Operation Manual

Rendering
Use the following controls to apply a color profile, render intent, and black point
compensation, and to adjust the print resolution.
• Color Profile pop-up menu: Choose a printer profile to use when printing.
• Render Intent pop-up menu: Choosing a render intent tells Aperture what to do with
colors that fall outside of the printer’s color gamut. The two render intent options are
Perceptual and Relative Colorimetric.
For more information about perceptual render intent, see perceptual.
For more information about relative colorimetric render intent, see relative colorimetric.
• Black Point Compensation checkbox: Select this checkbox to scale the black and white
luminance values to the selected ColorSync profile. This option compensates for the
difference between the way black images are saturated on a computer screen and the
way black ink is saturated on paper. Turning on black point compensation can prevent
shadows from appearing as solid black.
• Print Resolution pop-up menu: Choose between applying the optimal DPI for the image
size, a standard DPI setting, or setting the DPI manually.
• PPI field: Enter the PPI for the printed image in this field.
Note: This option appears dimmed unless Print Resolution is set to Custom.
