| Corel PaintShop Photo Pro Enamel Presets Format | Corel Corporation | Vector Image Files |
The PEN file extension is associated with the Corel PaintShop Photo Pro digital imaging software. It is used to store image enamel presets created with the program by the user. PEN files contain information about the colors, textures, shapes and other settings that have been applied to a particular image using the software.
File Format Details and Similar File Extentions
PEN files are saved in binary format and contain a series of instructions that specify how the software should render the preset on the image. The software uses specific numerical values as parameters to alter the colors, size, and shape of various elements. These numerical values are stored in the PEN file which can then be applied to multiple images with the same effect. The preset can also be edited which can serve to further customize the appearance of images.
Apart from PEN files, Corel PaintShop Photo Pro recognizes other file formats such as .PSD, .RAW, .EMF, .EPS, and .JPG.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PEN) 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 .PEN 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 .PEN 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 .PEN 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 .PEN extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PEN file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PEN 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 .PEN file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PEN file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PEN file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
