How to open Q1Q file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Q1Q 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

Programs to open Q1Q file
Remember to download programs supporting Q1Q files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with Q1Q files
If, despite the installed application, the Q1Q file does not start in the Adobe Photoshop application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the Q1Q file with the Adobe Photoshop application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop program, it is possible that LunarCell Photoshop Plug-in requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Q1Q 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 Q1Q file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to Q1Q files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file Q1Q or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected Q1Q file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of Q1Q file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair Q1Q file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Flaming Pear Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted Q1Q 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. It is best to move Q1Q to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Q1Q to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the Q1Q file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
