Rendering styles
The Rendering Style option specifies a CRD for color conversions. You can modify the
Rendering Style option to control the appearance of images, such as prints from office
applications or RGB photographs from Photoshop. The ColorPASS lets you select
from the four rendering styles currently found in industry standard ICC profiles.

style:
Photographic
—Typically results in
less saturated output than
presentation rendering when
printing out-of-gamut colors. It
preserves tonal relationships in
images.
Photographs, including scans and
images from stock photography

Presentation
—Creates saturated
colors but does not match printed
colors precisely to displayed colors.
In-gamut colors such as flesh tones
are rendered well, similar to the
Photographic rendering style.
Artwork and graphs in
presentations. In many cases it can
be used for mixed pages that
contain both presentation graphics
and photographs.

Relative Colorimetric
—Provides
white-point transformation
between the source and destination
white points. For example, the
bluish gray of a monitor will map to
neutral gray. You may prefer this
style to avoid visible borders when
not printing full-bleed.
Advanced use when color matching
is important but you prefer white
colors in the document to print as
paper white. It may also be used
with PostScript color management
to affect CMYK data for simulation
purposes. Same
Absolute Colorimetric
—Provides no
white point transformation between
the source and destination white
points. For example, the bluish gray
of a monitor will map to a bluish
gray.
Situations when exact colors are
needed and visible borders are not
distracting. It may also be used with
PostScript color management to
affect CMYK data for simulation
purposes. Same
