The ATN file extension is used for a Photoshop Actions file. These files are used to store specific Adobe Photoshop actions and commands applied to an image in the software. It’s saved in a text-based format, so the contents can be viewed through any text editor.
Using ATN files, users can build a series of actions and save them as a single entity – an ‘action set’. The user then has the option to simply select which saved action set they’d like to apply to an image, and all of the instructions and statements will be automatically carried out on the selected photo. This feature reduces time spent on editing each individual image, since all the tasks are done with a single click. More complex action sets can even adjust the pixel level or modify mask options.
ATN File Writing & Compression
ATN files are written in text-based format, which means that their files are smaller than other formats like PSD or RAW. However, because some action sets may incorporate plugin commands or layers applied to an image, the size of the ATN file can often increase significantly depending on how elaborate its parameters may be. With this in mind, ATN files can typically range from 10KB to over 100KB.
Similar File Extensions
ATN files use unique syntax in comparison to other Photoshop-related formats like .PSD, .ABR, and .ASL. These other variations use distinct structures that allow them to store other types of data like extended layer settings, brush definitions, and layer styles.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ATN) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ATN extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ATN file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ATN extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ATN extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ATN file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ATN file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ATN file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ATN file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ATN file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
