Exit proof preview?

Engaged ,
Mar 28, 2014 Mar 28, 2014

My cat walked on my keyboard and now every time I edit a photo I'm asked if I want to save it as a proof. How do I get out of this mode? Thanks!

Your cat has put you into Soft-proofing mode. To get out of that, press "S", or uncheck the Soft-proofing option in the Toolbar (press "T" to show the toolbar).

You are in softproof mode.

So, whenever you make any develop edit changes Lightroom will ask you if you want to save it as a proof.

The keystroke 'S' in the Develop module toggles the image in or out of the softproof mode, so in the situation as described above pressing 'S' should exit the image out of softproof mode.

I've decided to never learn how to turn off soft proofing so I can google it and come to this page a few times a year. Thanks guys.
