Photoshop 2020 (21.1.3) PNG Issue: "IDAT: Incorrect Data Check"

[FaustoDP]

I am attempting to open some PNG files into photoshop and I get the message "IDAT: Incorrect Data Check"

Tried opening it in the new AI as well and it errors out there too.

Works fine opening the PNG in any other software.

Any idea on how to fix this, its REALLY hindering my workday

Hi FaustoDP,

I gess I can help you about this perpose

Please open the picture with "Paint" (an built in program in windows) and save it without any modification

After that, open the file, it will be opened
