About rendering intent
Translating colors to a different color space may require adjusting the colors to
accommodate the gamut of the destination color space. You can choose from
different translation rules—called rendering intents—to determine how the
source colors are adjusted and optimized for the intended use of the graphic.
Rendering intent results depend on the graphical content of documents and on
the profiles used to specify color spaces.
You can choose from the following options:
Perceptual is the best choice for photographic images; this option preserves the
visual relationship between colors as what’s natural to the human eye, even if color
values change.
Saturation is the best choice for colorful artwork such as graphs, charts, and
presentation graphics. This option creates vivid color at the expense of accuracy.
Absolute Colorimetric is the best choice for matching logo colors. This option
preserves colors that fall inside the destination gamut and maintains color
accuracy at the expense of relationships between colors. For example, two colors
that are distinct in the source space may be mapped to the same color in the
destination space.
Relative Colorimetric is the best choice for illustrations. This option is identical to
Absolute Colorimetric except that it compares the white point (extreme highlight)
of the source color space to that of the destination color space and shifts all colors
accordingly.
