I know that Lightroom cloud doesn't support soft proofing. But I much prefer using Lightroom cloud to Lightroom classic. 

What is the best workflow / steps for soft proofing when using Lightroom cloud? I have PS and LrC as part of my subscription and am isinglass macOS. 

Is there an article or other thread that someone can point me to that explains this?

I have both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom installed on my computer, but I prefer using Lightroom Classic. In your situation, have you considered using Photoshop to do your soft proofing? I don't know if Print Studio Pro (if that is what you are using) has any soft proofing features or not. How far "off" are your prints, and what is "wrong" with them?

Hi Jim- thanks. When I say I am using a Printing studio, I mean I'm using a external company to print my items.

 

I guess the way I should work is to do my edits in Lightroom Cloud, and then export to PS, and then do a soft proof there to prepare a file for my studio to use.

 

I've found some of my prints have been coming out much pinker than they appear on my screen.

Yes, I think that has to be your way forward. I've not noticed any relevant tutorials.

What are you soft proofing for? In other words, what is the target destination for the image?

It's proofing for printout. Been having trouble getting the right colours to come out on the printer.
