Are you sure thats not Photoshop 7? This is identical to the symptoms that 
ProfilerPLUS exhibits under PS7 on Windows. The issue is a bug in Photoshop 6 
that would save and open files with the extension .pic as PICT files. This is 
corrected in PS7, but the targets in Profiler are labeled as (and searched 
for as) .pic, which causes a Photoshop 7 error. The workaround (until the PS7 
comparible version if the software is released) is to find the target in the 
Horses folder on your harddrive, change the extension to .pct (this requires 
viewing it with the "view file extensions" setting turned on) and then 
placing it anywhere convenient and opening it yourself, since the software 
won't open it for you with the new extension name. For CMYK profiles you 
would need to select or define the appropriate CMYK settings, open the RGB 
target manually, and use the "convert to CMYK" command in the menu.
