Softproofing.......OK, so how do you get it back?

[SeanH]

Ok, so I have got everything looking good, prints are pretty much dead on after softproofing........but just need a little more help. I can't seem to nail what adjustments to make to get these back to the original look......colors, brightness, contrast....etc.

I can get them close, but man it's takes a lot of messing with it. So I thought I'd throw it up here and see if you guys can nail a process that is short for getting it back. My thinking is that it should be roughly the same for each image. I am posting the original shoot both web size for viewing and a link to the original & soft proofed version.

Here ya go........let see what you can figure out-

original- web size

FYI......the web kinda cut down the differences, but you will see them when you open the file in PS.The difference in PS is pretty big, unfortunately they look pretty close here on the web.

Oh and FYI, this is Costco's glossy profile

Go here (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/videos/camera-print.shtml) and watch the video.

You could try making a few adjustment layers (curves for instance) to make a 'default' correction, but I still think each image will require individual attention if you want it 100%
