How to Soft Proof in Affinity Photo

Recently I’ve received a lot of requests to explain how to soft proof in Affinity Photo. If you’ve had experience of soft proofing in other tools like Lightroom, the Affinity Photo approach to soft proofing might not appear intuitive. This video explains how to use the Soft Proof Adjustment Layer to prepare your photos for printing.

If you intend to print your photos or even send them to a photo lab for printing, you need to soft proof them first. By adding a soft proof adjustment layer in Affinity Photo, you can see how the printed image will look on different photo papers. You can then apply corrections to the image to compensate for the limited gamut range of the paper.

In this video, I explain how to use the Affinity Photo soft proof layer together with some of the common photo printing terms. I explain Colour Space (or Color Space) as well as Out of Gamut. I also explain why you get out of gamut colours, how to identify these in the soft proof and demonstrate how to correct them.

The Affinity Photo Soft Proof layer allows you to use four different Rendering Intents. These are Perceptual, Relative, Saturation and Absolute. I provide a simple explanation for each of these rendering intents so that you can select the best one to use when soft proofing.
