U.S. Web Coated SWOP v2....what is it really called and where does it reside?

The default/generic CMYK of choice is described as U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. That is also the CMYK space inclued in the North American General Purpose 2 sychronized color setting in Bridge.

But - if you download the folder of ICC profiles from the Adobe website, there is no such file inside. There is one called USWebCoatedSWOP.icc.  Is that the same thing?

Also, can someone tell me where the ICC profiles that shipped with my Creative Suite programs reside on my hard drive? I'm using CS4 on a Mac.

"There is one called USWebCoatedSWOP.icc.  Is that the same thing?"

Yes, that is the same profile. Profiles have an internal and an external name and they're not always the same. If you double click on that profile and open it in the ColorSync Utility, you'll see the more commonly used name there.

"Also, can someone tell me where the ICC profiles that shipped with my Creative Suite programs reside on my hard drive?"

Thanks very much. However, I have to say - I opened the profile in ColorSync Utility but did not see the alternative name.
