Using color tools For CMYK images, using System Specified (default) rendering is perfectly acceptable. The Saturation intent for CMYK 4x4 LUT is derived from the Relative Colorimetric intent. In general, use Relative Colorimetric to match a proof. Use the other rendering intents based upon preference. Table 4-1. System Specified Defaults Object Type Images Graphics Text Rendering Relative Colorimetric Saturation Pure Use Saturation for rendering business graphics such as Microsoft Power Point documents, charts, graphs, etc. Use Perceptual for rendering photographic images to achieve a more press-like appearance. Use Relative Colorimetric when attempting to apply the closest color values in the print engine color profile to the input profile, taking into consideration the white point of the media. Used for color matching such as matching a SWOP™ proof. Use Absolute Colorimetric when attempting to apply the closest color values in the print engine color profile to the input profile using a standard white point. Absolute Colorimetric is used for comparing to an absolute value. Highlights tend to be washed out and colors appear light using Absolute Colorimetric rendering. Use Pure for rendering text and line art, as it subdues halftone textures to increase the visibility of text on colored backgrounds. Pure works best with RGB text. Color Management Guide 4-9
