Title: Soft proof paper checkbox? Post by: hp-qimage on March 11, 2021, 11:17:35 AM Just a question:
When I select Soft proof / print preview a 'paper' checkbox is shown (see attached screenshot). I can't find what the purpose of this checkbox is, nor can I see the effect on the soft proof when I check or uncheck it. Can someone please enlighten me? Title: Re: Soft proof paper checkbox?

On screen view? Still don't get it, maybe it is my deteriorating 74 years old brain :o I do understand the BPC and Gamut switches, no problem there. But the whole purpose of soft-proofing is to take the paper profile into account, isn't it? Title: Re: Soft proof paper checkbox?

With the box unchecked, it doesn't try to simulate the white of the paper but instead uses the white point of your monitor. If you check the paper box, it'll simulate the white of the paper (on your monitor). Depending on the paper, checking that box can make the soft proof look a bit dull because your monitor may be able to produce a better white than the paper.
