File lessons for photoshop

The file lessons that i downloaded from peachpit.com show up as VLC files. I've tried multiple times to download it, tried unzipping it (like all forums say you're supposed to), nothing works. I can't open the file in photoshop because it "doesn't support that type of document".  Why is it downloading as a VLC file and not a regular zipped file like all resources say it's supposed to? Please help...

because vlc player is set as your default would be my guess... look at the file extension in your download folder and see what it has after the dot i.e, example1.zip, example1.7z, example1.3gp, .mov, ,mp3 etc

I just tried it again, and it works perfectly. It does take a minute to download because the files are big. It is a zip file at their end. It's something at your end, and Graham is most likely right that your VLC player is set to open your ZIP files.

What is your operating system?

Do you have extensions showing?

You didn't post a screen shot, but is this what you see at the Pearson site?

It will download all_lessons.zip

When it hasn't finished yet, it looks like this. If it does, then wait a little longer.

If you are on Windows, I'm not sure whether or not a zip program is built in. Another ACP on this forum whom I trust told me to download 7-zip when I needed it once. The steps should be similar. You are trying to say open all programs that have a .zip extension with this utility.

https://www.7-zip.org/


on Windows 10 the .zip extension can be opened by default but I'd still recommend using 7zip as it can open more file types than just zip

press [Windows key] + and type winver to get your exact build but 7zip works on any version of Windows

Hi Chelsey,

It loaded as a zip file for me. Can you show a screen shot?

You might go back to Peachpit and try the download again. Make sure it finishes before you unzip.
