Digital BW, The Print

Carl's blending action was designed as a means of soft proofing hue under
the old workflow (pre use of perceptual intent to map from workspace to
print space).  If you want to soft proof hue you will need to make your own
soft proof ICC files from output generated with the new workflow.  Unless I
am mistaken, Carl has not updated these hue proofs for the new workflow.
(The proofs were intended primarily to preview the workspace to print space
mapping rather than hue.  Now that mapping process has been significantly
improved and can be soft proofed from the actual ICC profiles used (QTR Gray
Photo/Matte Paper) in the perceptual conversion process.)
