Relative Colorimetric This rendering intent maps the white point of the image to the white point defined by the printer profile and reproduces accurately all of the colors that are within the range of colors reproducible by your printer. All colors that are outside of the range that your printer can produce are shifted to the closest color possible. This option preserves as many natural colors as possible and is often the best choice for printing photographs. Absolute Colorimetric This rendering intent is very similar to the Relative Colorimetric, except that it does not map the white point of the image to the white point of the destination profile. It is recommended that you use Absolute Colorimetric if you want to proof your images for a specific print device other than your printer, since this rendering intent will attempt to reproduce the results of the output device, including the effect of a different paper color. 159 When you have finished setting the parameters for the Color Profile dialog, click on the OK button. To prevent any changes from being applied by the Color Profile dialog, click on the cancel button. Please note: Each color profile change will create a new step within the Edit List. You may at any time remove or change the color profile change within the current image editing session. If you save the image as a NEF file, you will also be able to go back to the Edit List and remove any of these changes without any loss of color detail. Adjust Menu Chapter 22 USE BLACK POINT COMPENSATION Check this box to utilize Black Point Compensation. This ensures that the black point from the image is mapped to the black point of your printer, allowing the full color range of the printer to be used. If your prints contain either gray shadows or too little detail, try turning this option off. It is recommended that you always use this option, except when you notice problems with a specific printer and profile combination.
