Within the context of the original discussion, QTR, I can't comment.
But for color printing, I generally use perceptual, or, sometimes
not... err...
Often I preview it both ways to decide. There are some situations one
is definitely required, press proofing for example. With Eye-One RGB
profiles, always perceptual as the relcol conversions looked bad, this
may have been fixed with recent updates but I don't use it for color
profiles anymore so can't say for sure.
Color space and input profile conversions are always colormetric, even
though PS appears to give you a perceptual option, it's an illusion.
So it you are refering to the color settings pref, I believe it's only
relevant to CMYK conversions since they are really output profiles.
