The intent stuff is what us prepress folks do with every job.
There's no need to show proofs of intent variations - although we'll
often have to create interim proofs for our own internal use - as we
know very well what is required.
A worse case scenario is a bunch of OOG values in one area of the
image that require a perceptual conversion and the rest of the image
requiring relative with BPC. That might lead to two separations and
then masking and compositing in CMYK. There are also times when we
have to swap the black channels from different separations or build
custom profiles in PrintOpen to give us the results that we want.
Then we might want to do a lot of sharpening work in the different
channels and some contrast boosting using USM backwards (small amount,
big radius). Moving from beauty to jewellery or having both on the
same ad as we have had all day today requires completely different
techniques.
In short, it's all the work that you can't do in an automated workflow
- no matter how good the profile is.
