The PRP file extension stands for the Compressed Gimp Image Properties File, which is a special file format created by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), an open source image manipulation software. This file format enables the user to store information related to the properties of a image, i.e. size, format, colour depth, number of colors, antialiasing, color palette and alpha channel settings. It is a compressed version of the standard GIMP image file, GIMP's native file format, as well as other related formats including.XCF,.PSD and.JPG.
The PRP file contains various data including the options associated with an image (such as selected color depth, opacity, and resolution). This data is sorted into two categories - those which are written on saving the image, and those which can be specified during loading. The PRP file allows users to easily store data associated with old versions of an image and can be used to quickly save changes without having to re-apply all settings from scratch. Furthermore, this compressed file format enables users to share finished images with others using minimal hard drive space.
Similar Formats
Similar Compressed Imagefile formats include .XPM, .PNG, .JPG, and .TIFF.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PRP) 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 .PRP 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 .PRP 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 .PRP 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 .PRP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PRP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PRP 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 .PRP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PRP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PRP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
