Hmm...while we're on the subject of names and LUTs, the SPLASH folks
seem to have an internal non-ICC renaming convention according to
which the best intent for images is relative colorimetric after
reading this List, so they name the relative colorimetric intent
photographic, because that's what they think should be used for
photographic rendering. Therefore, when the user chooses the
photographic intent thinking visual gamut compression is on the menu
card, what gets served up looks very funny, and support calls go to
ICC profile builders rather than to SPLASH.
The Photoshop folks in the US who believe that relative colorimetric
is the best solution for separation and for proofing, because that's
what Photoshop has done until version 6, should maybe make a note of
the fact that times are changing.
Rigging ICC workflows to fit buggy retouching software isn't a good idea -:).
