3. Once you have defined the color space in which you are going to work, you can if
you like make a soft proof, which means emulating on the screen how the image
will look when printed. To do this, you will need an ICC profile for your monitor.
Select View > Proof Setup > Custom. Use the following information to select
options in the Proof Setup window.
–
Profile: choose the profile based on the printer model and paper type you
intend to use.
– Preserve Color Numbers: this checkbox tells the application how to
simulate the document's appearance without converting colors from the
Document Space to the Proof Profile Space. It simulates the color shifts that
may occur when the document's color values are interpreted using the Proof
Profile instead of the Document Profile. This option is not recommended.
– Intent: this menu allows you to choose a rendering intent for the conversion
from document space to simulation space, letting you preview the effects of
different renderings. See “How do I set the rendering intent?” on page 140.
– Use Black Point Compensation: this option is recommended if you have
chosen the Relative Colorimetric rendering intent. See “How do I perform
black point compensation?” on page 140.
– Paper White: this checkbox emulates the whiteness of the paper on the
monitor. The effect is the same as using the Absolute Colorimetric rendering
intent.
– Ink Black: this checkbox turns off the black point compensation for the
rendering from simulation to the monitor. So, if the simulation space black is
lighter than the monitor black, you will see the washed-out blacks on the
monitor. This option is not recommended.
– Preview: if this checkbox is enabled (recommended), the changes you make
in this window are reflected in the image immediately.
