Hi Steve, many thanks for your answer. I tried the profile conversion before I posted my question but it seems that I cannot imitate the "simulate black Ink" feature of the soft proof by this method. If I use rel col the contrast is much too high compared to the soft proof. With perceptual rendering the contrast looks more similar but is still a little too high. Would you recommend to use the curves tool to adjust the black values of the converted image or is there any other trick? Regards, Peter Baumbach

Hi all,
I have printed black & white images with ImagePrint and used their special b&w non icc profiles and the split toning feature. I also made an icc profile to be able to soft-proof the image in Photoshop before printing with ImagePrint.
How can I "copy" the soft-proofed image including the special split tones and the paper black simulation? I need realistic files for my web site.
If you like what you see on screen, try converting to profile TO your print profile (rel col), and then converting to profile TO sRGB (also rel col)
Your results will depend on how your soft proofing profile was made but I think it should work for you.
regards,
Steve
