Programs to open RGBE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with RGBE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RGBE file to open in the Adobe Photoshop application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Adobe Photoshop application as the default for handling the RGBE file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Radiance Map there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RGBE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The RGBE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RGBE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RGBE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RGBE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RGBE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RGBE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RGBE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RGBE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RGBE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RGBE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
