But I
think people must be very careful when enhancing images in wide gamut
spaces, including Adobe RGB. It is possible to enhance images in these
spaces to the point you will get disastrous CMYK conversions if the
image contains large amounts of important, fine, saturated, and out of
print gamut detail. It simply gets obliterated in the conversion.
Smaller spaces don't have this problem because you can't enhance the
image so far out of the CMYK gamut.
from your experience - how helpful do you think is turning on
softproofing (aiming at some press profile that at least comes close to
the printing process that's going to be used later on in production) in
Photoshop while 'working on an image' (whether in Adobe RGB or eciRGB)?
Is the onscreen preview good enough to make the user aware of problems
she may be running into later on when the image will get separated?
