Hi Roger,
I'm not planning on doing anything too exotic - just trying to help a friend who does a lot of design work exclusively in spot colours. I've wondered if indeed the software is intelligent enough to do a Lab to display profile conversion for the softproof. It would seem straightforward enough to do this for solids, but what happens when you throw a spot tint into the mix? Or a mix of different spot colours? I can't see such things being accurately softproofed.
I am of course leaving aside the issue of the monitor having a sufficient gamut, which my MacBook's display clearly does not.
Anyone from Adobe care to comment?
