I am getting a number of images printed at a pro lab and have downloaded their printer profile.
I need to be sure that the image I see on the monitor is replicated correctly on their printer ie colour, brightness etc etc.
Would this be the correct workflow to achieve this:
1. open original image in Adobe RGB
2. make all necessary adjustments ie levels, colour, sharpness etc etc etc until image looks right (to my taste)
3. duplicate the final image
4. soft proof the original image and make further adjustments to get soft proofed image to look the same as the duplicated image
Normally when soft proofing or converting to their profile the image looks verrry dull. Is the idea that the soft proofed image will look exactly the way their printer will create the final image? Therefore further adjustments are required to the soft proofed image. How is this different to converting to their profile (ie no soft proofing) and then making further adjustments to get the converted image to look right?
