"Proofing RGB data in a simulated CMYK preview"

[michaelmueller]

I just read about the new Silverfast Photo Proof and think it might help us with the colour shift problem when changing from RGB to CMYK.
We do have a RGB workflow with the ECI-RGB profile. The RGB data is converted in the Creo RIP of our printer to CMYK Euroscale coated but there happen ugly colour shifts noticeable in the blue sky, which looks than quite artificially.
When I use "Proofing RGB data in a simulated CMYK preview", can I play around with the RGB view and see a simulated view of the CMYK?

Dear Mr. M?ller.

When I use "Proofing RGB data in a simulated CMYK preview", can I play around with the RGB view and see a simulated view of the CMYK?

Your analysis is spot on!! That is one of the ideas behind it. You could for example use the selective colour correction tool to get rid of your (probably magenta) colour shifts in the blue sky.

Please note our new PDF which describes a sample SilverFast PhotoProof workflow.
