What is a .AMP file?

An AMP file is a special kind of file used by Adobe Photoshop, which is a popular program for editing pictures. This file stores a color adjustment curve. Imagine you have a photo, and you want to change how its colors look—maybe make the reds redder or the blues bluer. In Photoshop, you can use a tool called Curves to do this. When you use the Curves tool, you can pull and push a line to shape how colors change in your photo. If you create a shape or curve that you really like and want to use again, you can save it. This saved curve is what's stored in an AMP file.

So, an AMP file helps you adjust the colors in a photo in a very specific way that you've decided works well. It's like saving a recipe for the perfect color adjustments that you can use over and over again on different photos to get the same effect.

To open an AMP file, you need to use Adobe Photoshop 2023. Since it's a file type specifically made for Photoshop, it's not something you can open with just any program. You would open Photoshop, go to the Curves tool, and then load your AMP file to apply those saved color adjustments to the photo you're working on.
