About rendering intent

Translating colors to a different color space may require adjusting the colors to accommodate the
gamut of the destination color space. You can choose from different translation rules—called
rendering intents—to determine how the source colors are adjusted and optimized for the
intended use of the graphic.
Rendering intent results depend on the graphical content of documents and on the profiles used
to specify color spaces.
You can choose from the following options:
is the best choice for photographic images; this option preserves the visual relationship

Perceptual

between colors as what's natural to the human eye, even if color values change.
is the best choice for colorful artwork such as graphs, charts, and presentation

Saturation

graphics. This option creates vivid color at the expense of accuracy.
Absolute Colorimetric
that fall inside the destination gamut and maintains color accuracy at the expense of relationships
between colors. For example, two colors that are distinct in the source space may be mapped to
the same color in the destination space.
Relative Colorimetric
Colorimetric except that it compares the white point (extreme highlight) of the source color space
to that of the destination color space and shifts all colors accordingly.

Managing RGB image color for selected images

To improve the display and output of a selected RGB image, you can assign a device profile to the
image based on how the image was created. The profile determines the colors that the image
displays and prints within that profile's color gamut. Setting profiles for individual images does
not change the default RGB image profile.
