Troubles Opening NWM Files

Missing Adobe Photoshop

When trying to open your NWM file, you get the error "Can't Open NWM File Type". Customarily, this means that Adobe Photoshop is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your NWM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

Obsolete Version of Adobe Photoshop

Your Sony NWM Display Screen File file is incompatible with Adobe Photoshop because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Adobe Photoshop version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Sony NWM Display Screen File file was created by a newer Adobe Photoshop than what you have installed.

Tip: Investigate your NWM file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of NWM file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe Photoshop version installed.
