AHS File Complications

Frequent AHS Opening Issues

Adobe Photoshop CC Disappeared

If you attempt to load your AHS file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open AHS Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Photoshop CC for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your AHS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your AHS, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Wrong Version of Adobe Photoshop CC is Installed

Your Adobe Halftone Screen File file is incompatible with Adobe Photoshop CC because you might have the wrong version installed. 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 Halftone Screen File file was created by a newer Adobe Photoshop CC than what you have installed.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of AHS file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

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

Other Causes of AHS File Opening Problems

You can still experience errors opening AHS files even with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening AHSs. Additional factors include:

• File references in the Windows Registry for AHS are wrong
• Corruption of the AHS file description inside the Registry
• Invalid installation of a AHS-associated program (eg. Adobe Photoshop CC)
• Something has caused file corruption of your AHS
• Your AHS is infected with malware
• AHS-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Adobe Halftone Screen File files
