What is TN3 file?
The file in the TN3 format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. The author of this format is Atari. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Tiny High Resolution Image appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is XnView. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open TN3 file?
The main problem with Tiny High Resolution Image is that the TN3 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TN3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TN3 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XnView into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TN3 with XnView. Below is a list of programs that support the file TN3.
Programs to open TN3 file
Remember to download programs supporting TN3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with TN3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TN3 file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 TN3 file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the Tiny High Resolution Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TN3 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TN3 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TN3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TN3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TN3 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TN3 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Atari help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TN3 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TN3 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TN3 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TN3 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
