Configuring the Color Conversion Setting

In the Color Conversion Setting screen, you specify a rendering intent.

Rendering intents are methods to convert color spaces.

RGB-CMYK conversion maintains gradation or saturation.

By entirely compressing the input gamut, the conversion matches the color space with the output gamut.

Because the gamuts are different between RGB and CMYK, the entire compression is necessary.

1. From RGB-CMYK Conversion - Rendering Intent, select the rendering intent.

   • supplementary explanationPerceptual is the setting that enables color reproduction using colors close to those before the conversion.
     The gradation is retained by compressing the whole data.
     This option is suitable for photographs.

   • supplementary explanationSaturation is the setting to represent the color which maintains as much as possible the brightness of the color which is before conversion.
     Color shades become more vivid by being converted closer to the high saturation area (the outside of the CMYK color gamut).
     This option is suitable for presentation materials.
