2.3.2 softproofing: on-screen color accuracy

2.3.2 softproofing: on-screen color accuracy

2005-11-26 by edrudolpho

Hi all.... I've just installed 2.3.2 and redone my soft-proofs.  In terms of luminance the 
monitor to print match is pretty good.  However, the color is off.  Are there any 2.3.2 
issues with this or is it my problem?

In what way is the color off?   In the highlights? Too warm/cool.

Are you using simulate Paper White and/or Ink Black?

Roy, I think I've found this is a "time-of-day" issue, related to ambient light in my 
workroom.  The color match seems okay when I get the ambient light under control.

I did discover a weird property of the CS2 proof setup dialog along the way.  In the proof 
setup dialog, with the preview between unchecked, I get a full simulate ink black/paper 
white preview.

Ed, if you already had a soft-proof setup when you go into soft-proof setup dialog
the Preview button toggles between new proof and old proof, not between new proof 
and no proof.  This can be a little surprising until you realize what its doing.
