| Hi.
|
| Don't know who told you that, but View Proof is certainly intended to be
| used with an Inkjet Printer Profile, so that you can get a closer
| approximation of how the image will look when printed.
|
| What a lot of people don't know, is that setting it up ( specifying the
| profile to use, and saving it with a sensible name) is meant to be done
| without an image open in Photoshop.
|
| It does have a number of other uses, but checking out the alterations the
| profile will make, and the possibly limited gamut available from that ink
| set, and the brightness or lack of it for that paper, will all show in
View
| Proof.
|
| It should not look normal when using RGB or Monitor.
|
| Some people I know, always have it turned on when editing, so that the
| colour adjustments they make will always be matched by the print. But
then
| their file will really only ever be suitable for printing on that Printer
| and Paper.
|
| There must be something way wrong if View Proof is showing as Green, yet
the
| Image is printing Red.
|
| Have you got your Monitor profiled and Calibrated?
|
| Is Ps using the correct Profile for your Monitor. It can be checked in
| Colour Settings, scroll up the list of Profiles from Working Space until
you
| see Monitor, and which Profile is being used.
|
| Have you selected Adobe RGB as your working Space Profile in Colour
| Settings.
|
| Are you using Epson Inks? Epson profiles are only accurate with Epson
Ink.
|
| Are you selecting "Document" - Adobe RGB as the Source Space in Print with
| Preview dialogue.
|
| Are you selecting 1290 Ep Prem Glossy in the Ouput Space in Print with
| Preview.

Roy,

Everything matches what you have said above. However just to be sure ...

In document/options I have Printer profile set to Working RGB - Adobe RGB
1998 which is the embedded profile for all my images. I know I could set
this to the Epson Premium Photo glossy but this is not what I have read in
the Ian Lyons writeup. The paper is set in the Epson driver with No Colour
management selected.

I believe that this problem is definately related to data loss after I have
used level adjustment. No adjustment = no problem but then why do I not see
others reporting loss of black and its replacement by orange with the
horizontal striping in the affected area. I'm going to try and get a
website to post a scan of an affected image then provide a link.
