RE: Soft proof

Yves and David,

>From the web site of Keith Taylor I quote:

"Recently I've been working with an excellent colour management expert, Rick
Haring of Picture Farm Inc. in Minneapolis, to construct a profile for the
three-colour gum dichromate process. Converting the working file from Adobe
RGB to my profile allows me to soft proof the image and get a realistic idea
of how it will appear on paper when printed in gum."

Soft proof is available in PS7 (look under View - Proof Setup). You need a
printer profile to make it do anything useful. I'm not sure how you could
soft proof an alt print, but its a nice idea!
