I disagree. Plus why peg an intent when you can see what they do before
doing the dead? You can set up a soft proof for one profile and several
intents and see image by image which intent will work best. In many cases,
Perceptual is not the best way to work. If you don't have a lot of out of
gamut mapping to do, Relative will do a superior job. Some vendors of ICC
profiling software have a better (different?) recipe for perceptual
rendering than others. There is no spec at all and they are free to do as
they please. I find that with Photoshop 6, nine times out of ten, I'll go
with a Relative Colorimetric intent based on the soft proof I see when I set
up new View or when I use the Convert to Profile command (which allows a
user to toggle the intents and simply hit OK when they see what they like.

I don't think you'll get many people agreeing with this one either!
