| Windows Image Color Matching Format | N/A | Settings Files |
An .ICM file is an image color matching profile created in Microsoft Windows. It stores settings that adjust the colors of pictures displayed on a computer monitor. For example, an ICM file might be used for calibrating a graphics card with proper gamma and color temperature values for its display.
ICM files are read by many graphics programs, including Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, and GIMP, when they need to accurately load the color settings of an image. The effect of an ICM file is calibrated specifically for a given type of monitor, as the sRGB calibration profile ICM is usually included along with a monitor's purchase. Other generic ICC profiles are included with Windows and are stored in the " .icm" files.
Similar File Extensions
The .ICM file extension is somewhat similar to .ICC, .ICNS, WARP, and .SPP file extensions.
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 .ICM) 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 .ICM 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 .ICM 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 .ICM 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 .ICM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ICM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ICM 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 .ICM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ICM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ICM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
