ICC Profiles and PSE6?

[JayhawkCWE]

Does anyone know if you can use ICC profiles to proof in Photoshop Elements 6?

I'm trying to help out a friend of mine and she can preview it in the print window, but not while she's working on the actual photo in the editor. Photoshop CS5 has the View>Proof Setup option. Does Elements 6 have anything like that?

I wouldn't even know how to get the ICC profile in there in the first place... It's a VISE-X installer from Epson (r1900) and when I expand the contents it doesn't have the file I'm looking for. I can't find a folder to put it in anyway. getting discouraged on this one...

Yes. No, you can't softproof in Elements 6.

Sorry, no.

You have to use a spectrophotometer to profile the printer (ICC profile) and calibrate the computer display. You need both the display profile and the printer ICC profile to 'soft-proof'.

Here is a respected spectrophotometer made by X-RITE: x-rite colormunki
