Hi John,
The Proof Setup function is intended to show you how the file will appear
when converted to the device profile ("Device to Simulate") - although it's
not limited to device profiles, you can use working space profiles, for
example. Anyway, think of it as an on-the-fly profile conversion from the
image's color space to that "...Simulate" profile, which is then displayed
via another conversion to your monitor profile. So yes, soft-proofing can
help in deciding about applying corrections to a file before you actually
output it.
To display how the file would appear if sent "as is" (no conversion to the
"...Simulate" profile, enable the "Preserve RGB Numbers" (or CMYK, if that
color space) checkbox.
HTH,
John
