SR2 Troubleshooting


Common SR2 Opening Problems

Adobe Photoshop Disappeared

When trying to open your SR2 file, you get the error "Can't Open SR2 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 another SR2 application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Adobe Photoshop Requires Update

In other instances, your Sony RAW Image file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Photoshop. Visit the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. Your Sony RAW Image file was probably created by a newer release of Adobe Photoshop than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Right-clicking on your SR2, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Regardless, most of the SR2 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe Photoshop installed.


Other Causes of SR2 File Opening Problems

You can still experience errors opening SR2 files even with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening SR2s. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Windows Registry SR2 file paths that are incorrect
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the SR2 file inside the Windows Registry
  • Corrupt install of Adobe Photoshop or other SR2-related program
  • File corruption affecting your SR2 file
  • Your SR2 is infected with malware
  • Hardware associated with SR2 has outdated drivers
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Sony RAW Image files
