I have this raw file. The instructions say to open it at 256X256 and 13 channels. WHen I do that is won't open it and says "Specified image is larger than file." Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Try 512x512 and 1024x1024.

My first impulse would be to close any graphics programs, then doubleclick on the file in my computer's directory and let my computer work out what program to use.

If my computer can't work it out, and asks me if it should go to the web to find a program to open the file, then I know I am SOL and that the file is unusable.

But if photoshop or gimp or whatever recognizes it, then the file will open, and you're in business. If the wrong graphics program opens it (say paint opens it, but you wanted photoshop) then at least you can now close the file as psd and it will be openable by photoshop.

What version of Photoshop are you using, by the way?
