Soft Proofing for EZ Prints

Hi,

I am going to be signing up for a pro account and will be ordering some test prints. I am on a PC and use Photoshop CS2. I calibrated my monitor and installed the EZ Prints ICC profile to soft proof my images.

My general workflow: open RAW image in ACR (Adobe RGB) and color correct, open into Photoshop, crop, sharpen, convert to sRGB, proof with EZ Prints profile.

When I "Proof Colors" using the EZ Prints profile, the image becomes much brighter/lighter. Should there be a very noticeable difference between the image with and without soft proofing? If it is normal, how can I upload one image to my SmugMug account that will look identical on the screen and in print?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Jeff
