The PDD ( PDD) file extension is a proprietary Adobe PhotoDeluxeimage file type. It was created and developed by Adobe Systems, Inc. for use with their digital imaging software. The PDD stands for ‘Portable Document Format’ which is the underlying files format that the images are saved in. Unlike other image formats, the PDD file extension keeps an original image element, such as its colour palette, masks and layers of editing information.
The PDD format supports many features of Adobe software such as transparency, vector shapes, text, various blending modes and Spot Color. Adobe Photoshop CS2also supports the ability to directly open and convert Adobe PDD files to their native format. The quality level of these converted images is very high compared to other image formats.
Similar File Extensions
Other image file format similar to PDD include .PSD, .TIF, .GIF, .JPG, .PCT, and .PNG. All these image file formats can be opened with applications like Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, ACDSee Photo Editor and Gimp.
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 .PDD) 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 .PDD 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 .PDD 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 .PDD 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 .PDD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PDD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PDD 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 .PDD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PDD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PDD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
