How to open SA9 file?

The main problem with Hue And Cry Photoshop Plug-in is that the SA9 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SA9, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SA9 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Photoshop application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Photoshop into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SA9.

Programs to open SA9 file

Remember to download programs supporting SA9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with SA9 files

If, despite the installed application, the SA9 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SA9 file with the Adobe Photoshop program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop program, it is possible that Hue And Cry Photoshop Plug-in requires a newer version of the program. 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 SA9 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SA9 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SA9 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SA9 file. Sometimes virus-infected SA9 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SA9 file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SA9 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Flaming Pear Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SA9 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.
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. It is best to move SA9 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
