I think I found the issue...but I can't figure out why this may be happening.
I am using Capture One Pro 9 and I created an output recipe that uses the custom printer profile I created. When editing my image I select this process which allows me to see a soft proof. Once I'm done editing I then print the image and make sure to select my custom printer profile...and for the most part the print matches my screen. Except for a print I did last night.
I have been reading about how to generate soft-proofs using tifficc, mainly following Torger's tutorial here:
http://www.ludd.ltu.se/~torger/photography/argyll-print.html#soft_proofingOut of curiosity, I ran my "original" image through the following command:
tifficc -v -w -t1 -b -m3 -d0 -e -p PP\ Epson\ Premim\ Luster\ RELCOL.icc -o ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/iMac\ \#1\ 2015-12-12\ 13-06\ 2.2\ M-S\ XYZLUT+MTX.icc 2011-05-07_06-24-05.tif proof.tif
According to the documentation, this will process my original image using my custom printer profile, and then will run it through my custom display profile to create a soft proof.
Strangely enough, when viewing the proof.tif on my screen it matches my print exactly! (I've attached the "original" and the soft-proof below).
My question is:
Since my print matches the soft proof generated by the tifficc command above, why is this not what I see in Capture One? My understanding of the display pipeline is to render the raw data, then send it through the custom print profile in my output recipe, then send it through the display profile to generate the image on screen. As shown by the tifficc command above, this is what happens there too.
As shown in the attached images, the "proof" (which matches my print) has a distinct overabundance of amber in the skin tones.
