Hi all,
Assume that I have a high resolution digital image ( say, 600ppi) and I want to soft-proof it before printing out. If I view the image with full size on a monitor’s screen, since the size of the digital image is quite large ( for example 3600 x 2400 pixels), it will be as if I were using a magnifier to view the printout. Therefore I can see a lot of artifacts and noises. However if I print this image out, since now the real size of the printed image is not that large (6 x 4 inches), the artifacts and noises I saw when soft-proofing will be almost invisible.
I am curious, when someone soft-proofs a high resolution image, does he view the image with full size (100%) or he zooms the image out so that the zoomed-out-image appears on the screen with similar size as that of the corresponding printout?
Thanks,
