I really don't use Photoshop all that much but I don't understand this. You can leave your image in ProPhoto all the way until you decide what the destination is. I never worry about soft proofing for the web and just use the LR web tool to create galleries for my website. For printing the soft proof is the final stage and I do this in LR now that it has that ability. Prior to LR 4, I did go to Photoshop to soft proof but returned to LR for printing.

Before opening the image in Photoshop, or exporting it to a tif or psd, surely we should do a soft-proof and verify that we will not clip colors. I like opening the image into Photoshop as a raw Smart Object because if any of the colors are clipped in any color space conversion, it's very easy and safe to go into the SO and correct it. As the raw image itself is not changed, no damage is done. Robert
