Hi Roger,
One way or another I do. At home where I do my personal work I am working
almost exclusively in RGB and using a full ICC workflow. There I use PS
softproof as I described in my last post.
At work where we are still working completely in CMYK I have not
established complete ICC workflows yet. When it makes sense to switch to a
RGB workflow we will go ICC the whole way. Right now we are using elements
of it but the loop is not closed. A full CMYK workflow is not hard to
manage using traditional methods of linearization, LUTs, etc, provided you
are using high-end gear.
But in both cases we are soft proofing continuously. The fly in the
ointment is QuarkXpress, and that is not just re color management. I would
love to switch to InDesign but it may not happen.
Also, let me suggest you not automatically exclude the vendor supplying
scans without profiles. If their work is good otherwise it will be
consistent, and as such you could tag it when you get it and use ColorSync
from then on. Once you have assigned a profile and your monitor is properly
calibrated/PS set correctly, you should have a very good idea of what you
have. Try assigning the profile for your normal workspace (Adobe RGB?) and
see what you get. I have found little visual difference on the monitor
between sRGB and Adobe RGB. If you were using PhotoCD, you are buying batch
scans, and you are not getting random proofs the work probably isn't so
critical that you would reject a scan for any but the most gross problem
(?) so I don't see why this would not work.

Same here. But, as long as I edit the file in RGB and I don't see
particularely saturated colors, I don't use Photoshop's CMYK soft-proofing.
But your point is well taken.
Do you systematically soft-proof all the time as you work in your RGB
projects?
