The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SD1 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 Lightroom

Programs to open SD1 file

Remember to download programs supporting SD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom with SD1 files

If, despite the installed application, the SD1 file does not start in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom application as the default for handling the SD1 file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program, it is possible that Dali Raw Image requires a newer version of the program.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 SD1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The SD1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SD1 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SD1 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SD1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SD1 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SD1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SD1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SD1 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SD1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SD1 file again. 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.
