Exit proof preview?

[rugfoot]

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!

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.

OH THANK YOU!!!  It was driving me crazy.  I can't blame the cat, tho!!

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).

Thanks you for the "S" tip!!

SO funny. Literally the exact same thing happened to me! My cat walked on my keyboard and it was driving me  nuts!

Haha, my cat just did that too, which is how I ended up on this page!

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.

Believe it or not my cat also caused this - did not understand how my background was now white and on soft proofing.  Thx for solution.

This was exactly my problem, and it was a kitten that caused it.  No joke.

I'm laughing out loud. It wasn't my cat. It was my dog!

That's too funny about the cat.  That's exactly the reason I looked up the answer cause my cat stepped on keyboard

Came here because my cat walked across my keyboard and I couldn't get out of proof preview mode.

Thanks!

I was stuck there too.  hate when the program just does random things.

This EXACT thing just happened to me. I left the room for a few mintues and he did something on my keyboard to put me into proof preview!
