    Yes, but on CO Pro or DB 6 only, not on Express 6.

    I am on 6.2 Pro. Where do I access this? And can I load a printer ICC profile from my lab?

    View menu, Proof Profile. The default state is Selected Recipe and you are advised to return to that setting after proofing.

    Yes, store the profile in your user's or your computer's Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder.

    If I want to use a third party commercial, then I should also put that printer's ICC - such as forWhitewall ICC profile Fuji Archive matt/glossy , then I can also place it in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles.
    But of course I cannot soft-proof this, as I don't have that printer.
    All I see is a view on the screen that is off in color!!!

    Should I try to visually correct that view then?

    I hope I explain myself correctly

    Albert, a soft proof is a simulation of the colours as they may appear on paper when printing. If you have the icc of your printing lab in colorsync / profiles, you can use it for soft proofing. If the colours are far off, you may have to readjust your images, but typically this should be in increments (maybe a bit lighter or darker etc.).

    For critical work you need to print a test strip -- as in the darkroom. The soft proof is only an approximation.

    Thanks, Vincenz
    I am thinking in line with what you state, I'll have to order a small sample first then from Whitewall in stead of going for the big thing immediately.
    - The CYMK profiles (for the Epson printers) - those I cannot in any way get correct, they have such a wide gamut probably, they remain dull/opaque on screen when soft-proofing.
    - For the KodakPro profile I have tweaked a bit and found out that bringing the Levels sliders for the black point to about 7-11 and for the white-point to about 240-245 gives the original impression.
    I will test the latter in a proof-print.
    Once confirmed I can make a Preset (KodakPro adj.) out of that!! And then apply that preset in a separate session that I will call 'Whitewall', so I don't fuss with the originals.

    Better is that I make a proof picture of a grey-card (and maybe a color card) to check the obtained densities on screen on my Mac.

    With Whitewall I can send a TIFF, which is of course great for output from C1. Boy, do the files get big.
