Colour Management in PaitShop Pro.
Dec 4, 2015 17:53:00 #
Encouraged by the recent round of price reductions for PaintShop Pro x8, I decide to give it a try as a potential replacement for Photoshop CS6, since I don't wish to transfer to Photoshop CC.
My main concern with PSP, however, is it's rather unfamiliar colour management setup. Normally with Photoshop I use "soft-proofing" and relevant icm profiles when working on an image so that I can see on screen what the colours of the final printed copy will look like for any particular printer and paper. A screenshot example of the colour management menu with Photoshop CS6 can be seen below (CS6).
With PaintShop Pro however, the terminology of the colour management is completely different, and it's not clear to me(even after reading the help page) how the icm profiles should be set up to achieve the same on-screen soft-proofing and final print colours as I achieve with Photoshop.
(Screenshot "PSP", below).
Can anyone who is familiar with both systems help me out here? Is soft proofing possible with PaintShop Pro? Why does PaintShop Pro use such different and awkward colour management terminology from most other photo-processing applications?

You mean that I am not the only one that has a difficult time understanding how PaintShop Pro works?

So far, I've not found a single soul who understands colour management in PaintShop Pro! You would think that Corel would have done something about it by now.
