34	On the left, the original, on the right, a view where soft proofing is turned on. The difference is subtle due to the lack of really bright colors, but the soft proofed version is slightly less blueish in the whites of the flowers and slightly less saturated in the greens of the leaves.	34	On the left, the original, on the right, a view where soft proofing is turned on.

36	You can toggle soft proofing on any image using :kbd:`Ctrl + Y`. Unlike other programs, this is per-view, so that you can look at your image non-proofed and proofed, side by side. The settings are also per image, and saved into the .kra file. You can set the proofing options in :menuselection:`image --> image properties --> Soft Proofing`.	36	You can toggle soft proofing on any image using :kbd:`Ctrl + Y`.
