Jas,
I wouldn’t expect Convert To to have any change on PS’s screen (unless its going to a smaller gamut, if that’s what you’re saying?)?
The source is being Converted to MonitorRGB…no matter the source, it is being viewed in MonitorRGB?
Maybe you have SoftProofing on?
In this particular case – yes there is a huge difference in conversion. I am trying different GCR settings – with Max K generation. Basically it is nothing more than a 4color black gradient going to white.
Previewing with just the C+m+y channels, I see no difference.
Once I commit to those changes, the CMY channels go blank. Huge difference.
In the preview, I should see those CMY channels go blank, but I dont.
Why?
I should add that the file is in CMYK mode. I dont have softproofing on.
What I see in the preview is NOT what I get.
Pretty sure that Convert to Profile doesn’t support per-channel previews, just the composite. For what you want to do, Proof Setup will work instead.
Thanks for the response Bruce.
I could’ve sworn it worked this way in PS 5.5. I havent tried it since then – but I guess I was mistaken.
Since PS 5.5 didn’t have Convert to Profile (it had the Profile-to-Profile command, which never previewed correctly anyway), I’d have to say that your recollection is faulty!
Funny thing – there is an ever-so-slight shift when previewing the CMY channels, but nothing like the final change.
His eyes are faulty too, Bruce.
Dont get me started on the UV lights with one of our presses here – I swear it’s starting to takes it’s toll.

It would be nice if we had some of that back. I mean the ability to adjust the source and destination profile and a few things in between.
Hmm..
tweener?
yes, tween me please………..
