Once soft proof files have been produced by I-JPEG then you have a variety of options. In the simplest case you can attach a RGB JPEG
of your job to an email message and send it to your clients for their fast review.
For more professional and higher volume automation you can use OnTimeProof as an automated online soft proofing system. It will
pickup your soft proof files and post them automatically to your client jobs based on job numbers in the Job Name.
Other optins include using these files for hard copy or color calibrated soft proofing. For information on how to use CMYK files with
Photoshop to do calibrated soft proofing please vist online tutorials such as:

Jobs can be output as either RGB or CMYK color space.
RGB files can be opened quickly in a users browser or email for the smallest size and easiest viewing.
CMYK files maintain color fidelity and can be used with Photoshop ICC profiles for calibrated soft proofing.

| Resolution can be set to any value up to the full resolution of the job.
Lower res for web proofs and higher res for local or hard copy proofing. Likewise the Quality setting helps with file size.

In addition to creating simple composite color proof files, you also have the option to output individual proof
files for each separation - in the color of the ink or as grayscale.

Naming and saving options provide the final touches to make sure the files will integrate well with any
existing proofing or online soft proofing systems - such as Lucid’s own OnTimeProof.
