I have color information (data sets read from a spectrophotometer) that I need to get into an ACT (color table) file. I am looking for the file format information so I can create such a file (by programming). Do I have to obtain a SDK to get this information? I have been asking the ASN developers this question for almost three weeks and I can’t get an answer. Can somebody help me?

ACT = Adobe Color Table
ASN = Adobe Solutions Network. You have to be a dues paying member of ASN to get access to the Photoshop 7 SDK

Thanks Burton, but unfortunately I am continually reading colors from a Spectrophotometer (a research project). I have RGB (and LAB) data in a spreadsheet format. All I want to do is convert the data so Photoshop can read it. (With a significant amount of color sets and data it is unrealistic to enter the colors manually).

Does anyone know the data format for an ACT file?

ACT is the wrong format for it.

It sounds like you want to create swatches — those are the .ACO file format.

All of it is documented in the Photohsop SDK.
