1.
Choose View > Proof Setup > Custom. The Customize Proof Condition
dialog box opens. Make sure Preview is selected.

From the Device To Simulate menu, choose a profile that represents the
final output device, such as that for the printer you'll use to print the im-
age. If you don't have a specific printer, the profile Working CMYK-U.S.
Web Coated (SWOP) v2, the current default, is generally a good choice.
3.
If you've chosen a different profile, make sure Preserve CMYK Numbers
is
not
selected.
The Preserve CMYK Numbers option simulates how colors will appear if they're
not converted to the output device color space.
4.
Make sure Relative Colorimetric is selected for the Rendering Intent.
A rendering intent determines how the color is converted from one color space to
another. Relative Colorimetric, which preserves color relationships without sacri-
ficing color accuracy, is the standard rendering intent for printing in North Amer-
ica and Europe.
5.
If it's available for the profile you chose, select Simulate Black Ink. Then
deselect it, and select Simulate Paper Color; notice that selecting this op-
tion automatically selects Simulate Black Ink.
