Grayscale soft-proofing

2009-01-05 by John Arnold

Hi,

Thanks for your help earlier today. I worked out the file naming problem but noticed a 
peculiar thing when I soft proofed one of the grayscale images provided by DataColor. The 
profile that I used was made from the expert target plus the extended grayscale target. When 
I clicked the on screen soft-proofing on and off I noticed that the image actually warmed up 
with a slight sepia tint when the soft proof box was checked.

Why is that? I expected to see a change in tonal range, but not a small color shift. Upon 
output, it does appear that the image might have a slight sepia tint to it, but I did not add 
that tint when I originally built the profile. Any ideas what's going on?

John
