The ACB file extension is an Adobe Photoshop Color Book File. It is a graphic formatted file created with Adobe Photoshop software or by other software that support Photoshop's native format. The ACB file stores color swatches, hues, and tints created with the Adobe Photoshop's Color Swatch tool. It is utilized to identify colors whenever you open a new document or edit an existing one.
Technical Details
The ACB file has been released since Adobe Photoshop version 7, and it can be authored and opened with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, and other related applications. An ACB file can be read and imported in most graphical programs if they support the.ACB format. Sometimes the Adobe programs store these color swatches in two companion files, a.ACT (Adobe Color Table) and.ACO (Adobe Color Options) file. A file with.ACT extension contains both spot color palettes and CMYK palettes, while the.ACO file stores the RGB values for separable RGB profiles.
Similar File Formats
ACB files are similar to other color palette or swatch formats such as ASE, GPL, SOHO, and .ACR. The following is a list of software programs that can be used to work with and open ACB files:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Corel PaintShop Pro
- Serif PhotoPlus
- Artensoft Photo Collage Maker
- Microsoft Windows Photos
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ACB) 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 .ACB 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 .ACB 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 .ACB 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 .ACB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ACB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ACB 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 .ACB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ACB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ACB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
