![]() – RI absolute is not ment for ‘normal’ use. IF that is correct, you better choose a rendering intent, that should be either perceptual or relative colorimetric. With that, you would get oversaturated colours, which are responsible for loss of textures (if there are). You have a file with out of gamut colours (but how to do that, when PL4 is your raw-converter und PL’s workspace is AdobeRGB ) and put them to paper, just with an ICC-Profil, I don’t think there is any rendering intent ‘magically’ applied. Happy shooting…happy I quickly read the posts (and somehow remember his blog / forum).Īs you like printing on matte paper, you are ‘elected’ for colour range conversion. I think it’ s all about…trying…see with own eyes…and get a “feeling” for what rendering intent works best with a certain image. But …I have 2 prints that are actually better / nicer (I know that’ s personal), with Absolute C. In general both Perceptual and Relative Colorimetric are used most when printing (probably a reason why these are in Lightroom), BUT I also printed on fine art matte paper with Absolute Colorimetric…this shouldn’t be done according to many “rules” for choosing a proper rendering intent for printing. Still there is a choice between different rendering intents (in Qimage One there are 4: Perceptual / Relative colorimetric / Saturation and Absolute Colorimetric). That also is my personal experience, when I tried to get colours into gamut. ![]() In general he says that it is not worth trying to get everything in gamut…many times this gets worse than letting color managing engine do its job (not sure exactly what he means by color management engine, but ColorSync and printer software could be it). – with Tim Grey (printing starts about 56:00) But then, I also take care of possible out of gamut colours and choose the appropriate paper, if it doesn’t have to be a certain (matte) paper.īest is to try yourself and see, how far you can go and how to control. Most of the time, when I have to do colour range transformation, I use rending intent relative colorimetric for the very same reasons. You get a pleasing colour reproduction without colour shifting, except this out of gamut colour … When set to relative colorimetric, only the out of gamut colour is shiftedĪnd set to meet the next possible, the next printable colour in this case. You get a visually satisfying colour reproduction, but all colours are shifted to some degree, depending on how far out of gamut the highly satured colour had been … When set to perceptual, all colours are compressed to fit into the printable colour range. How to do that ‘best’? – Lightroom offers 2 rendering intents, perceptual and relative colorimetric. You know, that you can reduce that colour’s saturation to some degree (and / or shift the colour) to keep these textures visible. With printing … let’s say, you have textures with a highly saturated colour and want to print them onto a certain paper, that does not hold / cannot reproduce this saturated colour. Well no, not that I know – but yes, you can … Can you then see how far parts are out of gamut? Just a little…or maybe far? This can be important when choosing a rendering intent (relative colorimetric/ absolute colorimetric (which might not be used by Lightroom) / perceptual / saturation. I don’t use Lightroom anymore, but can you actually see what part / how far of a certain colour is out of gamut? I know Lightroom does soft proofing (as does QImage which I use). Only with that it is possible to mass correct all pictures at once, with exactly the same settings TIFF’s are finished files and as such contain no more information about colour temperature. Pictures for a print collection or photo book are (usually) taken with indivual color settings. With the ‘applied’ output-profile side by side (!)Īnd syncronize with the corrected one * ) Softproof jumps in and you select the output icc-profile, When developped in PL4 … and everything is finished, for print collection or photo book (from printshop) * ) Would be a great plus for printing photographers.Į.g. ![]() I don’ t think Adobe (Lightroom) does this…nor any other. DXO PL could be the first software to offer such a refined possibility in soft proofing. ![]()
