Hello,
thanks for your reply. Let me make sure that I understand this
correctly.
You first assign the Adobe RGB profile because it has the widest,
reasonable gamut.
Then I assume you correct the image to your liking, knowing what you
see on (in theory) your perfectly calibrated monitor shows you is true.
Then you decide on the output device, get a profile for it, e.g. ink
jet, proofer, press etc., assign it to your image, thereby changing the
pixel values to make them look like what you see on your screen will
come out of the target device. At this the image appearance should not
have changed on screen.
At this point you probably do a "save as" and embed the target device
profile.
Now to verify, you use proof setup with the same target device profile.
Should you see a difference here?
Now last question. If you print now from Photoshop 7, the source
profile would now automatically be the one that was "converted to"
before. In my case here now my HP printer. The print space should now
be Profile: Same as Source, correct?
In the printer option dialog box I have something called "Automatic
Image Enhancement". That should probably be turned off I assume.
I think I get it now and I am ready to "waste" some expensive ink and
paper on some tests.
Thank you very much!!!
Sincerely,
Arnold

Hi Arnold.
In my opinion you should;
1. Open the image into Photoshop.
2. Assign Adobe 1998 rgb.
3. Use Convert to Profile with relative colorimetric rendering and
black
point compensation to convert to a profile of your output device.
Really you should have a profile made of your output device. You could
try
converting to one of the canned profiles supplied with your output
device
The results from this will not be as good as a using a custom made
profile.
If your output device uses an RGB driver make an RGB profile and print
RGB
this will retain as much of the colour gamut as possible.
To see on screen how this will look when printed use the view - proof
setup
controls in PS to load you output profile as a display profile.
If you intend to distribute these images, distribute the ones that are
tagged adobe 1998 not the ones converted for you specifc output
(basically
leave out step 3).
It works for me and several photographers I regularly work with.
