I know you're all talking about printing through Photoshop, but I use Lightroom, so am I correct in assuming that "soft proofing" is NOT available in LR? I too noticed that if I'm supplying a paper profile from LR to the Epson 3800 driver with LR managing printing and not the driver, preview looks all washed out and with bad colors too. The print, however, comes out looking very good, so I just ignore the preview look, but it would be nice if the preview reflected the look of the final print. Am I missing something? Using LR under OS X.
