Hi
I posted this in Colour Management without much response so thought I'd try here. I'm still just a beginner with colour management, be gentle .
I have a NEC PA241W, use SpectraviewII and have created some calibration targets for photo editing and for glossy papers eg. GFS. and use sRGB mode to check critical exports.
Am using Lightroom 4.0, have watched LuLa LR4 & C2P2 tutorials (and many others, love them) and am trying to learn how to use softproofing.
My question is about using softproofing and Spectraview targets.
Do people leave monitor on one target for editing and soft-proofing ?
Or do you change targets to simulate the print? If you change monitor target do you check "simulate paper" in Softproofing?
Trying to understand if this would be double counting (double profiling).
I'm thinking I should use Spectraview to simulate the print and use Softproofing (with profile) to check out of gamut & rendering intent.
But if I change the monitor, doesn't this change the before view in before/after ?
What is recommended practice? Jeff / Michael ?
(apologies if this is in the video somewhere and i missed it - if so let me know which one).
cheers, Craig
