Soft-proof images
Soft-proofing is the capability to preview in how onscreen photos appear when printed, and optimize them for a
particular output device. Soft-proofing in the Lightroom lets you evaluate how images appear when printed, and adjust
them so that you can reduce surprising tone and color shifts.
1 With an image open in the Develop module, select the Soft Proofing box in the toolbar.
The preview background turns white, a Proof Preview label appears in the upper-right corner of the preview area,
and the Soft Proofing panel opens.
2 Use the options in the Soft Proofing panel to see if your colors are in gamut, or range, for your display or output
device.
