I've been stress testing an iMac 20" that I had just repaired, and figured I'd play a bit with Lightroom in the process. Having used PS since 7, soft proofing has been about the only thing keeping me on that upgrade path. With LR 3 Beta, and rumors of soft proofing finally being implemented, now seemed like a good time to check it out.
After finally figuring out Print Job and Page Setup, I tried a couple of prints with an R1900(latest driver). When I hit the Print button, it pops up the small pane labeled "Print" showing the printer name, presets, etc. Hitting the Print button on that just starts the printer working without pulling up the Print Dialog pane where you turn off printer control and choose paper and print quality. At no time did a printer icon pop up in the Dock before the printer started printing.
I hadn't changed anything in Print Job for the first print and it looked OK. The second time I plugged in my usual parameters in Print Job and it looked horrible. No big surprise as there was no way to wrestle control away from the printer. Is this something with 3 Beta, or am I missing something? I have no prior experience with LR, and unfortunately the Help feature wasn't much.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
