* Hi Martin,
* 
* Thanks for the tip...I'll look into your suggestion. The one 
* thing I don't like about setting a Custom Dot Gain as your 
* gray working space is that it's paper specific. In other 
* words, if an image is worked up in PS with the working space 
* set for one paper (PR, for example) and, then, you decide to 
* print on a different paper (EEM, maybe) you've got a 
* problem...the current "soft proof", if you will, could be 
* (probably will be) incorrect.

You are right. You should have a standard gray working space, generally Gray
Gamma 2,2, and us it for all files. That's why Tyler's method works so well.
It is a true soft proof method as Adobe intended with PS. The Proof Profiles
actually become common profiles available to other Adobe applications as
well.
