Step 2. Create association of Zoner Photo Studio with ZBR files

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ZONER, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZBR 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 ZBR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZBR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 ZBR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZBR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZBR 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 option of recovering data from damaged ZBR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ZONER, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZBR 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. It is best to move ZBR 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
