Digital BW, The Print

Craig,

In Photoshop go to View>Proof Setup>Custom.

Under "Profile" select the curve you created and saved in steps #4 and #5 of
Tyler's instructions. Click on "Save" and give this "Proof Setup" a name
that you will remember like "Selenium PT on PhotoRag".

Then when you have a file open click on View>Proof Setup the custom proof
setup name you just created will appear at the bottom of the drop down.

What you are seeing is on screen is now a correction of your file to more
closely match your printer output.

* Paul, (or others...)
* 
* A curiosity I have with the approach outlined in Tyler's approach is 
* its ability (or inability) to work with the Conetech Piezography 
* plugin in Photoshop.
* 
* I have played with this approach on numeroous occasions without any 
* success. I have found that I need to actually load (hit the OK 
* button) in the colour preferences and set the custom dot-gain as my 
* greyscale working space.
* 
* Obviously, the result of this is images appear on screen and print 
* fine within MY closed Photoshop system, however, in order to move 
* images outside of the system I need to convert to RGB, for example, 
* to re-map the tonal values back into something more mainstream.
* 
* Being able to move this custom dot-gain "transfer function" from the 
* frontend of Photoshop to the backend has definate benefits. 
* Unfortunately, I have had NO success while using the Piezography 
* plugin. Has anyone else overcome this problem...
* 
* regards
