guarantee that any particular color will be printed accurately. It maps the white of the input space to the
white of the paper on which you are printing.

Absolute colorimetric (proofing): the same as relative colorimetric, but without mapping the white.
This rendering is also used mainly for proofing, where the goal is to simulate the output of one printer
(including its white point).

Perform black point compensation

The black point compensation option controls whether to adjust for differences in black points when
converting colors between color spaces. When this option is selected, the full dynamic range of the source
space is mapped into the full dynamic range of the destination space. It can be very useful in preserving
shadows when the black point of the source space is darker than that of the destination space. This option is
allowed only when the Relative colorimetric rendering intent is selected (see

Rendering intent on page 112

).
