Ttypical installation location of the files in question::
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\color books\*.acb
The colour palettes which contain references by colour NAME or some other independant index. Various PANTONE processes are included with Photoshop, but for a series of projects, I’d lilke to have a custom set of *NAMED* colours in my own palette – handing a palette file to to someone and referring to colours by NAME seems a far more intuitive. If by any chance, they can be loaded into Illustrator as well, that would be excellent.
I fully understand the process of creating an .ACO palette, and creating swatches there entails naming the entries, but these are not available in the colour picker – you can’t choose a palette entry by name from the swatch palette, even if hovering over each cell might tell you the assigned name.
The .ACB file format used by Photoshop doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere. Pointers to documentation of that format would be beneficial.
Thanks.
