Sources of GRD Problems


Troubles Opening GRD Files

Missing Adobe Photoshop

When you double-click your GRD file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Photoshop for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your GRD with Adobe Photoshop, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you don't have Adobe Photoshop installed, and you know of another program to open your GRD file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Wrong Version of Adobe Photoshop is Installed

It is possible that your version of Adobe Photoshop isn't able to open your Photoshop Gradient File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop installed, you'll need to install the correct version. 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: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your GRD file and clicking "Properties".


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening GRD files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop installed.
