How to Open CTG Files
Since CTG files are associated with multiple programs and applications, double click on the file to see if it will automatically open in a default program you have installed on your PC. CTG files can consist of different file types, so you may already have a program which will open the file.
CTG files that are related to Canon PowerShot really have no reason to be opened since the purpose of the file is to provide data and information for photos and images that are stored in different folders on the memory card. When you remove the photos from the memory card, CTG files are removed along with the corresponding file. Converting the files to another format is also not an option since the data associated with the image cannot be converted to a different image format.
If the CTG files are created with ChessBase, you must use the ChessBase program to open them. ChessBase is compatible with the Windows operating system and can be downloaded from the ChessBase website. You can also obtain apps for the iPad and iPhone to open CTG files on your mobile device.
CTG file extensions that are associated with PATROL can be opened using the PATROL software application, which is available for download on the BMX website. PATROL is compatible with the Windows operating system and can also be substituted with BMC PATROL DashBoard. PATROL DashBoard is available on the BMC website and is a web-based application.
