Soft-proofing for more accurate viewing
Soft-proofing lets you preview the color. You can then make color adjustments, if
necessary.
To soft proof your images in Photoshop CS2:
1. Choose View > Proof Setup, and then click Custom.
Photoshop CS2 provides a user-friendly dialog for selecting soft proofing options.
2. In the Customize Proof Condition dialog box, select the profile that represents your
printer and media from the Device to Simulate menu.
3. Select a Rendering Intent.
Note: Relative Colorimetric, which is the default rendering intent, works well with
many types of imagery when Black Point Compensation is selected. Perceptual
Rendering Intent also provides good color mapping from the image's color space to the
printer's color space. When printing, use the same rendering intent as the one selected
for soft-proofing. For more information about rendering intents, see the Photoshop CS2
Help documentation.
4. To simulate the paper color of the media, select Simulate Paper.
5. If you want to reuse this custom setting, click Save and give the setting a file name.
The file will be listed in the Proof Setup menu.
6. Click OK. The display simulates how the document will appear on the printer. If
necessary, make edits to adjust the color.
