OK, I do that but I'm working in the lab/paper specific color space to begin with. If, as David Mann suggests, I work in a generic space, and then (soft proof) with the intent of converting to the lab profile, I may not get the result I want, requiring that I go back to the image and make more changes, then soft proof again. Isn't it simpler to just work in what will be the final color space, keeping, of course, the original image untouched?
