online and print versions?

2004-12-05 by daniel

another newbie question...

what do people do when they want to display their photos online and in print form? the 
obvious workflow would be to manipulate the image to your liking, save a jpg, then turn 
on softproofing, manipulate further (eg, increasing contrast with curves), and then save a 
second jpg. but this is clearly not optimal. for one thing, it's not clear to me that you 
shouldn't do all your manipulations of the image looking at a softproof for the final print. 
in that case, there's no online version to be saved halfway!

is there some way to have photoshop save a jpg of the image so that viewed online it will 
have the same appearance as a softproofed version?

i suppose you could scan the print back in. if the online image is for selling a print, that 
would be the honest thing to do, i suppose. but if you view the online version as an 
artifact in its own right, you surely wouldn't want the information loss that would entail.
