotoSuite Project Format 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 PZP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PZP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PZP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PZP file. Sometimes virus-infected PZP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PZP file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PZP files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PZP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 PZP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PZP to close. However, some background programs may block the PZP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
