Issues Opening SD0 Files
Missing Adobe Lightroom CC
Double-clicking your SD0 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open SD0 File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Lightroom CC 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: If you don't have Adobe Lightroom CC installed, and you know of another program to open your SD0 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Wrong Version of Adobe Lightroom CC is Installed
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Adobe Lightroom CC installed that's incompatible with your Dali Raw Image type. You will need to download a newer version of Adobe Lightroom CC if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Dali Raw Image file was created by a newer Adobe Lightroom CC than what you have installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the SD0 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening SD0 files are due to having the incorrect version of Adobe Lightroom CC installed on your computer.
