RE: [colorvision_group] Saturation or Perceptual?

2007-05-29 by PJS

The "Color Gamuts and Rendering Intents" section pretty clearly outlines
that Saturation is the "best" for out of gamut color rendering. Other
software may recommend Perpetual, but I have found Saturation to be the best
for my prints most of the time. The explanation of how and what color
rendering is and does is very well described in the PrintFix Pro guide.

The default in Qimage when printing is perceptual.  I use PFP2
profiles but I'm confused when C. David Tobie said, "Saturation intent
is highly recommended, though intent choice will vary with different
subject matter and other factors."  I thought saturation was for
charts and graphs and perceptual was for photographs.

I guess I missed that in the users guide too.

Thanks,

Tom
