When I choose the "Proof Color" menu item for a color sampler (from the eyedropper menu within the Info palette), what exactly is it showing me?
Is it the value that the actual color is mapped to using the currently selected soft proofing profile?
If so, are these then the color values that are sent to the monitor (and mapped again by the monitor profile) when I turn soft proofing on? (I understand that they must pass through a conversion in and out of PCS along the way.)
If I select the monitor profile as the current soft proofing profile, are the "Proof Color" numbers then showing me the values that the monitor profile maps the "Actual Color" values to?
Thanks!
