Step 1. Install Adobe Photoshop

Programs to open Q4Q file
Remember to download programs supporting Q4Q files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with Q4Q files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the Q4Q file still does not use the Adobe Photoshop 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the Q4Q file with the Adobe Photoshop application.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Solar Cell Photoshop Plug-in 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Q4Q 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 Q4Q file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the Q4Q 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Q4Q file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover Q4Q files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of Q4Q 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged Q4Q files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Flaming Pear Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file Q4Q 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the Q4Q file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Q4Q 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.
