Troubleshoot EPR Files
Common EPR Opening Problems
Adobe Photoshop CC Removed
You attempt to load your EPR file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The EPR File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe Photoshop CC missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your EPR with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your EPR, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Incorrect Adobe Photoshop CC Version
In other instances, your Photoshop AME Preset File file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Photoshop CC. Visit the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC. This issue mainly occurs when your Photoshop AME Preset File file was created by a newer version of Adobe Photoshop CC than you have on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your EPR file and clicking "Properties".
Conclusion: The majority of EPR file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe Photoshop CC version installed.
Additional EPR Opening Issues
You can still experience errors opening EPR files even with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC installed on your PC. If you're still experiencing problems opening EPR files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:
- EPR file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Unintentional removal of the description of the EPR file inside the Windows Registry
- Defective install of a EPR program, such as Adobe Photoshop CC
- File corruption affecting your EPR file
- EPR file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Device drivers for EPR-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Photoshop AME Preset File format
