Relcol will be used no matter what your setting is for that
conversion. There is no perceptual conversion available between input
profiles and working spaces. Sorry that wasn't clear. The settings
lead you to think otherwise.
I think it should be available, scanner spaces are often larger than
AdobeRGB, and colors can get clipped. So I use a larger RGB working space.

I'm sure that is fine. But sometimes I preview the different intents
even for printing, looking for potential problems.
