As I prepare to reinstall XP on my desktop, I noticed this program in my Add or Remove Programs. Does anyone know what this is and exactly what it does?

Tim - you don't use LR, just PS, correct? I'm wondering if it has something to do with using multiple apps.

I'm assuming you have the CS3 suite (or portions of it installed) and not a stand-alone installation of Photoshop.

As far as I can tell its related to using Adobe Bridge to centrally manage your color among the various CS3 applications. For example, in Bridge you can go to Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings and select the Color Settings File that is then shared by all the Adobe applications.

You don't need to save it; but it can't harm to save the underlying Color Settings files (CSF) so you don't have to recreate them. Then all you have to to after reinstallation is place them in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Sett​ings folder and manage them from within Bridge.

I have portions of the Creative Suite installed (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) and also Lightroom... I'm pretty sure that Adobe Color Common Settings entry appeared when I installed CS3 on a freshly formatted drive.

No, just CS3 and LR. As you mentioned, it must be something sharing the settings across applications, although I'm not sure how that would work. It would be nice if Adobe had something about it on their site, but I searched and didn't come up with anything. I didn't try the CS3 forum yet.

Sorry, I just read your question wrong. I have that in my add/remove programs too, no idea what it does.

Thanks Tim for the update. I hate it when there's stuff in there that I have no clue what's it doing.
