    Soft proof using your actual display profile. Turn Display Using Monitor Compensation off if you will.

    To be honest I am not finding "Display Using Monitor Compensation" option in the newest CS6...

    And how to activate gamut wornings when "Monitor RGB" is chosen for softproofing? I am testing one poor screen and would like to do a simple test.

    Photoshop's View> Gamut Warning will be based on Monitor RGB

    (Gamut Warning uses the profile checked in Proof Setup)

    what is the point of your test (what are you trying to observe) i find most people are kornfused with Photoshop Soft Proofing until they figure it out

    The problem is that when Monitor RGB is selected in Proof Setup it is not possible to activate Gamut Warnings. I thought that proofing to my monitor would indicate which colors from sRGB space of my picture are not visible on my monitor (as it is poor laptop). I have been trying to make one "academic exercise" basing on http://damiensymonds.blogspot.com/2010/04/check-your-monitors-gamut.html


    You need to uncheck "preserve RGB numbers".

    This is the equivalent of convert to monitor RGB. Checked, it's the equivalent of assign.
