Understanding ICC Issues

Troubles Opening ICC Files

Adobe Photoshop CC Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open ICC Files" when trying to open your ICC. Usually, this is because you do not have Adobe Photoshop CC for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your ICC with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When another ICC application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Outdated Adobe Photoshop CC

It is possible that your version of Adobe Photoshop CC isn't able to open your International Color Consortium Profile File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Adobe Photoshop CC version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your International Color Consortium Profile File file was created by a newer Adobe Photoshop CC than what you have installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your ICC file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of ICC file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adobe Photoshop CC version installed.
