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: If you know of another program that can open your MASK file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Obsolete Version of Adobe SpeedGrade

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the MASK file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
