8TY File Complications
Typical 8TY Opening Challenges
Adobe Photoshop CC is Not Installed
When trying to open your 8TY file, you get the error "Can't Open 8TY File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Photoshop CC for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your 8TY file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your 8TY, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Obsolete Version of Adobe Photoshop CC
In other instances, your Adobe Photoshop File file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Photoshop CC. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Adobe Photoshop File file was created by a newer Adobe Photoshop CC than what you have installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your 8TY file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening 8TY files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed.
Additional 8TY Opening Issues
Even with the correct version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed, you can still experience difficulties opening 8TYs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening 8TYs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- 8TY file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- The 8TY file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Corrupt install of Adobe Photoshop CC or other 8TY-related program
- Your 8TY can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- The 8TY is infected with a virus
- Hardware associated with 8TY has outdated drivers
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Adobe Photoshop File files
