Adobe Color Management Module 64bit support

Hello,
are there any plans to release a 64bit version of the Adobe Color Management Module?
We are a licensee of the AdobeCMM and would like to release a 64bit version of our application.
Thank you very much,
best regards
Ro_Gi

if you want to give your 'vote' to having this in 64bit, go to this more in-depth thread
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/please_give_us_a_64_bit_version_of_a dobe_cmm
the workaround is to do the color profile conversion within photoshop, and not within the canon plugin....

  • Color Management Module In Photoshop

    Question:  A color management module is the software that defines the mathematical manipulations by which color conversions are made?

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Re: Color Management Module In Photoshop created by ronzie99 in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussion
    There are different types of icc\icm profiles used in color management.
    First is the color workspace. PSE is by default set to create files in the color space embedded in the image opened and if not then the default color space of your choosing. The type of color space describes the gamut limitations of that color space.
    Next are device specific color profiles. These are the display and printer profiles but can also exist for input devices. These profiles serve as tables to fit the measured characteristicsof the device to the color space requireed. For output devices there are Rendering Intents that can be chosen to determine how the limitations of a device can be best interpolated to fit the color space of an image  into the limitations of the device for best appearance.
    A practical way to think of a display to output workflow think of the color space situated between the displayed image and the output device with the color space in the middle defining limitations as a standard. The devices profiles are then measured against the standard color profile to create corrections or translation table so they react appropropriately to present the image on the display for the output device target profile in an attempt to get a 'what you see is what you get' envirionment for the specific devices used.
    You need to create via calibration either by you (better) or insttall from the manufacturer a profile for the display. This matches your display device to the 'standard' profile. If you go to print then you'll need to install a printer profile (which varies by ink and paper type) either OEM or from paper suppliers or created by a measuring device you can purchase if you go 'rogue' regrding non-OEM inks and papers.
    PSE does not have a soft-proof mode built in like Photoshop. It does have a setup, though, where it will let you assign every time you print an output profile that you select if you want PSE to directly manage the printer for tonality and color, in which case in the printer driver itself you disable color management only leaving the driver to descrive the image quality and surface type of the paer chosen and choosing none or leaving icm unchecked in the printer driver. The profile is selected in the PSE printer driver under advanced.
    Soft proof mode is where the display translation is further manipulated to approximate the printer output. This can happen because you have calibrated your monitor to a standard and a printer tothat same standard. I have an add-on for PSE 10 called Elements +  that in addition to lots of filters and effects adds some soft-proofing capability and curve color level adjustments to PSE. http://www.simplephotoshop.com/elementsplus/index.htm
    In practical terms that is the function of color management.
    BTW: The defacto color space for the Internet web browsers is sRGB. Use this when correcting color for web distribution.

  • RVS4000 IPS identifies flickr images, etc., as Microsoft Color Management Module Buffer Overflow exploit

    If I enable the IPS function in my RVS4000, some images from various popular websites like Flickr and blogspot will not load.  They are detected by IPS as "EXPLOIT Microsoft Color Management Module Buffer Overflow"
    You can test it yourself with this image hosted at blogspot:
    http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a7jkcMVp5Vg/TF3gjYJrHBI/AAAAAAAAMqM/ScJAA8y9nZk/s400/sorry.jpg
    With IPS enabled, that image will not load.  With IPS disabled, it will.
    I am using firmware 1.3.2.0 and IPS signature version 1.42.
    I believe IPS is incorrectly identifying these images as containing the color management buffer overflow exploit.
    Any chance this could be corrected in the next IPS signature release?
    As an aside, I would prefer to open a case with support about this, but I really can't figure out how to do so.  I purchased the RVS4000 when it was still made by linksys.  I would assume I should still be able to get support on it now that it's own by Cisco, but trying to open a case on the web for this seems impossible.  Am I missing something?

    i've just removed the proxy in my browser, so that it connects direct.
    et voila: EXPLOIT Microsoft Color Management Module Buffer Overflow
    but this rises the fear that IPS works just as expected when no (external) proxy is used.
    that would be a serious problem, at least because it isn't mentioned in the online help/manual and because i'd leave my real ip at many places, which i wouldn't like.
    i'd be happy to read a response from cisco to the Buffer Overflow (is it a false positive) and if IPS should work when a external proxy is used (via unencrypted connections, so the [w]rvs has a chance to read the communication.

  • Correct Settings in Windows 7 Color Management Module?

    In flailling around trying to assure myself that my custom monitor profile was actually loaded, I eventually ended up in the Windows 7 CM module.  Since it is not the picture of clarity and is not at all discussed in any of my texts, I went searching around the web and found at least two places where the advice given was that you not only had to ensure that the custom profile was set as the default profile, but also that you had to go the additional step of going under the "Advanced" tab to "Change System Defaults" and to select the "Use Windows Display Calibration" check box.  It is asserted that Win 7 will not load a profile without having this box checked.  Just for the heck of it, I followed this advice and after I checked the box, there was indeed an immediate obvious shift in the monitor profile.  Was it a "good" shift or a "bad" shift is the question. I haven't really been able to evaluate this yet, but I am wondering if anyone has looked into this question or otherwise has an opinion as to whether this is valid advice.
    For reference see:

    I have custom calibrated with an Eye-One puck.  I was just searching around looking for a way to verify that indeed the profile was in place, concerned that it might not be, and came across this advice in the links attached to my first message. But my ultimate goal was to verify that indeed I had my monitor profile in place.
    After reading through the links, although I did tick the "Use Windows Display Calibration" I did not push the "Calibrate Display" button, recognizing that this leads to a visual calibration routine.  In the links I attached, and also:
    http://www.pusztaiphoto.com/articles/colormgmt/win7/default.aspx
    the authors are suggesting that ticking the "Use Windows Display Calibration" is a necessary step to ensure that your custom profile is loaded and remains loaded.  Although I admit that this seems illogical (hence my question) the author of the article linked above asserts that checking this box does not relate only to a visual calibration via the "Calibrate Display" button.  Indeed, in referring to the Microsoft description of this module, where it says that"Windows profile loading" should only be used in conjunction with the visual calculation function his advice his is to "[i]gnore it," indicating that the people who wrote the help article misunderstood its function.
    And, as noted above, after trying this I did notice a profile shift with my custom calibration in place, so it did pique my curiosity. In the last analysis however my ultimate goal is to know that my custom profile is properly loaded.
    Any thoughts on what is the best way to do that?

  • Adobe Color Matching Module (CMM) not working

    Hi,
    i've just installed the CCM to use it with the canon ipf print plugin for photoshop, but when i try to select the Adobe CMM as conversion model it says the CMM is not installed.. Weird..
    I tried on photoshop cc, photoshop cc 2014, photoshop cc 64 bit and all are the same.
    Have you noticed something similar?

    I have the same issue.  in the plugin help I found this "With this Print Plug-In release, Adobe CMM corresponding to Photoshop 64-bit edition is not being released. Check with Adobe Systems Inc. for the latest status."

  • Why did Adobe get rid of 'No Color Management' option in CS5

    I use this option (in earlier CS verisons) when printing digital negatives on transparency film on my Epson 3880. There are a few work-arounds, including a printer utility from Adobe (which only works on tIff files, so it's limitied).
    But why, oh why did they get rid of this option in the first place. Did someone just decide, gee, I don't think that's a feature we want anymore in our program, so, puff, it's gone? I hate it when program 'updates' make my work harder instead of easier.

    Can you prove this with a supporting document?
    Nope...I was told this by engineers familiar with the initiative...
    Was DYP wrote:
    ACPU and for that matter i1Profiler sends print image data (untagged I assume) through ColorSync and the print driver the exact same way as Lightroom and PSCS5 do when Application Manages Color is selected when printing. The only difference is that LR and PS do not allow you to send untagged image data.
    ACPU does send the untagged data through Colorsync, but the image data gets converted by Colorsync or ACPU to the printer profile chosen in the print driver as set up in the Print window of ACPU...so, since the document is in the final profile space of the printer, the print driver does nothing (null transform). Then you choose don't manage color in the driver. Exactly how ACPU works with Colorsync to avoid having Colorsync to an unwanted color transform isn't clear (would have to ask the engineer that wrote it), ACPU is clearly doing SOMETHING different than Photoshop and Lightroom when sending the image data to the printer.
    You can see what profile gets embedded when printing from ACPU by setting up the driver and saving a PDF and opening in Photoshop. When I printed to PDF from ACPU after setting up the driver to use Epson Glossy paper on an Epson R3000, the embedded profile in the PDF was SPR3000 Premium Glossy. Which if sent to the printer should result in a null transform. This is similar to the CS5 work around to tag an image with a color space and have that same color space set in Photoshop Manages Color and set the Printer Profile color space to be the same thus bypassing the Colorsync "generic RGB" transform. However, that work around no longer works with Photoshop CS6 (we were warned that this might happen BTW).
    I haven't tried it yet, but it's possible that you could still work around this in CS6 if you take an untagged target, assign the printer profile, then use Photoshop Manages Color with the profile being the same printer profile and then in the driver set do not color manage...actually, scratch that–I just tried that and CS6 pops a warning that "No Color Managment is not supported" when trying to print without the proper color management and to get ACPU with a link to download it. I guess Photoshop got pretty serious about disallowing this sort of printing. Heck, you can't even print to PDF.
    On the other hand, the simplest solution for me is to simply print out the target using i1Profiler...

  • Proper Color Management from Indesign- PDF- Printer

    I can't get my head around this problem and it's been bugging me for a very long time. Maybe you can enlighten me on this?
    Right, I know (heard), that when sending a PDF document into Offset Printer, it shouldn't have embeded ICC profiles (for whatever reasons). Here comes my problem: my Indesign is set to AdobeRGB for RGB and ISO Coated v2 (ECI) for CMYK images. When I create a new document and place in three same TIFF files, but each one with a different ICC profile (AdobeRGB/sRGB/ISO Coated V2) and then export this document into PDF (Acrobat 4 PDF 1.3, no color conversion and no profile embedding (in Output tab)), only the image with AdobeRGB looks exactly like I saw it in Indesign. The image in sRGB is more saturated and the CMYK image is different as well). This is also visible after printing out this document on Xerox 700.
    Now, if I export the same document into PDF and choose to embed the ICC profiles, all three images look pretty much like they do in Indesign (and even as each other, except the CMYK one being a little bit off).
    I looked into color settings in my Acrobat and found a strange thing. The working color profile for RGB space is AdobeRGB (which is correct), but for CMYK it is "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC.....) - and when I try to change this to ISO Coated V2, hit OK, close Acrobat and open the PDF file again, it is set back to "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC...." for CMYK color space.
    So now I am confused, why images in PDF file that has no embeded ICC profiles look different from what I see in Indesign - is it normal? Or is my Color settings wrong? What would be the proper settings then?
    And my other question: When I place a grayscale image into Indesign, it looks a lot darker than it looked in Photoshop. But when I enable the Overprint preview, they look OK. Now my concern is, what is correct? I don't want the images to come out so dark from print, but I can't really brighten them up any more in Photoshop, because there they look all right.

    I try to stay optimistic about Adobe color management, but it really is broken. This thread is just another example of the problem.
    Monitor profiles aside, the issue is the destination CMYK matching the print condition. Here we need a conversion to ISO Coated v2 (ECI).
    Or do we? If the original PDF is all CMYK, Adobe's default answer is "No Conversion Necessary". You could have US Web Coated SWOP v2 going in, it doesn't matter. If this gets placed in the new InDesign, then re-output PDF/X with ISO Coated v2 Output Intent, you essentially have a false output intent in the new PDF that does not correlate with the original file.
    Then, when you soft proof the original and the new on-screen, there is an appearance shift. But don't worry, it's OK, the numbers are the same. Which begs the question – if the numbers are OK, which appearance is correct?
    So let's switch gears. Start all over, and this time try to maintain color appearance. That means the US Web Coated SWOP numbers will change in the conversion to ISO Coated. Incoming is PDF/X-1a, with US Web Output Intent. This is placed in InDesign and imposed. Now re-output to PDF again, this time "Convert to Destination", NOT preserving numbers.
    Open up the PDF. We still have the blasted appearance shift! InDesign doesn't recognize the Output Intent in the original. All of the CMYK color in the original is Device, so InDesign leaves all the number values alone.
    Back to the original PDF, in Acrobat. Since InDesign can't do the conversion, it has to be done here. Is it easy? Depends on your definition of easy. True, the PDF has the Output Intent. The problem is PDF/X-1a is not a format that is meant to be refried. If the Acrobat working space is ISO Coated, it will treat the entire PDF as source CMYK ISO coated, because – don't forget – it's Device color. Device = Uncalibrated. Convert to ISO, no CMYK values will change.
    That means you have to change Acrobat CMYK working space to US Web. Now convert to the new Output Intent – ISO Coated. Don't forget to enable Preserve Black. Finally! A conversion. Let's just hope any JPEGs in the PDF survive getting refried.
    The PDF can now be placed and imposed in InDesign. Just remember to reset your Acrobat Color Settings now that you've fixed the broken PDF.
    Confused yet? It gets a lot better than that. What if whoever produced the original PDF didn't bother with PDF/X, or including profiles. Then you have mystery meat.
    Mystery = broken. You can't go anywhere because you don't know where to start. Sure, the Acrobat CMYK working is the assumed color space of CMYK content in the PDF. But is that really the correct CMYK?
    Probably not.

  • Help - monitor calibration-color management disaster!

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem that is driving me nuts.  I'm trying to get my monitor calibrated so that what I see on the screen, in terms of color hue/tint/saturation and overall brightness, is what I get out of the printer when I print a photograph.  Right now, what I see on my screen has no relationship to what comes out of my printer.  In order to get one decent print, I'm having to print 3 or 4 test runs to adjust color, brightness, saturation and balance.  It's ridiculously time-consuming and wasteful of paper and ink.  There has to be a better way.
    Here's my situation:  I have Photoshop Elements 8, and am running it on Windows 7 OS.  I have a ViewSonic flat screen monitor and an Epson r1900 printer that is dedicated to photographs only.  I've bought and installed HueyPro to calibrate the monitor, but the results were not good.  After installing HueyPro and running the calibration, the results it gave me are useless for both viewing the monitor and printing pictures.  There is an obvious blue cast to the monitor screen image, and the oranges and reds are oversaturated and neon bright.  The image on the screen looks like the dog's dinner.  When I try to print with that screen profile, the pictures are overly dark, and the skin tones have a grayish and bluish cast that makes them look like the work of a beginning embalmer.  I have PE8 set to always optimize for print and my camera is set to Adobe color management.
    In order to adjust, I've turned the HueyPro calibration off.  For every picture I want to print, I have to open it in RAW, select the Vivid or #3 calibration, max out the fill shadows and adjust the exposure.  Then, I save it to Photoshop, where I use layer-screen to lighten the picture - sometimes twice.  What I see on my screen is a washed out, faded image that looks horrible in every respect.  But, when I print it, I get a good if not great picture with decent brightness and colors.
    I'd rate my results as a C - maybe a B- on a very good day.  That's after all of the jiggling and tweaking.  Before, the results are an F, but only because that's the lowest score possible.  This can't be the best that is possible.  There has to be something out there that I'm not doing right, or something that I'm not doing at all.  I'll take any and all help/advice.

    Would that cause the disconnect between what I see on my screen and what the printer produces?
    It should not.
    Is either PE8 or the printer the better option, or does it matter?
    I would experiment with both.  As long as it is just one of them at a time. Good luck!

  • Color management - Indesign with PS calibrated images?

    How to:
    In PS  CMYK color space  looks great using laser printer. Printer and monitor are calibrated - so what you see is what you get - but only in PS.
    When the images are imported to Indesign or  or converted to a PDF the colors look awful, dirty, with cast.
    What is the best way to preserve color when using images in different design software.
    Should color space be changed even though is all printed on same CMYK laser printer.
    Any help would be great. Thanks.

    >> In PS  CMYK color space  looks great using laser printer. Printer and monitor are calibrated - so what you see is what you get
    Photoshop (Ps) is apparently making a good Conversion to your Print Space-Profile (or you are getting lucky they are close).
    >> When the images are imported to Indesign or  or converted to a PDF the colors look awful
    Be sure you embedd profiles and set up your Adobe Color Settings to use the embedded profiles.
    >> What is the best way to preserve color when using images in different design software
    Establish device-independent 'native' Color Spaces (Working RGB and CMYK) and CONVERT to your PROOFING (print/monitor/Web) ICC profiles as a last step in the printing process and/or Saving a production copy in the target color space.
    >> Should color space be changed even though is all printed on same CMYK laser printer.
    Your Source Spaces will typically be different than your Print Space and your Monitor Space and your Web Space — CMYK is different in that it may be also be both Source/Target spaces — I create/work/edit in high-bit, high-gamut RGB and CONVERT to CMYK in the Printer Utility or in a final production copy when I know the target CMYK profile.
    I recommend reading up on how Adobe Color Management Systems use ICC profiles...

  • Cannot Install Creative cloud OR Adobe Application Manager on brand new install of Windows 7 64bit

    Here is where I've been today...
    I started out this process formatting my C drive (a 120gb SSD),
    then I reinstalled windows 7 64bit  from scratch
    then I ran ALL of the updates "Windows Update" suggessted
    then I installed google chrome
    then I logged into creative cloud and whent to the download center and I think I clicked on like Adobe Acrobat XI pro or I might have clicked on the actual "Creative Cloud" download
    then I opened the installer and it got to about here:
    And then it popped up with this "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the download process (Error code: A12E5). For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page.":
    Then I I tried what I thought was the next best second option.... I downloaded the Adobe Application Manager ("ApplicationManager7.0_all"). After the successful download of said installer
    Then I ran the installer and told it to unpack it's gear on my desktop. It sort of did, but before it was done it gave me this error: "a problem occurred while extracting some files. check available space on your computer and write privileges on destination folder":
    Then I tried to run the akward result of the "failed" extraction (see pic below):
    Which just so happened to have a healthy looking setup file in it:
    So naturally I ran the setup file and got this error "we've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" which gave me two options "Get Support Advisor" or "quit":
    Guess what I did next... I clicked "Get Support advisor"
    Downloaded the windows version... install seemed to go alright and then after this I ran the software package and sure enough I found out that the system is doing great no errors were found!~ Sweet! "inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further Assistance." and as it sugessted Iwent over to http://www.adobe.com/support/ and poked around for quite a while and gave up
    A diffrent thread (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/a12e1-error-downloading-creative-cloud.html) seemed to suggest that it was the downloading of the installer that was causing the issue. So I tried downloading the installer from every possible source that I can find... Mozilla, Chrome, Internet Explorer "IE" 11, I searched despratly for a way to turn off the "Download manager" and all of this has been to no avail!
    I tried a few other things which I cannot recall (I think one of them was downloading it through mozilla which had a little more promise.) and I think I also tried what was suggested in this thread: "http://forums.adobe.com/message/5386547"

  • Print Setup says use Adobe Color Printer with No Color Management even though I have my .icc printer profile selected

    I have a ColorMunki Photo and a Canon Pixma Pro 100 that I have been using on my Mac with Photoshop CC.  No issues.  I must have changed something because now when I go to print, a popup says "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management".  It is telling me that my I am trying to print without color management and this method of printing isn't supported.  So, I reprofiled my monitor and printer and have brand new .icc profiles and it is still doing the same thing.  Can someone tell me the exact things that need to be changed in Photoshop in order to use my .icc profile for color managed printing?  I have no idea what I have changed.  If I change to a different profile that message doesn't pop up.  My document profile says that it is the same as the printer profile I am trying to print from.  Does the document profile need to be set to my monitor .icc profile or the printer .icc profile that I want to print from?  Any help would be appreciated!  It is driving me crazy!

    I did not know what to do next.  At the bottom of the window it said to go to www.apple.com/colorsync to find a tutorial.  I got a message saying that link does not work.  Tried to find the tutorial by searching at apple.com, but could not seem to locate it.  Does anyone know what the report above means and what I should do about it?  
    Also, how to find that tutorial?
    Re Using RGB all the way through, When I print from Photoshop Elements, I select Adobe RGB, Photoshop Manages under "Color Handling", Relative Colometric  under "Intent" and "ColorSync" i the Epson printer box.  Do you mean to do something different in this sequence?

  • In PS C6 I'm getting a warning that "No color management" setting for printer isn't supported. Why?

    I'm using Photoshop Extended CS6. I'm printing to either an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 or an Epson SP4900. In the print dialog, I get a warning I haven't seen in a long time. It says the setting "No Color Management" at the printer is not supported. This is patently false. I am given a link to download the Adobe Color Print Utility (which gives abominable results; I know this from repeated uses in the past), and a service note saying this issue is for Photoshop CS5. Clearly there is a problem, possibly a bug.
    I have never had CS5 installed on this machine. I do have PS CS5.5 and PS CS6 on this machine (I have used all versions of CS in various suites from the start of the product line).
    Can anyone explain this annoying intrusion on my workflow? Of course "no printer management on printer/Photoshop manages color" works... There must be an explanation.
    Thanks.

    An excellent question, and worthy, in fact of an essay, if not a chapter in a book on color management and proofing issues. And as you suggested earlier, it's a philosophical question (not strictly conceptual to my way of thinking).
    It's also a question I can't answer, in terms of practicality and a personal sense of efficacy in dealing with a monolithic process (producing a print). That is, I can't answer for you, or anyone else I'd venture to say.
    Stepping back for the briefest of moments, we should remember we live, on computers, in a virtual world. Whatever we see is a simulation, or if you prefer a simulacrum. Plato would probably say, not much better than the play of shadows on the cave wall from the flickering flames.
    It's called soft proofing for a reason. The only hard proof is a print. I am old enough to remember the days when producing a color print from a chrome (requiring an internegative) or even directly from negative images, was an art, best left to skilled technicians in a lab. And even then it was an iterative process. Making an image ready for accurate color rendition in lithographic reproduction was the same things, maybe times ten. And required sometimes a whole team of skilled technicians, the last of them being the press operator. You can't appreciate the full impact of these facts of life back then unless you have been "on press" in some plant, invariably in the hinterlands, looking at actual press proofs under 6500K calibrated proofing lights, comparing them against the original chrome, the separation proofs used to make the plates. You had to understand not only the physics (and biology) of RGB imaging, but the intricacies of subtractive technology, aka CMYK. As in so much else in life, less is more, and so you had to understand that sometimes the least adjustment was the best (because you were also dealing with the physical constraints of layers of ink on paper), so if an image looked too green on the press sheet, it might be best to throttle up on the magenta just a touch, rather than cut back on the yellow and cyan. You balanced one against the other, because of the possible effects on other parts of the image.
    This long-winded, probably tiresome if not boring, anecdote is meant to be illustrative of the analogous situation in which we find ourselves printing images with digital technology, combined with electromechanical devices spraying pigmented fluids in drops measured in picoliters of volume on substrates of varying physical properties related to absorbency, refractive index, contribution to an arcane phenomenon known as metamerism.
    We can't hope to see anything but a, pardon the expression, simulacrum of the combination of the effects of these phenomena (and other phenomena as a result of the interdigitation of these different technologies, at the software level, and even more so at the hardware level), at least not on a screen (which introduces a whole other set of variables). We can't see what we will get unless we actually go through the ordeal and expense of producing a hard proof. And then using our experience and deductive skills to make adjustments, not unlike maneuvering a rover on the moon from a control station on earth, that will produce the desired outcome within a very narrow (I assume) set of parameters.
    Personally, I prefer working in Lightroom and in Photoshop in order to produce the image I would like to see in an ideal, if you like a Platonic, world. If what was on the screen could somehow be transferred magically to the surface of a lovely unsullied sheet of Arches cold press watercolor paper, 350g/m^2 coming out of an Epson 9900... (I've done it). Not so easy.
    What the soft proofing capabilities of Photoshop are good for, from my point of view, is to show me how far off the image I am looking at as ideal will fall short on the intended target substrate. I must always remember, it is not a wholly accurate rendition of what the printer will do with a sheet of paper from a particular production run, with the particular combination of inks (with varying dates of origin of manufacture), never mind the vagaries of temperamental nozzles in the printhead, not to mention conditions of humidity, temperature, etc.
    What the softproof tells me is that the red in that scarf on my subject really needs bumping up, if I expect the level of vibrancy I see I need in the ideal rendition. And I make the adjustment in the RGB representation on the screen, etc. When I have made my by guess and by gosh adjustments to all problem areas as suggested by the soft proof (it is only as accurate after all as the RGB image is in depicting any realistic expectation of a final result—the only assurance I have is that if I really want people to see my image as I see it on the screen I had better show them the screen...), I make a print. Sometimes I have to make two or three until I am satisfied this is truly the best I will get from the beautiful, but arcane, surface of the paper I have chosen.
    In short, it's a risky business, and expensive.
    If you want fast and affordable, frankly, stick to premium grade high gloss surfaces, preferably from Epson, in your case, or the manufacturer of your printer in general (Canon, incidentally, produces spectacular results on their Pixma Pro series printers and their own papers, especially the Pro Luster surface... I don't even bother with soft proofing... so there is an exception even to this rule I am taking a lot of time to point out to you). High gloss papers tend to have the widest gamut, give the deepest blacks, and the best renditions of saturated color, red and blue particularly, for some reason often the hardest spectral colors to render with the level of saturation you might like. Especially if you tend to shoot vividly colored subjects.
    If you regularly use matte surface, or so-called fine art or watercolor surfaces, I think even if you adhere to the workflow implied in your question... Just set the computer and screen to "soft proof" in effect in Photoshop and work from their, and hope for the best... you are in for massive chronic dissatisfaction.
    One last thing, I produce what I consider a basic working image in Lightroom, add further effects using a battery of third party effects software (from Google Nik, OnOne, Imagenomic, AlienSkin, etc.) and then go to work further on the image in Photoshop, but I never save the image, except as a revised file, once I'm done with Lightroom adjustments (which are never applied to the RAW file, but kept as meta-instructions separately in the LR database). So any effects added produce a new file. Any changes in Photoshop produce a new file. And when I am working, finally on an image to make into a committed hard print, I NEVER save the settings I use to produce a print, including a print I deem acceptable for exhibition. If nothing else, I can honestly tell a print buyer they are getting a unique "hand-made" image. I don't feel I'm operating a factory after all, but a studio. Further, changes in technology occur dynamically and continuously. I don't know what I would do with the settings I derived from working solely in the "soft-proofing" mode you think you might prefer in your workflow, if a new paper or ink set, or printer came along that solved the problems I had to fudge around to get a decent print with the existing technology at the time. At least if I work solely in RGB trying to achieve an "ideal" rendition, I will always be able to start from that same point, the next time I want a print worth saving of that image.
    We've gone, or I've gone, way off topic here, and I beg the indulgence of anyone else who might be reading this, hoping for a simple fix to the original simple problem.
