The Loupe is moved around the SoftProof by left-‐click and holding to drag it. <br />
The Loupe can be resized by clicking on the button with 3 lines (see image) and dragging outwards. The mouse scroll <br />
wheel will also increase/decrease the Loupe size when the mouse is positioned over the window. <br />
A number of display and control options are available via the buttons at the bottom of the Loupe window: <br />
• + (button) – Click to increase the zoom factor of the Loupe. The zoom factor is displayed at the bottom centre <br />
of the Loupe. Note: 100% = the resolution at which the proof was originally imaged, i.e., 1 screen pixel is 1 job <br />
pixel. <br />
• - (button) – Click to decrease the zoom factor of the Loupe. <br />
• Spanner – Opens the Loupe Options window. <br />
• Eye – Displays the HUD (Heads Up Display) showing the CMYK dot percentages at the centered crosshair or <br />
within the average percentage box. If the image is RGB, the relevant R, G and B values will be displayed. <br />
SoftProof Menu Options <br />
File Menu <br />
• Open Files – Load an image file directly into SoftProof. Supported file types are Canon RAW format (CRW), <br />
JPEG, PNG, PPM, <strong>Serendipity</strong> Blackmagic Image, TIFF and Adobe Photoshop PSD. <br />
• Open Jobs – Load completed jobs into SoftProof. The Imaged (Original) or Rendered (Printed) file may be <br />
viewed. <br />
• Save – Save the preview as a Blackmagic Image File. This can be submitted or placed in a hot folder, or on a <br />
DropSpot. <br />
• Export – Export data from SoftProof. The available formats are CIP3, PDF, Postscript (Separated) and TIFF <br />
Multichannel. <br />
• Submit – Submit the current job to a Media and Pagesetup with any changes. This re-‐images and re-‐renders the <br />
file. When submitting the image to be processed again with any relevant changes, the current image resolution <br />
is submitted. If the resolution is restricted in the Server Settings, this is the resolution that will be used. <br />
• Edit Touch Console UI – Opens an edit interface window to allow the configuration of the enabled (visible) <br />
buttons for control of SoftProof in the Main screen of the Touch Console. Buttons are enabled or disable by <br />
clicking on them. Any disabled will appear with a red cross and will be excluded from Touch Console when <br />
using it to view softproofs. The Toolbar has a preview checkbox to see how the Touch Console controls will <br />
appear and a Reset button to restore and enable all buttons. <br />
• SoftProof Settings – Opens the preferences for SoftProof, allowing for configuration of default viewing <br />
conditions. See below for further information. <br />
SoftProof Settings <br />
The SoftProof Settings allow you to select viewing preferences including how to load a job, and the quality and press <br />
settings used to produce accurate proofs. The settings window is split into three (3) tabs – View Options, Default Press <br />
and Default Camera. <br />
View Options <br />
Window <br />
• Allow Multiple Windows – When enabled, allows jobs to be opened <br />
and viewed in separate SoftProof windows. If disabled, each job <br />
viewed will appear in a tab running along the top of the same <br />
SoftProof window. If a job is dragged and dropped into SoftProof from <br />
the QueueManager, it will replace any open image in the viewing <br />
window selected. <br />
• Status Bar Size – Select the size of the status bar text from Small, <br />
Medium or Large. <br />
• Rulers – Show or hide the rulers. <br />
• Scrollbars – Show or hide the scrollbars. <br />
