having no CMF with it. So I think what I need is a working Colour Management File.

There's not much info available on Google. I wondered what the file extension is. I gather .csf - quoted below is a chunk of stuff I found.


========================================================


'It's necessary to specify the same color management settings for the workspaces and conversion options to keep color consistent when moving documents between Photoshop and other Adobe applications that support color management. The Color Settings dialog box represents the common color management controls shared by Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign. In Adobe Acrobat, the color management controls are found in the Preferences. Synchronizing the color settings helps to ensure that color is reproduced consistently between Adobe applications that support color management. To share custom color settings between applications, be sure to save your settings (in a .csf file). You can load the settings file in the desired application instead of copying all the settings manually. (See Saving and loading color management settings. below)

Note: If you modify and save over the current Color Settings.csf file in any application other than Photoshop, you may be prompted to synchronize the common color settings upon starting Photoshop or upon reopening the Color Settings dialog box in Photoshop. You can go through the following procedure to re-synchronize the color settings between Photoshop and other Adobe applications.'

Saving and loading color management settings

When you create a custom color management configuration, you should name and save the configuration to ensure that it can be shared with other users and applications that support color management, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Acrobat. You can also load previously saved color management configurations into the Color Settings dialog box.

To save a custom color management configuration:

In the Color Settings dialog box, click Save.
Name your color settings file, and click Save.
To ensure that the saved configuration appears in the Settings menu of the Color Settings dialog box, save the file in one of the following recommended locations:

(Windows) Program Files/Common Files/ Adobe/Color/Settings.
(Mac OS) Users/user profile/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings. To ensure that all color-managed Adobe applications can take advantage of saved color setting files, you may want to save them to the system application support folder. Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings. Enter any comments that you want to associate with the configuration, and click OK. The comments that you enter will appear in the Description area of the Color Settings dialog box when the pointer is positioned over the configuration in the Settings menu.

To load a color management configuration:

In the Color Settings dialog box, click Load.
Locate and select the desired color settings file, and click Load.
When you load a custom color settings file, it appears as the active choice in the Settings menu of the Color Settings dialog box. If you load a settings file that has been saved outside the recommended location, it temporarily replaces the Other option in the Settings menu until another settings file is loaded.
