I have used Tyler Boley's write-up of 'matching your monitor's view to your print' for some time now with good success. Thank you Tyler. I am starting to experiment with different papers and, unless I have misunderstood something, this requires re-editing the image a little for each paper. I have created a number of 'profiles', one for each paper I use. I select the EAM profile and use that until I am fairly happy with the image. Then, if I want to use another paper, I select that 'profile' within the soft proof set-up. Of course the image on screen changes to what it will look like on the new paper and I have to edit the image again to make it look like I want it to on the new paper. Would it be equivalent, in terms of matching the print on different papers to the screen, to edit the image is some default space like gamma 2.2 and then use the 'convert to profile' function in PS to convert the image to these same paper specific profiles just before printing. That way I would only have to edit the image once. As long as the profiles I create are good, I can print the image on any paper I use without re-editing? This may be obvious to many, but I find the whole color management/calibration thing a little baffling. There seems to be an endless number of ways to get it wrong. Kevin
