JP2 Troubleshooting

Issues Opening JP2 Files

MacPhun ColorStrokes Removed

You attempt to load your JP2 file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The JP2 File Extension". Customarily, this means that MacPhun ColorStrokes is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your JP2 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: Another JP2-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

MacPhun ColorStrokes is Out-of-Date

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of MacPhun ColorStrokes installed that's incompatible with your JPEG 2000 Core Image File type. Installing the latest version of MacPhun ColorStrokes from Macphun is recommended. Your JPEG 2000 Core Image File file was probably created by a newer release of MacPhun ColorStrokes than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Right-clicking on your JP2, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Conclusion: The majority of JP2 file opening issues are due to not having the correct MacPhun ColorStrokes version installed.
