I’d like to know exactly what soft proofing does. I think I read in some Microsoft ICC API documentation that it does something like the following:
1. Convert from the image space to the output space, using the rendering intent which the user selects
2. Convert from this intermediate image, which is now in the output space, to the monitor space, using absolute rendering intent.
Is this what Photoshop 7.01 does?
Also, what exactly does the "simulate paper white" setting do? Does this change the rendering intent in step 2?
Or, is it simply not possible to describe Photoshop’s soft proofing in a simplified manner like the above?
Thanks,
Greg.
