Re: [Digital BW] softproofing with "Roark" curves

2002-01-15 by Jerry Olson

Paul's curves work great with many papers. Your file must be in RGB ( I
use Adobe rgb 1998) , Heavyweight matte media setting, same as source in
the printer dialogue box. This is what I use for Epson Archival Matte
water color paper, Epson Archival Matte paper, Photo Matte paper, and
Eclipse Satine.  For Photo Matte and Satine, you need to make about a 15
point adjustment in the middle levels slide in  the dialogue box towards
a darker image. You make this levels adjustment in photoshop on its own layer.
