Adobe Photoshop Removed

You attempt to load your 8BPS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The 8BPS File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Photoshop installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your 8BPS because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: Another 8BPS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Adobe Photoshop is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your Adobe Photoshop Data File 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. Most of the time your Adobe Photoshop Data File file was created by a newer Adobe Photoshop than what you have installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your 8BPS file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
