I would like to work in Adobe RGB (or Prophoto RGB) and then do a soft proofing with the selected paper/(ink/printer).
I want to either
a) look at the two images side by side - "RGB" and "selected paper"
or b) look at them with a quick swap "RGB/"selected paper".
I would like to do it on an image by image basis, and not changing every image to "selected paper".
Anybody know if this can be done in CO 8.2?
well, C1 actually doesn't provide "softproofing" as you know it from Photoshop or Lightroom or so.
The actual dialogue is called "proof", not "softproof" ... and maybe it's even called "proof" for a reason.
All a "proof" will do in C1 is to preview the conversion of your RAW to a certain profile seleceted in the "proof" dialogue (with the rendering intend choosen in the prefs).
While it can be very useful to preview the conversion to a certain printer profile it still has nothing to do with the preview options Photoshop and (in a limited way) Lightroom provide when softproofing ... namely the simulaton of "paper white" and the so called "black ink" of a printer profile.
If previewing the conversion to a printer profile is what you aim at the best way to go back and forth is this:
- set your desired rendering intend in the prefs of C1 (I assume "perceptual" is what you want...)
- create a new "process recipe" (tool: "process recepies") and set your printer profile in question as target color space in the "process recipe" tool (see attachment ... "Epson Trad PRINT" in this exapmle is the naming of the process recipe and below you can see the actual profile choosen ("Epson_Traf_Photo_neu")...)
- click on your main process recipe (AdobeRGB in your case) and then click on the printer profile's recipe (click on the name so that the entry is marked in orange)... and then click back on your AdobeRGB-recipe
hope that helps...
