Colour Sync Dialog

Perceptual Matching—All the colors of a given gamut are scaled
proportionally to fit within another gamut. The purpose is to keep
maintain the balance between the colors of the image. This is the
best way to get realistic images, for photographs and other realistic
graphics.
Saturation Matching—The relative saturation of colors is maintained
from gamut to gamut. So basically the colors are shifted to the edge
of the gamut to get the most saturated colour possible. Rendering the
image using this intent gives the strongest colors and is the best
choice for bar graphs and pie charts, in which the actual colour
displayed is less important than its vividness.
Relative Colorimetric Matching—The colors that fall within the
gamuts of both devices are left unchanged. Some colors in both
images will be exactly the same, a useful outcome when colors must
match quantitatively. What that means is that if the colour is inside
the gamut, it will stay the same colour. However, if the colour is
outside the gamut, it will be mapped to the edge of the gamut. This
intent is best suited for logos or "spot colors" where colour must
match.
