This creates a device link transformation from the target output space to the
display space (or you could substitute some other display target - sRGB, or
the display profile itself if you dump the pixels directly on the display).
It tries to preserve the expected look of the image from the output space,
when displayed on the display device.
This is a true softproof transform that transforms from the target output space
back to a display device. So to use this you first have to transform
your original image into the target output space using your proposed
output profile or device link, and then separately apply the above
device link to transform into a display space - ie. a 2 step process.
Note that many people & products use the term "soft proof" to refer to a more
complex and less truthful workflow, which tries to combine both the
transform from the original source space to output device with a reverse
soft proofing transform in a single step.

This is using the ArgyllCMM to apply the device link.

Without seeing you full workflow, it's hard to comment.

I understand that recent versions of Photoshop allow you to use device links.
Not having such a version of Photoshop, I can't help you with how that
works.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that.
