Yellow Color Separation is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

You can use Adobe Creative Suite in case Adobe Creative Cloud cannot be used.

How to open YEL file?

The main problem with Yellow Color Separation is that the YEL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file YEL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YEL 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 Creative Cloud

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Creative Cloud is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Creative Cloud into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support YEL files.

Programs to open YEL file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Creative Cloud with YEL files

If, despite the installed application, the YEL file does not start in the Adobe Creative Cloud application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Creative Cloud application as the default for handling the YEL file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Creative Cloud to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Creative Cloud program with the Yellow Color Separation file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 YEL file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The YEL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the YEL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YEL file. However, remember that not every infected YEL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YEL files changes over time. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YEL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YEL 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the YEL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YEL 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.
