But this matching method is useful when combining 2 output profiles for proofing. Since the color
gamut of the proofing device (2) should be bigger than the color gamut of the destination profile
(1).
Figure 8: Relative colorimetric remapping replaces colors outside of the gamut by colors with the same
lightness, but different saturation (B).
Absolute colorimetric remapping
Colors that fall within the gamuts of both input and output device are left unchanged. Colors that
fall outside the gamut of the output device are clipped to a color on the edge of the output gamut.
This may lead to a loss of detail in some regions. Over most of the tonal range, a close match is
