Troubleshoot 8BI8 Files

Troubles Opening 8BI8 Files

Adobe Photoshop Removed

When you double-click your 8BI8 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Photoshop for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the 8BI8 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When another 8BI8 application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Outdated Adobe Photoshop

In other instances, your Adobe Photoshop Plugin file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Photoshop. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Adobe Photoshop Plugin file was created by a newer version of Adobe Photoshop than you have on your PC.

Tip: Right-clicking on your 8BI8, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening 8BI8 files are due to having the incorrect version of Adobe Photoshop installed on your computer.
