The answer has sometimes been that they were redoing it from scratch, in a different way... and it has been said today that it was a tough decision not to include it, but the feature wasn't completely ready. So we're down to hope for a very improbable alpha leak I guess.
Too bad, I was also impatiently waiting for it, to really complete the workflow (even if printing from LR is already ahead of PS in workflow terms).
Hi Nicolas, where did you read that, about it being a tough decision not to include soft proofing?...
me too, waiting for it to complete a very nice workflow...
I guess it is hard to imagine it as a 3.x upgrade for free, but I'm hoping it's doable, hoping it gets done...
also hard to imagine waiting another 18 months for it...
don't get me wrong, I'm lovin' Lightroom, it's evolving into a very useful program for me, so I don't mean to put it down...just soft proofing would be a good thing...and way back, around 2008, jeff schewe made it sound like soft proofing would come to lightroom 3, but i guess all these things are up in the air until they aren't...
that said, does Aperture do parametric soft proofing? how about capture one?...I haven't checked the competition, yet...though when I bought LR 2 in 2008 I tried a trial of Aperture 3 and just couldn't get used to it...same for an Aperture 3 trial (don't recall it having soft proof ability without exporting to tiff, etc.)...
