Accidently get stuck in "Soft Proofing mode".

..via an accidental key stroke.. Note that it is not listed here on this keyboard help page:

Right now I have to exit LR.   It looks like it's replacing or otherwise comendering the histogram. This looks like a cool addition although am not likely to use it myself (rarely need the accuracy but when I do, don't have the stones to trust especially an LCD monitor over physical test prints ).   Anyhow the question is: What key do I keep accidentally pressing to get in this mode, and how do I get out of it once I'm in it? 
Thanks

  • Is there a way in the Soft Proofing mode to showHIGHLIGHT clipping warnings?

    Is there any way to show HIGHLIGHT clipping warnings ON my image while in the Soft Proofing mode?  I am NOT looking to see if color are out of gamut...but if Highlights and shadows are being clipped.

    Sorry JimHess, that does not work.  If you adjust for highlight clipping in the normal LR mode, which is in the Pro Photo color space, there will still be clipping in the sRGB color space for highlights.  You can test this by adjusting an image in the Pro Photo color space, making your highlights kiss each end of the histogram, and then open that image in PS or ACR in sRGB mode.  You will see major clipping that you did not see in Pro Photo color space in LR.  I'm looking for a way, in Lightroom, to see clipping warnings on my image, while it is being view in the sRBG color space...so I know, once it's printed in that color space...I won't have clipped highlights.

  • Why does my iMessage always get stuck in the sending mode?

    Whenever I try to send an iMessage it gets stuck in the sending mode and just sits there and in hardly receive my messages because of it, please make this stop. My parents both have iPhones and theirs don't do it.

    The sending and receiving of iMessages is dependent on an active data connection. If you are sending, the recipient has to have an active connection as well, and this can result in the behavior that you are describing. Try double tapping on the home button and finding the Messages app in the multi-tasking tray. Touch and hold the icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap on the minus sign to close it. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, open the Messages app and try messaging again. You can try to message with one of your parents right there with you and see how that works.

  • IPhone 5 gets stuck in screen-off mode

    iPhone 5 (iOS: 6.1.4)
    Recently (within past 2 months) I've noticed that my iPhone will get stuck in the screen-off mode.
    I'll be using the phone normally.  I'll push the screen-off button (top right button).  Then later, (whether it's 1 minute or an hour) when I go to turn the screen back on by either pushing the 'Home butoon' or Top right button, nothing happens. 
    I'll push and push and push both buttons.  All I get is a Big Fat Nothing.
    Sometimes if I leave it for a minutes, then push the button, it comes on.  Other times it doesn't.
    It is becoming more frequent.  The most recent time was tonight.  After trying to push buttons.  Then trying to just wait it out, I pushed and held Both buttons together.  It then began going through the boot up sequence. 
    I don't know if by holding down both buttons, it restarted on it's own, or if it was something else.  But I know that the phone was not off. 
    Does anyone know what the problem is?  I know it's not the proximity sensor.  It's definitely something else.
    Thanks for anything.

    I figured out the problem and how to fix it.
    The problem was mechanical.
    How to fix it?
    While under warrenty, take it in for a Genius Bar appointment and have them give you a brand new one.
    Sorry but that's the only fix that worked.

  • Stuck in soft proofing

    I am working in LR4 with soft proof.  I set up a photo but somehow got "caught" on the screen in the Develop module. My photo is on the screen after working with it, but I cannot budge it and when I go to print it thr Print module is blank and I cannot print the photo. How can I get out of this bind?

    Thank you for your quick reply.  I have looked at forums but never joined
    one until now. I just upgraded to LR4 and had to try soft proofing. I got
    through the the process to the final print in the develop module, but when
    I tried to go to the print module it was empty of the usual setup info. The
    photo just sits there on a gray page that seems to be on top of the
    regular.window. the page says Page 1of1,Paper Letter, Printer: Epson
    Stylus. On the top and on the side of the window are rulers showing the
    8x10 print. On the left top side of the window is a small printer graphic
    and the word Print. I press it but nothing happens. I am in the Print
    module at this point, but no info is in the printer info area on the right
    side.so I cannot print. Of course I turned the PC off and on again to no
    avail. I also removed and reinstalled LR4 all over. No luck. I can use
    every other feature on LR4 and process prints regularly, but I cannot print
    them.  The only thing in the Print module is this photo sitting there with
    no place to go.

  • IPad 4 lightning to vga adapter, works but gets stuck in video out mode. I can't get it to switch back to mirroring without restarting it

    I have an iPad 4 with an Apple lightning to vga adapter. (A1439)
    It connects fine to my HDTV and projector for doing presentations and video etc.
    But if I do show any video on it, e.g. full screen a video from within Chrome, Safari, the apps for Youtube etc.
    or if I do a presentation using Keynote, it locks into working as an extended second screen.
    It shows the controls for the video on the iPad and the video on the external screen, which is what I would expect. But then if I exit the video or complete the presentation, the external screen continues to show the last frame of the video or presentation. Even if I close the app.
    I can't get back to using it in mirroring mode without shutting it down and restarting.
    Surely I am just missing something.
    I've tried force closing the apps that I use, switching between them, starting up new ones etc.
    But no luck.
    There doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere that I can change.
    Any suggestions?

    The same thing happened to me. After the big update, I also experienced exactly what you described. I ended up restoring the ipad a number of times.
    The first few times, I restored from a back-up. The last few times I have restored the ipad as new. It would work the next few times I turned the machine on, and around the third time, it would lapse back into the recovery mode, with
    the image of the serial cord connecting to an i-tunes logo on its desktop. This morning, I restored the ipad as new, but only allowed the apps manufactured by Apple to be synced back onto the ipad. I have powered it back on about three times, and so far, so good. I am waiting to see what happens the next few times I turn the machine on.
    I had a very helpful senior Apple express advisor help me on Sunday to do the restore as a new ipad procedure. He said that if that did not work, the next step was having it serviced. He also mentioned that often the third party apps have problems due to getting corrupt and this often happens after a major update. That is why I thought i'd try and see what would happen if I only synced the Apple apps back onto the ipad.
    It is not good though if I can't put third party applications on it without having the problem of lapsing into recovery mode, so I may have to get it serviced. I am wondering how many others have had this problem after the big update last week? Also, has anyone who was an early purchaser and got the flat-rate unlimited data plan subscription from AT&T, had to have their ipad replaced? Was there a problem with AT& T still allowing you to continue your special subscription plan?

    I've experimented with other mouses just to see if there'd be a difference, but the problem is definitely with the computer. All plug-in or wireless mouses have the same results. Right click still won't work.

  • Soft Proof view mode problem for MOAB Slickrock Metallic Pearl Paper

    I use the Soft Proof mode in Lightroom (LR) for editing printed output, and use either custom color profiles that I make (Spyder Print) or profiles supplied by the paper manufacturer.  This feature works very well, much like the Custom View mode in Photoshop (PS).  MOAB/Legion makes a neat paper called Slickrock Mettalic Pearl, that mimics the old Cibachrome prints, and the supply a color profile that works well in PS.  However, when I toggle on the Soft Proof mode using this profile in LR, the image goes completely white, except for deep blacks which show up as bright green.  When I actually make the print from LR, the print comes out okay, but there's no way to know if it's true to the proof view, since the proof view is unusable.
    Viewing, editing and printing the same image in Photoshop (PS) 5.1 works fine.  Editing and printing when view mode (Proof Setup > Custom) is to the same profile produces a print that's true to the proof view.   So it seems that the problem is between LR and the .icc file.  Here's the link to the profile file:  Go to MOAB Slickrock Metallic Pearl Epson R2400 EPL.icc.

  • Soft Proofing:  View Proof Setup Custom:  Profile Disappears when Re-opened

    Photoshop CS6 on Mac
    Edit an image file and get it to where I like on the monitor
    Duplicate the file and set the new file to the profile for the printer which will be used, by using View > Proof Setup > Custom and setting an imported printer profile for the printing company that I use.
    As soon as you do that, the file looks like crap, so...
    Edit the soft proof file to get it to where it looks good again. 
    Save off the file for the printer and also save the new PSD file.
    Close the PSD file.
    Reopen the new (soft proofed) PSD file.
    Still looks good, but.... when you check View > Proof Setup it's now generally set to Custom: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 instead of to the imported printer profile which was set previously.  WHY????  Where did the printer profile go?  Is it supposed to do this?
    If I then reset View > Proof Setup to the correct printer profile, the image goes to crap again. 
    Is this me doing something wrong, or is the PSD file not properly remembering the printer profile, or... what's going on here? 
    Thanks much!

    None of what you write makes any sense whatsoever to me, sorry.
    Let's start by using correct terminology.  For the last time, you are not "importing" any freaking profile.  Wrap your head around that once and for all, please.
    Let me try once again, totally disregarding the scenarios you were unsuccessfully attempting to describe above.  Forget all that mumbo jumbo for now, please.
    You have not mentioned what your working space is, so let's assume it's Adobe RGB.
    You have finished editing an image, so now you have an AdobeRGB-tagged image.  Fine.
    Now you want to soft proof it to see what it will look like in that FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper printer in Anchorage.  (Made up names of course.)
    So you make a duplicate COPY of your finished image file named BabyPictForPrint.psd.  You're still in Adobe RGB, of course.  You put the original away in a safe and forget about it—forever.  That's like your negative in film days.
    Now you soft proof the BabyPictForPrint.psd COPY by using the infamous FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper.icc profile the outfit in Alaska sent you.
    When you soft proof it with that Alaska profile, you have not imported anything.  Photoshop is simply using the profile you pointed it to to show you in your monitor what it would look like.  Your pixels so far are untouched, yet yo see your image "die" before your very eyes.  Ouch!  Now you need to compensate for the effect of printing under those proposed conditions, so you set about the task of editing the copy accordingly.  Remember, you're still in Adobe RGB.
    Once you have the copy just the way you like it, YOU SAVE ALL YOUR CHANGES in that copy.  Now you have a fully edited image file in the Adobe RGB space but tweaked to look fine when printed in the FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper printer.
    At that point you are done!  Finished!
    Now you are faced with two choices:
    A) Sending the finished, saved ADOBE RGB COPY to your printer if you consider him capable of knowing what he's doing.  (If you think he does not know his business, look for another printer).  Or…
    B) Assume you're dealing with a moron on the other end who wants the image CONVERTED to his custom FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper.icc.  If that is the case, then open your COPY in Photoshop, go to the Edit menu > CONVERT to Profile… and convert the copy to the infamous FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper.icc profile.  It's critical to use CONVERT TO Profile, not "Assign Profile"!
    At that point, under scenario B), you do not EVER want to return to Proof View / Soft Proof mode, ever, EVER again, because then you would be applying the profile doubly and you'd see your image die before your eyes once again, and if you edited it you'd have real elephant poop!
    Hope that helps.

  • Soft proofing: how to A/B?

    Hi all,
    I'm kinda new to soft proofing, so maybe this is a silly question, but here goes:
    My workflow for printing is that i first tweak my photos so they look like how i want them on my computer monitor, for uploading to Flickr.
    After that i choose the one(s) i want to print (Epson 3880) and go into "soft proofing" mode.
    After i've tweaked the photo to compensate for the print, i want to A/B with my original. What i've noticed is that i need to generally add a bit more brightness and vibrance to approach (on physical paper) what i see on my computer screen, so i want to be able to A/B between my original photo and the proof copy.
    But the thing is, when i do this the "soft proofing" module remains engaged for both my proof copy (that's ok) and for my original photo (not ok!) which was tweaked to look good on the computer and never meant to be printed, and on which i never did any soft proofing!!!
    This makes it really hard to A/B between the two copies.
    So why doesn't the soft proofing module automatically turn off when you switch to another photo on which you haven't done any soft proofing?
    Hmmm, clear as mud methinks!
    But does anyone see what i mean and could offer any tips?
    Thanks! ......... D

    Soft Proofing "simulates" on your computer display (transmissive) what the print copy (reflective) will look like in your hands. The two are radically different in contrast ratio, black level, and white level achievable, so it makes little sense to try and compare the two. They will always look quite different. The goal is to adjust web based images so they look good onscreen, and print based images with 'Soft Proof' so they look good in the actual reflective light viewed print copy. What are you trying to achieve?
    You can view them side-by-side by windowing LR and your browser and viewing the image in both at the same time. In fact that would be much close to reality, since browsers aren't always properly color managed. Two separate displays would be even better for this purpose.

  • Soft Proofing: may not work on my screen

    First of all: Thanks so much for implementing soft proofing! Especially in such an easy way! I was really hoping you'd do it exactly like that.
    Anyway, I've got a wide gamut monitor (Thinkpad W520 laptop screen). And I've got an image with a lot of strongly saturated reds (PowerShot S95, RAW).
    Now, if I switch between Loup View and Develop View, I can see a huge difference in the reds because the Loup preview is sRGB (medium quality). I can also see the same difference when exporting to sRGB vs. exporting to AdobeRGB.
    However, if I engage soft proofing and select sRGB, the image still looks the same. Only the little preview in the upper left changes to what I would expect.
    That's not exactly what I would expect ^^
    On the other hand, if I select a custom profile (AdoramaPix, lustre paper), the whole rig seems to work.
    More information:
    - Windows 7, 64 bit with 64 LR4 beta
    - Whether relative or perceptual doesn't matter
    - Only seems to affect sRGB
    - The image shows very, very clear differences between sRGB and AdobeRGB on my monitor, so it's definitely not a visual problem on my end
    - The histogram changes when switching between sRGB and AdobeRGB in soft proofing mode
    - I really cannot see the slightest change in the image when switching
    I hope you can find a fix or point out what I'm doing wrong because I would really like to use soft proofing for images published on the web, which is of course in sRGB.

    I went on about this a little more scientific by creating an image with three rectangles: red, blue and green.
    All of them are 100%, e.g. (255, 0, 0). Colorspace: ProPhoto RGB.
    Results when exporting the images to AdobeRGB and sRGB, concentrating on the reds:
    - sRGB looks very washed out
    - AdobeRGB looks a bit washed out
    - Original ProPhoto has so much red that it almost drives me nuts
    Now, I would really expect similar results when activiating soft proofing.
    But when selecting either AdobeRGB or sRGB, the reds always drive me nuts.
    There is just no difference at all to the original ProPhoto image!
    Conclusion 1: Dorin, you were right, previews are in AdobeRGB. What I saw in the reds was the difference between ProPhoto and AdobeRGB. Somehow my screen seems to have extreme reds (calibrated recently with an X-Rite ColorMunki Display).
    Conclusion 2: Soft proofing with AdobeRGB and sRGB really DOES NOT WORK!
