You may select profiles for
R G B - and C M Y K . Embeded Profiles are used by default (check box U S E E M B E D E D
P R O F I L E S ). If no profiles are embeded in the file, the option from the dropdown menu is used. If you prefere an special profile
instead of the standard ones you can select ICM file and specify the path in the box below.

In general, actual device gamuts will not be large enough to reproduce the desired color appearances communicated by the
PCS values. Four rendering intents (gamut mapping styles) are provided to address this problem. Each one represents a
different compromise. The colorimetric rendering intents operate on measurement-based colorimetric values... The other
rendering intents operate on colorimetric values which are corrected in an as-needed fashion to account for any differences
between devices, media, and viewing conditions.

The exact gamut mapping of the perceptual intent is vendor specific and involves compromises such as trading off
preservation of contrast in order to preserve detail throughout the tonal range. It is useful for general reproduction of images,
particularly pictorial or photographic-type images.
R E L A T I V E (Colormetric Intent)
This intent re-scales the in-gamut, tristimulus values such that the white point of the actual medium is mapped to the PCS
white point (for either input or output). It is useful for colors that have already been mapped to a medium with a smaller
gamut than the reference medium (and therefore need no further compression).
S A T U R A T I O N
This intent sets brighter colors by neglecting the color fidelity.
A B S O L U T E (Colormetric Intent)
For this intent, the tristimulus values of the in-gamut colors are unchanged. It is useful for spot colors and when simulating
one medium on another (proofing).
CMYK direkt
With Color Management off you can use CMYK direct. For CMYK files the values will be directly given to the printer.
