Re: problem with soft proofing

2011-07-27 by benoit.lantoine

Hello Paul, thanks for the explanations

I still have a problem with getting good blacks as mentionned above :


> The "CC22" version is probably based on just a straight (no curve) print of a 21-step file.  The soft proof I got from it seems to have a good black on my monitor.  The print should have the same dmax as the other ICC. These do not affect the 100% black point.


I have done some screenshots available here in order to explain my dynamic range problem. get the jpg pointed here : http://blantoine.eu/images/softproofing.jpg

- Image at the left is the original picture
- In the midle, softproofing preview with no "simulate paper color" 
- At the right, softproofing preview with "simulate paper color"

Hope you can see what I mean : the problem seems to come from the "simulate paper color" option.

Should I use this option or not ?

Thanks.
