The only *.acf files on my system are related to PageMaker <shrug>

I have a couple "*.acf" files associated with Pagemaker, and several associated with Freehand.

They're color libraries, and if there were similar files associated with Photoshop, they would've shown up as well when I searched my hard drive. (then again, I run Macs, so not all files have an extension associated with the filename.)

I don't see the file extension ".acf"預s associated to color libraries様isted on the WhatIs.com File Extension List page <http://whatis.techtarget.com/fileFormatA/0,289933,sid9,00.html>, but they do list it as follows:

ACF .............. HTTP character file (Microsoft Agent)

... for whatever the heck that's worth.

Are you sure you have that extension spelled right? And what source of information informed you that you'd want to install the "*.acf" file you have so that it worked in conjunction with Photoshop?

Further research addendum: I see from another file extension list <http://www.icdatamaster.com/a.html> that "*.acf" is also an extension designating it as an Adobe Custom Filter for Photoshop. This would be a file generated by FilterFactory. Just out of curiosity, what's the rest of the name of the file?

Try dropping that file in your Plugins folder, restart Photoshop and see if it shows up in your "Filters" menu.

downloaded them from adobe studio exchange, they are filters for edge fx for images. Just realized they are Custom filter setting so i must need another program besides PS to use them. This is what the read me file says

-------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------

Windows 95/98, Photoshop 3.05 or higher, or Ultimate Paint 2.x

------------
INSTALLATION
------------

Unzip all the *.acf files to a suitable directory then load them
into your host application. Please refer to your program's
documentation for further information

It doesn't look like you need another application from the readme, but Photoshop 3.0 was released when Moses was a baby, so it could be that PS used to use that extension for filters, but as Phospor said, they're color libs for PageMaker 7 on my system. <shrug>

Peace,
Tony
