OpenGL "As it will render from my output device"

i'm trying decide if need use opengl (there's no question use if videocard made available, that's issue)

 

an excellent article on http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/photoshop-cs6-gimp-aftershot-pro,3208.html . referenced in photoshop discussion in forum.

 

before reading article reviewed http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-cs4/using-opengl-optimization/  "using opengl optimization" in statement made "...so can soft proof sharpening as render output device."

 

assuming "output device" referring produces hard copy (i.e., printer)... has been impression imagery displayed light emitting device (e.g., monitor) inherently different same image displayed employing reflective light (e.g., hard copy).

 

a simpler example designing logo employing colors client in remote location? no matter how calibrated local , remote computer screens 1 can never sure artist , client seeing same colors (human eysight concerns notwithstanding). furthermore if logo going appear in hardcopy, it's still necessary specify pantone colors in program , employ (hardcopy!) pantone source to  accurately communicate color choices client.

 

question: how opengl change relationship computer graphics users have had hard copy?

 

thanks

you have wrong in first place: it's not "seeing" same colors, communicating color intents within standardized environment. that's why there such thing fogra standards. rest of no consequence - if artist adheres standards , reviewer not, can hardly held responsible. again, it's communication more else.

it doesn't. when miscalibrate computer, doesn't matter if screwed or without hardwar acceleration. rest between graphics driver, adobe's opengl implementation , specific monitor color profiles, of course different or without opengl. that's merely academic differentiation, assuming work station regularly calibrated under current conditions.
