y Color Management Tab The "Color Management" tab enables you to set the color management options for the images when they are printed. The settings within the "Color Management" tab default to the settings indicated within the "Preferences" dialog. A Please note: If you assign color management within the print dialog, it is very important that you turn off color management within your printer driver. Refer to your printer's documentation on how to disable color management within your printer. Image Profile This displays the current profile assigned to the image. Printer Profile Use this menu to select the correct profile to use with your printer. If you are unsure of which profile to use, simply select the Image profile option at the top of the list. Intent The Intent option lets you choose one of 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. A 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. Capture NX 2 provides the following intents: Perceptual Saturation Relative Colorimetric Absolute Colorimetric This rendering intent maintains the relationships of colors so that the printed image appears natural to the human eye. While this intent maintains the relationship of colors, the actual color values will be changed. This rendering intent produces highly saturated colors, but it may not produce accurate colors in a photograph. This rendering intent maps all of the colors that fall outside of the gamut of the target profile to the closest reproducible color. This profile reproduces accurately all of the colors that are within the range of colors reproducible by your printer. This option preserves as many natural colors as possible and is often the best choice for printing photographs. This rendering intent is very similar to relative colorimetric, except that it maps the white point of the image to the white point of the destination profile. It is recommend that you use absolute colorimetric only 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.
