Understanding 8BP Issues

Common 8BP Opening Problems

Missing Adobe Photoshop

You attempt to load your 8BP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The 8BP File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe Photoshop missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your 8BP because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your 8BP file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Outdated Adobe Photoshop

In other instances, your Adobe Photoshop Plugin file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Photoshop. Visit the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. This problem is predominately due to having a Adobe Photoshop Plugin file version that was created by a newer version of Adobe Photoshop than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the 8BP file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of 8BP file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe Photoshop version installed.
