Soft Proofing Colors in Photoshop

Photoshop allows you to preview on-screen how your image will look on a variety of output devices. First, choose View➪Proof Setup and select your desired setup. The Working options are based on the working spaces you specified in the Color Settings dialog box.

-->Macintosh RGB and Windows RGB display your image as it will appear on a standard Macintosh or Windows monitor. This can come in handy when you want to see how your Web graphic will generally look on another platform.

-->Monitor RGB allows you to view the image by using your current monitor’s color space. This essentially turns off your RGB working space and lets you see the image without any color management.

-->Custom allows you to choose a specific device. For example, choosing U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)v2 lets you to see how your RGB images will look when they’re converted to CMYK for printing. After you have chosen your setup, choose View➪Proof Colors to view the image in your chosen working space. For the most reliable results, use a good quality monitor. And don’t forget about the importance of setting up a good viewing environment as well. Also keep in mind that although soft-proofing is a good thing, it is not a substitute for a good quality hard copy proof. Some things, such as the type and quality of paper, certain inks, and so on cannot be accurately simulated on-screen.
