Soft Proofing

Sometimes images printed or displayed on other computers look different than the same images displayed on your own screen. To view how the image colors might look when you print them or view them on a different display, you choose a proofing profile that matches, as closely as possible, the characteristics of the final output device. Pixelmator will then adjust the colors on your screen so that your images will resample the final results.
