Rendering styles

The Rendering Style option is used to specify a CRD for color conversions.
The following table describes the color rendering styles (CRDs) for DocuColor
4 LP/CP software and provides guidelines on when to use each one. Each
color rendering style uses a different gamut mapping method, such as Photo-
graphic or Presentation, designed for a particular kind of color usage.
Rendering style:
Photographic-Preserves tonal relationships in
images rather than exact colors. This rendering
style maps out-of-gamut RGB colors to print-
able colors in a way that retains differences in
lightness. Color accuracy is sacrificed slightly
in favor of presenting color relationships in the
way the human eye perceives them. Photo-
graphic rendering typically gives less saturated
output when printing out-of-gamut RGB colors
than Presentation color rendering does.
Presentation-Creates bright saturated colors.
This rendering style does not try to match
printed colors precisely to displayed colors but
instead provides vibrant, dense colors. Photo-
graphic images, however, are treated the same
way as by the Photographic rendering style.
Transparency-improves the correspondence
between monitor colors and printed color on
transparency paper.
The rendering styles in the table cannot be used when specifying a target
device profile with a color management system such as ColorSync or ICM.
