Troubleshoot AMP Files

Common Problems Opening AMP Files

Adobe Photoshop CC Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open AMP Files" when trying to open your AMP. If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Photoshop CC installed for %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

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

Outdated Adobe Photoshop CC

Your Adobe Photoshop Curves Map File file is incompatible with Adobe Photoshop CC because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Adobe Photoshop CC version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Investigate your AMP file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Summary: Not having the right Adobe Photoshop CC version on your computer can cause problems opening AMP files.
