Monitor RGB soft-proofs colors in an RGB document using your current monitor color
space as the proof profile space. This option is unavailable for Lab and CMYK
documents.
•
Simulate Paper White previews the specific shade of white exhibited by the print
medium defined by a document’s profile. This option is not available for all profiles and
is available only for soft-proofing, not printing.
•
Simulate Ink Black previews the actual dynamic range defined by a document’s profile.
This option is not available for all profiles and is available only for soft-proofing, not
printing.

Choose View > Proof Colors to turn the soft-proof display on and off. When soft
proofing is on, a check mark appears next to the Proof Colors command.
When soft proofing is on, the name of the current proof profile appears next to the color
mode in the document’s title bar.
To create a custom proof setup:
1
Choose View > Proof Setup > Custom.
If you want the custom proof setup to be the default proof setup for documents, close
all document windows before choosing the View > Proof Setup > Custom command.
2
Select Preview to display a live preview of the proof settings in the document while the
Proof Setup dialog box is open.
3
To use a preset proof setup as a starting point, choose it from the Setup menu. If the
desired setup does not appear in the menu, click Load to locate and load the setup.
4
For Profile, choose the color profile for the device for which you want to create the
proof.
5
If the proof profile you chose uses the same color mode as the document, do one of
the following:
•
Select Preserve Color Numbers to simulate how the document will appear without
converting colors from the document space to the proof profile space. This simulates
the color shifts that may occur when the document’s color values are interpreted using
the proof profile instead of the document profile.
•
Deselect Preserve Color Numbers to simulate how the document will appear if colors
are converted from the document space to their nearest equivalents in the proof profile
space in an effort to preserve the colors’ visual appearances. Then specify a rendering
intent for the conversion. (See
“Specifying a rendering intent” on page 110
.)

If needed, select any of the following:
•
Simulate Paper White to preview, in the monitor space, the specific shade of white
exhibited by the print medium described by the proof profile. Selecting this option
automatically selects the Simulate Ink Black option.
•
Simulate Ink Black to preview, in the monitor space, the actual dynamic range defined
by the proof profile.
The availability of these options depends on the proof profile chosen. Not all profiles
support both options.
