About soft-proofing colors
In a traditional publishing workflow, you print a hard proof of your document to preview how its colors will look when
reproduced on a specific output device. In a color-managed workflow, you can use the precision of color profiles to soft-
proof your document directly on the monitor. You can display an on-screen preview of how your documents colors will
look when reproduced on a particular output device. Keep in mind that the reliability of the soft proof depends upon
the quality of your monitor, the profiles of your monitor and output devices, and the ambient lighting conditions of
your work environment.
Note: A soft proof alone doesn’t let you preview how overprinting will look when printed on an offset press. If you work with
documents that contain overprinting, turn on Overprint Preview to accurately preview overprints in a soft proof. For
Acrobat, the Overprint Preview option is automatically applied.
A Document is created in its working color space. B Document’s color values are translated to color space of chosen proof profile (usually the
output devices profile). C
Monitor displays proof profiles interpretation of documents color values.
Soft-proof colors
1 Choose View > Proof Setup, and do one of the following:
Choose a preset that corresponds to the output condition you want to simulate.
Choose Custom (Photoshop and InDesign) or Customize (Illustrator) to create a custom proof setup for a
specific output condition. This option is recommended for the most accurate preview of your final printed piece.
2 Choose View > Proof Colors to toggle the soft-proof display on and off. When soft proofing is on, a check mark
appears next to the Proof Colors command, and the name of the proof preset or profile appears at the top of the
document window.
To compare the colors in the original image and the colors in the soft proof, open the document in a new window before
you set up the soft proof.
Soft-proof presets
Working CMYK Creates a soft proof of colors using the current CMYK working space as defined in the Color Settings
dialog box.
Document CMYK (InDesign) Creates a soft proof of colors using the documents CMYK profile.
Working Cyan Plate, Working Magenta Plate, Working Yellow Plate, Working Black Plate, or Working CMY Plates
(Photoshop) Creates a soft proof of specific CMYK ink colors using the current CMYK working space.
Legacy Macintosh RGB (Photoshop and Illustrator) Creates a soft proof of colors simulating Mac OS 10.5 and earlier.
Internet Standard RGB (Photoshop and Illustrator) Creates a soft proof of colors simulating Windows and Mac OS
10.6 and later.
Monitor RGB (Photoshop and Illustrator) Creates a soft proof of RGB colors using your current monitor profile as
the proof profile.
The Legacy Macintosh, Internet Standard, and Monitor RGB options assume that the simulated device will display your
document without using color management. These options are unavailable for Lab or CMYK documents.
