Programs to open SHH file

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with SHH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SHH 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 SHH file with the Adobe Photoshop application.

If, however, after binding Adobe Photoshop with Adobe Photoshop Shadow/Highlight Settings Format 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 SHH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SHH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SHH file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SHH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SHH 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 SHH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SHH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SHH 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. It is best to move SHH 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SHH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
