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.
Show/Hide Monitor Gamut Warning
Colors that are outside your display’s color capabilities appear blue in the image preview area.
Show/Hide Destination Gamut Warning
Colors that are outside your printer’s rendering capabilities appear red in the image preview area.
Note: Colors that are outside the gamut of both the monitor and destination device appear pink in the image preview
area.
Profile A profile is a mathematical description of a device’s color space. By default, the Lightroom Develop module
displays images using your monitor profile. You can simulate a different output color space by choosing it from the
Profile menu.
Intent The rendering intent determines how colors are converted from one color space to another.
Perceptual aims to preserve the visual relationship between colors so they are perceived as natural to the human eye,
even though the color values may change. Perceptual is suitable for images with lots of saturated, out-of-gamut
colors.
Relative compares the extreme highlight of the source color space to that of the destination color space and shifts all
colors accordingly. Out-of-gamut colors shift to the closest reproducible colors in the destination space. Relative
preserves more of the original colors in an image than Perceptual.
Simulate Paper & Ink Simulates the dingy white of real paper and the dark gray of real black ink. Not available for
all profiles.
3 To edit your photo to bring it within a desired color space, click Create Proof Copy. Lightroom creates a virtual copy
that you can adjust to print as you desire. Then, make your adjustments.
Note: If you start adjusting photos and forget to click Create Proof Copy, Lightroom asks if you want to create a virtual
copy for soft proofing. Click Create Proof Copy to preserve your original image and work on a copy. Click Make This A
Proof to edit the original image. Remember that all editing in Lightroom is non-destructive. If you choose to edit the
original image, you can still change your mind or undo your changes later.
Apply Develop adjustments to other photos
As you make adjustments to a photo in the Develop module or in the Quick Develop panel of the Library module,
Lightroom keeps a record of the settings. You can copy these settings and apply them to different versions of the photo
and to other photos selected in the Filmstrip.
