Hi David,

So "preview" means soft proofing in PS right?

So going by what you say above, in my situation where I really want 
to match the prints to the monitor softproof - i will then have to 
use 2 profiles. 

Profile 'A' will be the profile used in the PS soft proof and is not 
to be used for printing. Profile 'B'(originally from profile 'A') 
will then contain the slider adjustments (to make the match to the 
soft proof) and will be used not for soft proofing but for printing 
only. The aim is Profile 'B' then will make the prints match to the 
PS Soft Proof (Profile A).

Another way of explaining is: after the necessary adjustment slider 
changes are applied and the new profile rebuild - the new profile 
cannot be used on the soft proof in PS. It will only be used in 
printing.

Why can't the disabled 'Show Edits in Preview' totally disregard the 
adjustment slider setting effect in the soft proof? Its current 
function (if you say there's nothing wrong with it) does not serve 
any purpose. You say the disabled 'show edits...' will continue to 
partially display the adjustment slider settings in PS Soft Proof - 
what good will that do me? 

I can also reason out why you would say the profile should always 
change the soft proof - because the soft proof is meant to show the 
printer profile effects to the screen. And this would also include 
all subsequent adjustment effect.

So if there's nothing wrong with the 'Show Edits in Preview' then 
i'll have to use the 2 profiles method. 

Here's an example of the naming of the 2 profiles method used: 

IP8500_V1_SOFT_PROOF (Profile A)
IP8500_V1_Print_CY+10 (Profile B for printing only and had Cyan +10 
adjustment made to it)


What's your opinion about that?
