Proofing requires some allowance for proofing stock; if I proof on biege
press stock, then I need a different intent than if I proof on bright white
proofing stock. And if I wish to emulate the dull black point of the monitor
I need an adjustment not necessary if I proof on absorbent press stock,
etc... so no single intent is going to server all cases. Thats what the
checkboxes are for... to adjust by the case.

Yes I know things are not so - to say - Black&White with PS6 and
color, and you need many kind of settings or workflows (you want to
name them). There is no one single right answer as usual...
The main point I wanted to say was that you can set PS6 to simulate
different presses/paper stocks on your monitor (proofing on paper is
a different story) and also you can simulate the way
(percptual/relative) you actually separate.

So you can get the best softproof
setting manually View_ProofSetup_Custom_Profile(cmyk-profile you are
going to use)_Intent(you are going to
use)_Simulate(PaperWhite/InkBlack/Preview checked).
For future use you can save these settings with descriptive names and
you are one click away from softproofing (with different views for
different intents/presses) picture before actually separating file.
When you have a large amount of pics going to different presses
(profiled) you can check the tonal appearance quickly by saved proof
settings.
One thing (important) more. You must have set perceptual/actual
press pofile in color settings for this kind of softproofing to work
correctly. It is also important to have it perceptual (as discussed
earlier) to get safer separations by pressing CMYK-tab.
