Common Problems Opening ICM Files

Missing Adobe Photoshop

When trying to open your ICM file, you get the error "Can't Open ICM File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Photoshop for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your ICM because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens ICM files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Adobe Photoshop is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Image Color Matching Profile file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Investigate your ICM file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening ICM files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


More Causes of Problems Opening ICMs

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Adobe Photoshop will resolve your issue. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening ICMs. Additional factors include:

  • Windows Registry ICM file paths that are incorrect
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the ICM file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the ICM format
  • Something has caused file corruption of your ICM
  • Your ICM is infected with malware
  • Hardware related to ICMs has device driver corruption
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Image Color Matching Profile file
