Individual corrections in each of the above directories are saved as a pair of files; a .lsi
file which contains a thumbnail for visually identifying that grade, and the specific file
for that type of correction which actually defines its settings. Unless you customized
the name, both these files have the same name, followed by a dot, followed by the
date (day month year hour.minute.secondTimeZone), followed by the file extension
that identifies the type of saved correction it is.
 Grade_Name.date.lsi: The thumbnail image used to represent that grade in icon view
 Grade_Name.date.pcc: Primary correction file
 Grade_Name.date.scc: Secondary correction file
 Grade_Name.date.cfx: Color FX correction file
Saved grades are, in fact, file bundles that contain all the correction files that make up
that grade. For example, a grade that combines primary, secondary, and Color FX
corrections would be a directory using the name given to the grade,
“Grade_Name.date.grd,” containing the following files:
 Grade_Name.date.lsi
 Grade_Name.date.pcc
 Grade_Name.date.scc
 Grade_Name.date.cfx
Reorganizing Saved Corrections and Grades in the Finder
Each of the correction bins in Color simply mirrors the contents of the corresponding
subdirectory in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color directory. You
can use the Finder to reorganize your saved corrections and grades by creating new
subdirectories and moving previously saved grades and corrections into them.
When you move saved corrections from one directory to another, it’s important to
make sure that you copy both the .lsi thumbnail image for that grade, and the .pcc,
.scc, or .cfx file that contains the actual grade information, together.
If you reorganize saved grades and corrections in the Finder while Color is open, you’ll
need to manually refresh the contents of the Grades and corrections bins you changed
so that they correctly display the current contents.
To update the contents of the currently displayed correction bin:
