Yes, this is for media/ink/printer/driver related functions, that tend  
to effect all images equally. Which is not to say that you will want  
the same degree of shadow detail in all images, but you can adjust  
that as needed, on an image by image basis, in Photoshop, using your  
output profile in softproof mode, to get the best representation of  
where you stand in advance, to avoid as many trial and error test  
prints as possible.
