Several questions to clarify my foggy vision...
1. Does Photoshop allow for soft proofing of images using a profile
from an n-color device?
2. While Photoshop does not support for adjustments in an n-color
space, if one were to adjust an image in RGB, then convert from RGB to
a n-color space via Photoshop would one loose any of the extra gamut
the n-color space profile affords, vs. say SWOP coated, since Photoshop
does not support n-color space adjustments? (OR am I being confused
here?)
3. If one were to take the above file that was converted to the n-color
space and send it via a RIP to a device that the n-color space profile
was made from/for; a) Would printing it without performing any color
conversion at the RIP, with the n-color space imbedded in the file,
defeat any of the extra gamut the printer & n-color space profile
combination affords? b) Would printing in the afore mentioned scenarios
achieve "better" (subjective) results if I were to just send an RGB
image to print via a RIP and let the RIP do the conversion for me(i.e.
would this method leverage the larger gamut of the printer & n-color
space profile since the RIP does the work?).
The last part of q-3 goes back to q-1(moot if Photoshop does support
soft proofing w/n-color space profiles); if Photoshop does not support
soft proofing using an n-color space, how would one reliably match
output color? I'm assuming flying completely by instruments?
TIA for any replies!
