CMYK Proof and correction

David Umberto Zappa
Hi everyone. I was wondering if there is a precise correction mode for CMYK output.
Basically, I am editing an image obviously in Adobe RGB and as a standard procedure I also use the "Normalize Color" tool which is very useful.
Final out-put must be in CMYK in a very specific profile which off course messes up mainly red and green.

So, the idea is to create an adjustment layer, turning on Proof Profile and adjust accordingly the tones trying to get back as close as possibile to the RGB render. Then finally output to the required CMYK profile.

But, my question is: is there a way to compare on screen the original and the variant and work on the tones of the variant with the proofing on?
Or, can I have a CMYK readout of the RGB image, use the Normalize color tool and copy into it the required values for the variant to be outputted.

Thank you.
David

    I wouldn't do that. That's not what it's for.

    Compare the original RGB image with the poof printed with the specific profile on the specific printer.

    Ok, I imagined (feared) this would be the only solution. Thank you!!!

    well the printer profile isn't mean to be used for viewing. So it wouldn't make much sense to try and edit it to "look" right on the screen.
