I think this is the best explanation of perceptual and relative colormetric rendering I have ever heard !!! I think I finally understand. I used to just try both and see which one I liked better :).

[russellwelton]

Jose - thank you! That is the best illustration I have heard to determine the differences between perceptual and relative intents that I have heard. Excellent! Before now, I kept getting stuck on the 'relative' differences in colour in the perceptual mode, even though I understand that 'non-native' colours may appear less saturated in perceptual mode. Keep native/skin tones saturation of colours by staying with relative colourmetric for a more true colour print. Thanks again and thumbs up!

It's like you read my mind, exact questions I was about to go looking for.

[albful]

Jose, This is all new to me and you clearly shed light on many of my questions! Thank you for helping me along my learning curve! Much appreciated!

[dunnymonster]

Great advise as always Jose, I'll be checking my rendering intent moving forward 😃

[Mackymcd]

great info, thanks for sharing all your knowledge. I just purchased an Epson P600 and have been watching all your videos

[caulacau]

Sorry if this is a silly question but I'm new to all of this. Am I right to say that, If I print exclusively in black and white I don't have to worry about any of this?
Thanks Jose

Joe, I bought an Epson ET 2850 and have several packages of different Kodax photo papers. How do I find the icc profile and how do I install them? I am running Windows 10.

For your MAC USERS: Here is something interesting (not fun.) l found using "Printer Manages Color" and then applying the ICC profile in my Canon driver box produced pretty well the exact print as using the "Photoshop Manages Color", but I could easily set up presets. However what I did not notice was that you can still change your Rending Intents in PS which WILL effect the print - really badly if you select "Relative Colorimetric" intent. When using a custom profile in the Canon driver, the "Color Matching" is set to "Colorsync". Anyway, I think Apple's Colorsync and Relative Colorimetric do not get along. I guess like you guys say just print from PS using a good profile, eh? Note that "Color Matching" is automatically disabled in the Canon driver when you select "Photoshop Manages Color" in PS, so you just need to set your "Media/Quality" settings.

Hi Jose,
Did you experience different behavior between ICC profiles provided by the printer manufacturer and the ones provided by the paper manufacturer ? In other words, which one should I choose ?

[JonalistTwitMe]

Have a problem with the screen capture use, when I rectangular choose area the ICC/ICM RGB profile changes and the saved output image is terrible so this is a mismatch, I'm using IrfanView version 4.52 - 64bit, and capturing from Firefox browser version 74.0 - 64bit. My printer is a Canon TS3100 series, my laptop is a ASUS Windows 10 - 64bit.
What I alternately have to do with every captured image plus after saving a image is to enter 'Image/Color Corections' on Irfanview menu and change the characteristics (1) Brightness to 41, (2) Gamma correction to 0.45, (3) Saturation to 10 [Default values did not solve the problem] then check mark on 'Save values on exit' and finally click OK. This procedure will save the image if its a capture screenshot to a new ICC making it closer to accurate but not truly correct as I see the image on the browser or other used program esp text which captures so light I can hardly see the result until I do the procedure.
Irfanview color profile is obviously not functioning correctly as it has in the past where no procedure would be called for to repair image saving and captured mages. I shall also ask Irfanview if they can assist me in solving this issue, reinstallation of the program did not work which resulted in the same problem.

If it's okay, could you explain a little more about relative and absolute colorimetric rendering? Also is sRGB IEC61966-2.1 the best working space for RGB in Photoshop when using the inks you are selling? Thanks for the explanation at 5:46. It was really useful.

[MegaNickyk]

Great videos. Thank you so much. May I ask a question? Maybe this is the wrong place. If so my apologies, but here goes... re Canon pro 100s, Photoshop cc 2019 >print>print settings, there's no properties button, as I believe I saw on your screen. So no option to turn color manual adjustment matching to none. I therefore still have my printer telling how to do the job with default icc profiles, while I've also told the Photoshop print management window to have photoshop do it in color handeling>photoshop manages colours. And with the particular Canson icc profile I put in color sync. Does that make sense? I think I'm double profiled. no? How to turn off printer colour management, so photoshop can do it?

Great video
please get straight to the point next time
