For mass production with a single setting I agree, Henrik, but not all work
is on that scale. I recently shot a series of low gamut landscapes in the
fog; I didn't need to compress their alreaqy low gamut, so RelCol did fine
for them. A few days later I shot skiers in brilliant outfits in bright
mountain sunshine... no way those images would fit within any output gamut
without compression. Those images got Perceptual rendering; and if I had to
print them all in one magazine as illustrations for two articles, I the whole
thinmight get Perceptual. But we have this habit in the US of looking at the
content before we decide... and running our low gamut image files through the
Relative Colorimetric intent, like our vector illustrations... it was only a
couple years ago many users were still using Photoshop 4 to do their
seperations, and getting RelCol for all of them.
