Sources of SCT Problems

Troubles Opening SCT Files

Adobe Photoshop Disappeared

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

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens SCT files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Adobe Photoshop Requires Update

In other instances, your Scitex Continuous Tone File file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Photoshop. If you do not have the proper version Adobe Photoshop (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Scitex Continuous Tone File file was probably created by a newer release of Adobe Photoshop than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the SCT file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening SCT files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Photoshop installed.
