How to open UFP file?
The main problem with Ulead Photo Project is that the UFP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UFP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UFP 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 Ulead PhotoImpact
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ulead PhotoImpact is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Ulead PhotoImpact into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support UFP files.
Programs to open UFP file
Remember to download programs supporting UFP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ulead PhotoImpact with UFP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UFP file to open in the Ulead PhotoImpact application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 UFP file with the Ulead PhotoImpact application.
Step 3. Update Ulead PhotoImpact to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ulead PhotoImpact program with the Ulead Photo Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UFP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The UFP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the UFP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 UFP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UFP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UFP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 UFP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UFP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the UFP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UFP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UFP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
