For proofing you should be using Absolute Colorimetric, or RelCol with BPC turned off. On 8/1/13 12:00 PM, "colorsync-users-request@lists.apple.com" <colorsync-users-request@lists.apple.com> wrote:

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?
