In a nutshell...
If I soft proof a photograph in PhotoShop 7 (Mac OS 10.3) using Proof
Colors, the soft proof looks normal.
If I print the photo to my Epson 2000p, or click Preview in the print dialog
box and view the resulting PDF on-screen, it looks terrible. Way too red and
faded. Clearly a mistake.
But...
If I print or print>preview the same file from Apple's Preview application,
the results look fine. Exactly what I'd expect.
Something's going wrong in PhotoShop.
Here's some details of my settings:
- My default RGB space set to Adobe RGB 1998 in Preferences in the 10.3
ColorSync Utility.
- Color settings in PhotoShop are set to ColorSync Workflow.
- Upon opening the file in PhotoShop for the first time, the color space is
converted from sRGB to the working space (Adobe RGB 1998)
- Proof Set-Up is set for Epson's 2000p profile using Archival Matte paper.
(Keep in mind, the issue here isn't that the factory profiles aren't as good
as custom profiles. It's that I get reasonable results in Apple's
applications, and bad results in PhotoShop.)
- In Photoshop's Print With Preview dialog box, I have the Source Space set
to the working profile (Adobe RGB 1998), and the Print Space set to the
appropriate 2000p Archival Matte profile.
- In the final Print dialog box, I have Color Management set to ColorSync.
Where do I begin to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
Doug
