You are then provided with two additional controls to affect how the image is converted: Chapter 22 Adjust Menu The Convert to Profile option enables you to convert the profile space of the current image to the profile space of the output device. The result is that the actual color values change, but the appearance of those colors does not change on your monitor. This is due to the fact that you have simply changed the values to ensure that the output device will produce the same colors that you see within the limitations of that output device. The Convert to Profile function results are the same as when you use the color management option within the Print feature. Since an image may be printed on different printers, or in different situations on the same printer, it is often recommended that you do the profile conversion at the point of printing.

The different rendering intents control how colors from your image are made to fit into the colors that your printer can produce, as indicated by the printer profile. Please note: Different printer and paper combinations, as well as the different software used to create printer profiles, benefit from different rendering intents. Experiment with the different rendering intents within your workflow to find the option that works best. The four options are: Perceptual This rendering intent attempts to maintain the relationships of colors so that the printed image appears natural to the human eye. While this intent maintains the relationships of colors, the actual color values will be changed. Saturation The Saturation rendering intent attempts to produce highly saturated colors but it may not produce accurate colors in a photograph.

Convert to Profile
The Convert to Profile option enables you
to convert the profile space of the current
image to the profile space of the output
device. The result is that the actual color
values change, but the appearance of
those colors does not change on your
monitor. This is due to the fact that you
have simply changed the values to ensure
that the output device will produce the
same colors that you see within the
limitations of that output device.
The Convert to Profile function results
are the same as when you use the
color management option within the
Print feature. Since an image may be
printed on different printers, or in
different situations on the same printer,
it is often recommended that you do
the profile conversion at the point of
printing. Using the Convert to Profile
feature is normally recommended only
if you intend to have the image printed
elsewhere, and only when that service
has provided you with their output
device’s color profile.
To convert your image’s profile to a
different output profile, first select the
target profile from the Profile pull-down
Menu. You are then provided with two
additional controls to affect how the
image is converted:
INTENT
The Intent option lets you choose
between four different rendering intents
to apply to your image. The different
rendering intents control how colors
from your image are made to fit into the
colors that your printer can produce, as
indicated by the printer profile.
Please note
:
Different printer and
paper combinations, as well as the
different software used to create printer
profiles, benefit from different rendering
intents. Experiment with the different
rendering intents within your workflow
to find the option that works best.
The four options are:
Perceptual
This rendering intent attempts to
maintain the relationships of colors so
that the printed image appears natural
to the human eye. While this intent
maintains the relationships of colors,
the actual color values will be changed.
Saturation
The Saturation rendering intent attempts
to produce highly saturated colors but
it may not produce accurate colors in a
photograph.
