P3L File Complications


Troubles Opening P3L Files

Adobe Photoshop is Not Installed

When trying to open your P3L file, you get the error "Can't Open P3L File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Photoshop for %%os%% installed on your computer. 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 you have another program installed that you know will open your P3L, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Adobe Photoshop Requires Update

Your Adobe Photoshop Light Preset File file is incompatible with Adobe Photoshop because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Adobe Photoshop from Adobe Systems Incorporated is recommended. 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: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of P3L file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Regardless, most of the P3L file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe Photoshop installed.


Other P3L File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Adobe Photoshop will resolve your issue. Other P3L opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:

  • P3L file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Deletion of the P3L file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Corrupt install of Adobe Photoshop or other P3L-related program
  • Your P3L can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Malware-tainted P3L file can't be opened
  • P3L-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Adobe Photoshop Light Preset File format

Poll: Do you use a computer or mobile device more often to view files?
