Am I to take this to mean that when I create the profile I am creating
it with a rendering intent in mind?
No, profiles are built without an intent in mind, and then utilized with an intent, plus (ideally) with some pre-intent manipulation.
I thought I could create the
profile and use it with any rendering intent from the program that I'm
printing from...
Correct. The Luminous Landscape quote is a bit loose at best; I suspect he's saying that he objects to the way that Saturation intent can skew hues, though this action does not map to "just any color", it maps quite specificly to intelligently chosen colors, just not ones with the hue values that the reviewer is looking for. Which is fine, if he likes other methods better, we offer other intents to satisfy that... which is why I never objected to that passage in the review, even though I don't feel its very effective in what the reviewer is attempting to say, nor very fair to PrintFIX PRO.
